This is curious

I have a couple of 3D glasses left over from when my son and I went to see Avatar. I just put them on and it seems I can see things with more depth. Should it work that way with regular vision? It's very subtle but still noticeable. I think I have Irlen Syndrome but I think that's unrelated. I did have Amblyopia as a child though and have a depth perception problem.

That's what my glasses are like too. I was playing with a friends 3D glasses and I noticed it too.
Irlen's isn't completely unrelated. The tint in the 3D glasses might make you see better.

I looked into Irlen Syndrome and looked at the examples of distortions and I see "rivers" and also it seems like the white of the page is too bright. I've described it before as the light getting in the way. I don't read slow or have the headaches but my comprehension level is really bad. I was looking around some more and noted that Donna Williams is not a fan of a "certain company" and that it was possible to get tinted glasses at a fraction of the cost. I also saw at another site that you could order color overlays to put on a printed page for a little over $20 USD. One of the sites mentioned that the incidence of Irlen Syndrome is in the mid teens percentage for the average population but jumps to 50% for the autistic population. If someone with normal vision puts on 3D glasses, is their vision distorted in any way?
