Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the compatibility of 3D movie experiences, specifically IMAX and RealD 3D, with the condition of having a lazy eye. Participants explore whether these formats would be beneficial or enjoyable for someone with this visual condition.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses uncertainty about the suitability of 3D formats for someone with a lazy eye, questioning if any 3D system would be effective since they rely on input from both eyes.
  • Another participant shares their personal experience, indicating that their good eye provides most of their vision, suggesting they might still enjoy a regular IMAX experience despite the lazy eye.
  • A later reply emphasizes that the original poster should consider trying the 3D experience to determine its effectiveness for themselves.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that traditional 3D systems may not work well for someone with a lazy eye, but there is no consensus on whether trying the 3D experience would be worthwhile.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of detailed discussion regarding the specific visual mechanics of lazy eye and how they interact with 3D technology, leaving some assumptions unexamined.

I know I'm not in the right space for thise, nor smart enough to be here, but iplan on seeing Suicide Squad Friday at IMAX. Icant use those red and green glasses they have because I have a azy eye and the don't work compatibly with each other. I just heard of IMAX RelD 3D and was wondering if it would help, if its worth it, or if I should just sit back and watch the movie like a gentleman. Thanks.

If I understand what a "lazy eye" is correctly, your brain is ignoring the input from one eye. If so, then I don't think any 3D system would work since they all require that your brain process the input from both eyes to generate a 3D image. I'd save your money and watch a non-3D showing. Of course, you could try it out this once and see how it works for you. Then you'd know for sure.

This is correct. My good eye sees about 90% of my vision while my bad eye sees about `10%. Thanks for your response. I'm sure Ill enjoy it in regular imax, anyways.
