Specializes in Internal Medicine

A warning sign?: A flashing light or curtain in your field of vision raises the concern of a retinal detachment. That should be ruled out promptly. Please give your ophthalmologist a call will be checked at the emergency room. Good luck!

At 3d shows, I notice the 3d effects maybe 2-3% of the time. The rest of the time, the picture looks the same with one or both eyes open. All the tests I've tried suggest stereoscopic vision/depth perception is fine ... so why can't I see 3d?
