Does anyone else have trouble "seeing" the 3D shows?

All it takes is your eyes being out of balance. Your brain biases to the strong eye if one is significantly weaker than the other. I didn't need glasses till I was in college a couple of years. At first my eyes needed the same amount of correction. Gradually they changed. That is when I went to Disneyland and saw Capt EO and had such an awful time. Eyes watering etc. Getting new lenses didn't seem like apriority the other times I visted Disney, but this last time I had new lenses. I haven't needed a change in strength for nearly 10 years but my eyes like to change the angle that needs correction, which throws off depth perception. All the 3D effects were GREAT.

If you have sensative eyes, just time your new perscription for before you leave

this is so weird..someone just told me about this ( I only see light/dark in one eye) and from what I recall, I could tell * something *was different during the 3 d effects but guess I am missing alot! hope to have my new glasses by the time we go ( almost flunked my eye exam on my Driver's Lic. renewal .... he told me to "guess"so he wouldn't have to flunk me. (?!!!)..i'm staying off the roads till i get the new glasses for obvious reasons!) but don't think they will help with the 3D aspect

Thanks everyone! Now I don't feel like such a mutant! It's funny because I have never had eye problems and do not even wear glasses - but have always had an issue with depth perception. Not a big one - just little things like seeing a rope divider or catching high fly ball.....

I can definitey see some 3d effects. and when the effect is not too close, I see it perfectly! It is when things get **REAL** close that, instead of popping out of the screen, I just see double! So when everyone is reaching out trying to grab whatever it is, I am trying to figure out how to see it that way!

Oh well, I like the movies anyway!!

We had a thread going about this a while back and we all dubbed ourselves members of the "Funky Eye Club!"

BUT GUESS WHAT? I just returned from WDW and I could see some of the effects in the new Mickey's Philharmagic! yea! There is one part where there are some colorful gemstones and they look like they are right there dangling in front of you! It was so neat to be able to see them.

The one I have the most trouble seeing is Muppets 3D. Can't see any of the effects. I can tell where I am supposed to be seeing them, but they don't really look 3D to me.

3D technology is definately getting better. Has anyone seen Ghosts of the Abyss? I had NO trouble in that one and the entire thing was filmed 3D. Mayb ethe IMAX frame rate helped too...

I guess my DH and I are no alone. He has a neurological condition that sends his eyes in all different directions sometimes, so he has trouble with everything! I am nearsighted with an astigmatism and the 3D effects make my eyes water. I'm sure that I don't see them nearly as well as I should. We saw an IMAX 3D movie at the NE Aquarium in Boston this fall and it drove my eyes nuts (not to mention the fact that I am afraid of heights and we were sitting up up high!).............P

You can add my DW to the list of folks who can't see 3-D. She's got an easy explanation though. She lost her left eye due to complications from childhood cancer. Can't see 3-D with one eye. No depth perception either.

She will do the Disney 3-D shows and can see them fairly clearly with only a slight shadow/ghost. However, she won't do the older 3-D movies with the red and blue glasses. That just looks blurred and gives her a headache.

I can see some parts of the 3D movies, but when they "pop" out at me, that is when everything turns to a big blur. I also cannot see the picture in picture 3D things in the comics. I have had that part of my vision tested & was told that I have "lost" part of that site??? I do know that I have a lazy eye & my eyes aren't level to boot! One eye is slightly lower than the other, I was born that way....people do not notice it until I point it out. I can see it very easy & have always been self consious about it. On top of all of that .... I have that ever loving over 40 vision LOL
Here I thought I was one of the odd balls that couldn't see 3D..... I see there are many of us!!!!

I am nearsighted in Both eyes, and wear the 3-D glasses OVER my glasses! I see just fine!

My son can't see 3D. He has an eye condition called Nystagmus. His eyes move when he is tired or stressed. He did have surgery similiar to the Strabismus surgery that airbusdrvr talked of. It is much better, but the doctor says he will not ever see 3D very well.

Like many here, I see some depth to the movies, more than a 'non-3-D' movie, but like others, things do not 'pop' and 'jump' out at me. When I hear the reaction of those in the sudience around me, I say to myself, 'darn it, missed another one', LOL. I see some, like those jewels mentioned earlier, but not too often. I d enjoy them though.
