Do Reusable 3D Glasses Need A Clean Up?

3D movie glasses make you feel like you can reach out and touch the action, but you may be making contact of a different kind when you wear them — with the germs of those who wore or handled the glasses before you.

Though most cinemas say the glasses are cleaned in between uses, Good Housekeeping tested glasses at seven theaters in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area and found that not one of them was sterile. So this was in the United States. Do you believe cinemas in your country clean them for the next use? I doubt it. And I heavily bet that they barely do get cleaned and if so, no cleaning materials are used to ensure that the 3d glasses are bacteria free.

The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested seven pairs of movie theater 3D glasses, both wrapped in plastic and unwrapped, and found a number of germs, including those causing conjunctivitis, skin infections, food poisoning, sepsis and pneumonia.

Perish the thought. One was even contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, the most common cause of staph infections. Ick! Now … if ever you want to try watching a movie using 3d glasses, doing it often can be a bad risk. Healthwise, I think you should consider and give it some thought. Eyesight is very important.

The Samsung 3D TV

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine.

Technology has made it possible for anybody to watch movies in 3d right in the comfort of their home. 3d TVs are now starting to take the 3d revolution world by storm. This plasma TV has an inbuilt 3D TV effect to make content viewing much more interesting and exciting.

Of course you would still need to wear 3D glasses in order to view 3d movies but really, anyone who had watched a movie in 3d in theaters would definitely agree 3d really makes a movie even better. Samsung’s

It is the world’s first 3d LED Tv bringing a new dimension to 3d. Boasting of being the thinnest TV, the design is just awfully marvelous! Attractive looks, a very slim profile, displaying great picture quality, what more can you ask for? In my book, this appliance is a good deal for me.

Another thing that I like is the number of video connection ports which can really come in handy and useful especially for home entertainment systems.

To see is to believe right? Check out the short video below about Samsung’s new 3d TV. It is an awesome clip! Enough to make you drool and say “I WANT THAT!”

Warnings On 3D TV

Woh, so it seems 3D TV is not for everybody. Samsung issued warnings that people who are pregnant, drunk or who are insomniacs should not watch 3-D television because of potential health issues.

The company also says people at risk for stroke or epileptic seizures should consult a medical professional before watching TV in three dimensions. So peeps, if you fall into any of these, avoid 3D TV for now. They won’t go away anyway. Your health is much more important.

There may also be other side effects when watching 3D TV. Viewing 3D television may also cause motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain and decreased postural stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.

I did watch my first 3D movie in Avatar and I must say the 3D glasses I wore that time made me feel comfortable unlike the 3D experiences that I had wherein the images were sometimes blurry. I hope the 3D TV experience will be the same as the one I experienced in the movies.
