Green Lantern: 2011 Warner Bros.
The results are in and 80% of our friends on facebook voted Avatar the best 3D movie they’ve ever seen!
The summer is fast approaching and the box office has a number of great 3D movies for everyone. Whether you prefer the animated Disney classics or lean more toward the impending-doom thrillers, the ones coming soon to a theatre near you are Kung Fu Panda 2 (Now Playing), Green Lantern (6/17), Cars 2 (6/24) and Transformers – Dark of the Moon (6/29).
If you’ve ever experienced discomfort while watching a 3D movie, you’re not alone. Although 3D won’t cause permanent injury, it can cause vision sickness in about 30% of the population. The best solution is to look away from the screen about every 20 minutes and focus on something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. See more FAQs around 3D and vision.

Was Bugs Bunny right? Do carrots really improve your eye sight? Well, not exactly. Eating carrots won’t make you see better than you already do, but Bugs’ favorite snack is packed with important vitamins and nutrients that can help protect vision. This is just one example of a common eye myth that has led to confusion about vision health and proper eyecare habits.
To help educate Americans on eye health and debunk common myths, VSP has created a series of webisodes called VSP EyeFiles featuring the iconic Bill Nye the Science Guy and Dr, Roger Phelps, a VSP provider.
As part of this initiative, VSP Vision Care sent an online survey to VSP doctors across the country, asking them for the most common vision-related myths they hear from their patients on a regular basis.
The VSP doctor myth research survey revealed that:
Myth: Working many hours in front of a computer screen will harm your eyes.
Fact: 31 percent of doctors say they hear this myth on a daily basis. Although using computers will not damage vision, fatigue, headaches, neck pain or eye strain may occur with use over extended periods of time. This overuse can result in a serious condition called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). To help prevent CVS remember the 20-20-20 rule; every 20 minutes, spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away.

Without further ado… here’s the first official EyeFiles video featuring the one and only Bill Nye the Science Guy! In this video, Bill examines the claim that 3-D movies can make you feel sick or dizzy. Is it true….?
What do you think? Curious to hear the thoughts of Dr. Kevin Pho, Jesus Diaz, FitSugar, Ken Denmead, and Richard Lawler on the topic as well.
