"Approximately 20% of people suffer from a variety of conditions that prevent them from seeing 3-D effects and in many cases, feel dizzy or sick to their stomach when trying. Conditions such as amblyopia or “lazy eye” or strabismus “eye turn” are to blame. Looks like Depp will not be able to appreciate his very own film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is set to premiere on May 20, 2011 in IMAX3-D. “People who cannot see the 3-D effects or notice symptoms such as headaches, nausea or dizziness in the theater in either themselves or their children should schedule an appointment with their optometrist so they can diagnose vision problems,” continues Dr. Gording. “The good news is conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia are treatable, and with proper treatment , people will be able to enjoy 3-D movies, reading and playing sports without any problems.” While moviegoers around the world have reported feeling sick after viewing 3-D films, those who live in California can easily find a local optometrist by clicking on the advance search feature on the “Find an EyeDoc” link on www.eyehelp.org.
