...wear glasses. It seems surprising, then, that the Hygiene Department has no facilities for eye care. When students catch colds, they drop in for a shot of penicillin at the Hygiene Building. When they get toothaches, they visit the clinic's complete dental facilities. But when they suffer eyestrain, they face the unhappy alternative of ruining their eyes or riding in to Boston on the MTA to see a specialist. As a result, many students delay a checkup until their original eye strain is worse...
...certain amount of eyestrain appears almost inevitable." It is definitely not inevitable, and there is good reason to believe that watching 3-D movies, properly photographed and properly projected, is easier on the eyes than watching a conventional "flat" or 2-D movie . . .

For all their skill in 2-D photography, the technicians still knew little about stereoscopy. One expert solemnly told Hollywood that the stereocamera sees things just as human eyes do because its openings are fixed four inches apart-"just as human eyes...
...Miss Britton pushes her puckered lips right at the camera. These are gimmicks, and poor ones, since the third dimension does not seem to work near the camera. The image becomes blurred and Miss Britton develops another head. The only sensation that the audience feels is one of eyestrain. But equally poor are long distance shots, backgrounds seem that and artificial. The best effects come in the middle distance, although close ups of immobile faces...
