3-D Eye Myth Video Goes Viral
Posted on June 4th, 2010 by Lisa P.VSP’s first EyeFiles video “Do 3-D movies cause motion sickness?” starring Bill Nye the Science Guy has gone viral. Bill Nye has been teaching us all things science since the 90′s and it looks like his popularity hasn’t been lost.
3-D is a topic that carries across all generations and genres and here’s are just a few of the bloggers from various focuses that found this video and topic worth sharing:
- BlogHer: Bill Nye the Science Guy is becoming a Mythbuster (sort of)
- Cinematical: Get Seasick in 3-D movies? Bill Nye is Here to Help
- Crunch Gear: Bill Nye the Science Guy (!) Explains why 3-D movies can make you sick
- The Movie Blog: Bill Nye the Science Guy talks 3D Disorientation!
- Pulse 2: Bill Nye is Back and He’s Doing a YouTube Channel for VSP Vision
Check back with us every week as Bill Nye, along with VSP provider Dr. Phelps, continue to debunk common eye health myths in VSP’s EyeFiles webisode series. In the meantime, check out the Today Show clip on 3-D and overall eye health.
Be sure to visit VSP’s Facebook - Contest tab for your chance to win a FREE pair of Glasses/Sunglasses through the Eyewear Makeover Contest.
Bill Nye & Dr. Roger Phelps promote eyecare by debunking top eye health myths in VSP EyeFiles
Posted on May 27th, 2010 by Liz B.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.
VSP EyeFiles Episode #1: Do 3-D Movies Cause Motion Sickness?
Posted on May 25th, 2010 by Liz B.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.
Introducing Wink Glasses, appropriate name council approved.

Will this product reduce eyestrain – yes. Will it also make you look silly while using it – yes. Can you even understand the product page - maybe.
Aimed at reducing stress upon the eye while staring at bright lit, boxy objects that change shapes and colors (some might call these computers, or TV screens), the Wink Glasses will dectect how long you’ve gone without blinking. In order punish these non-blinkers, the device will automatically fog up, forcing the user to blink to clear up the device.
Initially targeting the gaming and computer audience, I’m finding other uses for this product. Imagine these being thrown into the national 
staring contest semi-final rounds, or maybe tossing them on before your 2 hour long lecture on soil & minerals – forcing you to at least seem interested by blinking every once in a while.
Projected to hold up to an 8-hour charge, Wink Glasses can be connected via USB. Product will be released on the Japanese market this month for 15,750 Yen, translating to 7,895 Rupees, or 99.45 Pounds, depending on where you live.
