Often the bone of contention comes as to how a laser eye surgery can affect one’s normal life. With every other movie being release in 3D, the experience of watching such 3D TV is exceptional. Eye doctors are confident based on research, proven inferences and historical patient data that LASIK does not interfere with a person’s 3D TV viewing capabilities. In fact, it could enhance it. The collective consensus is that watching 3D movies is easier on the eyes after this type of surgery.
Watching 3D content after LASIK surgery
Different types of this eye surgery exist. Each surgery has a specific set of effects on the eyes. One type of surgery will rectify problems in both eyes. People who have undergone this type of surgery will need glasses for viewing far and near objects. Monovision LASIK corrects one eye for far vision and the other for near vision. The brain gradually adjusts to this difference in focuses. Patients who have undergone this type of surgery may not need glasses or contacts.
Generally, there is no problem in watching 3D multimedia content if both eyes have been resolved using the same prescription. However, with the Monovision treatment, there could be problems, but there is no scientific theory or proven test data supporting it. The best way to gain more knowledge on this is to visit Sugarland Eye & Laser Center in Houston to check with their expert eye surgeons.
Can patients who have undergone Monovision treatment watch 3D movies without trouble?
Mild cases of Monovision won’t interfere with a 3D watching experience, but advanced cases could, but this is not a general statement. The ability of a patient’s brain to adapt to this differential focus of vision matters. At the end of it all, a Monovision treatment has far more lifestyle benefits than not being able to watch a 3D movie. This type of treatment reduces reliance on glasses or contact lenses for seeing near and far objects. So the trade-off is a win-win situation for the patient.
Is it true that watching 3D movies of TV can correct stereoblindness?
An interesting medical report made headlines. A psychology professor opined that viewing 3D visuals can restore a patient’s eye vision problems. Some people have problems with viewing more than two dimensions. This condition is called stereoblindness or strabismus. In this condition, the brain ignores eye signals from one eye, also called lazy eye, wherein such patients cannot see two-dimensional visuals.
In children, an eye patch resolves this problem. In adults, 3D glasses can induce the brain to adapt to 2 and 3 dimensional visuals. The 3D glasses train both eyes to view visuals so a gradual reduction of the lazy eye syndrome is achieved. Although there is no evidence to suggest that this can be a solution for everyone, eye doctors feel that is has helped numerous patients with strabismus.
Conclusion
A preliminary check-up at a renowned eye hospital is the best way to avoid future complications. It is best to discuss all problems and probable solutions with an eye doctor.
