A 3D video game manufacture warns parents that children under the age of six should not play games due to the concerns that it may damage their eyesight. For its part, the American Academy of Ophthalmology states that currently "there are no conclusive studies on the short-and/or long-term effects of 3D digital products on eye and visual development, health, or function in children, nor or they persuasive, conclusive theories on how 3D digital products could cause damage in children with healthy eyes." There have been reports of users of current 3D home systems experiencing nausea and eyestrains after prolong use of the system. However, children with eye conditions that inhibit focusing depth perception or normal 3D vision would have difficulty seeing 3D images. Any problems (such as headaches) arising from using 3D products warrant a visit to the ophthalmologist.
Knowing what to look for and what to do in preserving your child's eye health is tantamount, as good vision is key to a child's physical development, success in school, and overall well-being. Providing you with the highest level of eye care is what we are all about. Rest assured that you and your family's good vision is what we are dedicated to. Remember that the early diagnosis of vision problems increases the percentage of successful treatment.
