SchlimpyChicken writes "Turns out 3D television can be inherently dangerous to developing children, and perhaps to adults as well. There's a malaise in children that can prevent full stereopsis (depth perception) from developing, called strabismus or lazy-eye. It is an abnormal alignment of the eyes in which the eyes do not focus on the same object — kind of like when you watch a 3D movie. As a result, depth perception is compromised.

Obviously there's a Realtor slant to the blog (they want you to move there), but it is fascinating to learn more about this "forgotten" borough of New York City. SIBOR is hoping that Staten Island residents (islanders, really) and others familiar with the ...
