Does 3D really hurt children's eyes?

The person I responded to claimed eyes were already being damaged by screens. I was just showing a source saying no proof of that.

A lot of products have warnings just to avoid getting sued, 3DS is a case of that. But we've essentially gone through the entire life of 3DS and still no evidence.

...yet. 5 years isn't very long to gather incidental data from thousands of kids and analyse short term / long term effects, check against control groups, different age groups etc. There's years of work needed to scientifically prove something one way or the other, and that's assuming that any work is going on to find proof at all.

Unless by 'no evidence' you mean a lack of sensational headlines such as 'Child struck blind by playing with the 3D slider up'.

If millions of people playing 3DS for much of your childhood hasn't shown some affects, then its probably harmless. Kids today in general are constantly looking at screens.

I also found it odd Kinect gave warnings about playing for long periods. Maybe they were concenred fat people were gonna have heart attacks.
