If you get headaches, your head turns or you have other reactions when watching a 3D film, why not consult an opthalmologist instead of giving up on the technology?

According to a recent poll 40% of us suffer at least “a bit” after watching a 3D film. If so many of us are getting at least a momentary headache, why not consult the experts? This is the suggestion made by Larry Benjamin, Vice President of the Royal College of Opthalmalogists, in a report broadcast by Euronews.

Benjamin explains that 4% of Britains suffer from amblyopia, otherwise known as lazy eye, and that, in general, to enjoy 3D you need good vision!

When will we start getting 3D cinema sessions on the NHS?
