Movies in hi-tech 3D format can be harmful to young children.


They only formed organs of sight, and therefore "unnatural" images can hinder this process. Also not recommended to watch these films for people with visual impairments.

"If we start loading the child's unnatural stimuli, such as 3D, then, accordingly, we interfere in the normal physiological process of natural development of the organ of vision. Therefore, children, especially young children, I would not recommend 3D", - has told Hristo Tachhidi, CEO of IRTC "Eye Microsurgery".

As you know, the organ of vision develops in humans at once, little children learn to perceive the world gradually, in several stages. These structural features of the human eye - what we see, then "corrected" in the brain. Full-scale vision appears finally only to five years.

In addition, strabismus, one eye and others with visual impairments watch 3D movies just useless - they do not feel all of its effects. As noted by microsurgery, doctors are only beginning to study the impact of 3D on human vision, and all its implications is still unknown.

"So far we (ophthalmologists) are not very well aware of the negative moments of the impact of this whole situation on the body, your vision. Due to the fact that it has now become urgent, we began to explore, work in this regard in the near future, of course, there will be any some indications, contraindications, particularly nuanced. It will be dealt with the issue of improving and location, and broadcast the same glasses and other attributes of the system 3D ".



A resident of Taiwan has died after watching a 3D-cinema new James Cameron's blockbuster "Avatar". Straight from the cinema 43-year-old man was taken to hospital where he died, despite the best efforts of doctors.

Medical experts have determined that the cause of death of the viewer has a brain hemorrhage. Doctors also noted that this patient had repeatedly complained of high blood pressure.

However, earlier and other spectators complained of dizziness, nausea and dimness in his eyes during the session. In particular, more than three million Britons have doctors that feels a headache when watching the movie "Avatar," Vesti ".

In turn, the researchers noted that not all people can watch the 3D-movies without experiencing discomfort. The experts explained that the difficulties during the show surround cinema arise from the so-called "stereoscopic vision". According to experts, the perception of three-dimensional images also interfere strabismus, the effect of "wandering eye" and ambiopatiya. By the same technology used to create 3D-effect may cause some viewers and more severe physical reactions.

Recall that when James Cameron had looked millions of people. Less than 4 weeks rent painting from around the world more than $ 1.6 billion Painting on the list of the most commercially successful films.
