My eyes have been playing tricks on me lately. Lately when my eyes are focused on something (primarily a 2D image or screen such as TV, pc monitor, everyday text, etc.) things are 'appearing' 3D when they're not. I don't know if it's my brain looking for 3D images when there are none after playing the 3DS or if my eyes are focusing differently than prior to owning the 3DS and playing regularly with a minimum of half 3D turned on.

This post may sound silly but it is a legitimate problem I have been having since I got a 3DS about a week ago.

How long after you first got the 3ds did the 3D effects fade away from everything?

Don't worry there isn't anything wrong with your eyes. I think the screen just confuses your brain a little bit and after you're done playing it still tries to interpret things the same way it does for the screen, leading you to seeing things in 3D. It will stop eventually.

Oh man, thanks to everyone for the info! I was stressing out a little and have been a tad bit afraid to play my 3DS since I was beginning to believe my eyesight could be permanently compromised.

Thanks again guys! :D

I got this too, but it soon settleed down. Try not using 3D effect for a while.

Haha, I remember this. Quite a few people I spoke to about this had the same problem. Especially with black text on a white background. It does fade away after time. Maybe 2 weeks or so.

Same here. The 3DS had my eyes like that for about a week.
