I was fine. I did have a headache by the end, but nothing horrible. I chalk that up to wearing glasses and then having to put the 3D glasses on top and constantly adjusting them. I primarily wear glasses, but do have some disposable contacts I occasionally wear. It didn't even occur to me until we got there and they handed me the 3D glasses. Lesson learned!

Old thread, but I just discovered it and thought I'd comment as I was curious how flashy Tron 3D would be.
I had a small seizure from the strobes during my EEG. However I've since seen Avatar and Alice in Wonderland 3D and been fine. I didn't pay attention to any funny feeling and didn't even realize at the time that there was a concern over 3D causing seizures.
I'm going to see Tron 3D tonight and we'll see how it goes.
