I`m nearsighted in one eye, but not in the other, so I tend to use one eye more than the other.

My husband, on the other hand, feels some sense of "unease" as he puts it when the 3D is on it`s highest setting. He always sets it at about 50% and is comfortable with it there.

My only complaint would be that there is some kind of stress with very fast moving objects on the screen. I don`t think that is so much because of the 3D itself, but because of the interlace effect used to split the screen between eyes.
Thanks for the information, Nyororin. It's useful to know. I'm still a little sceptical on safety, but mainly because most people I know tend to play for a long time, i.e. several hours. I know that can give eye strain at the best of times, but when in 3D? It's good to know that it's safe for a casual gamer though, but I still worry for those who use it more heavily.
