There've been loads of articles and posts claiming that watching a 3D film is a nauseating or headache-inducing experience. Truth be told, I've never watched a full-length 3D film but this article by respected Hollywood film editor and sound designer Walter Murch might go some way to explaining the 'limitations' and 'confusion'.The 3D image is dark, as you mentioned (about a camera stop darker) and small. Somehow the glasses "gather in" the image -- even on a huge Imax screen -- and make it seem half the scope of the same image when looked at without the glasses.
The biggest problem with 3D, though, is the "convergence/focus" issue. A couple of the other issues -- darkness and "smallness" -- are at least theoretically solvable. But the deeper problem is that the audience must focus their eyes at the plane of the screen -- say it is 80 feet away.
This is constant no matter what.
But their eyes must converge at perhaps 10 feet away, then 60 feet, then 120 feet, and so on, depending on what the illusion is. So 3D films require us to focus at one distance and converge at another. And 600 million years of evolution has never presented this problem before. All living things with eyes have always focussed and converged at the same point. [source ROGER EBERT]

It sounds more like it will evolve it to a new skill than "hurt" it.
For example many people use one hand to write with and have one dominate lobe, but children born with the ability to write with BOTH hands actually have lobes which are fused and both lobes are more active.
So if we teach those children who do not write with both hands it would aid them. It may seem hard at first and maybe cramp their hand and even possibly give them a head ache, but they will master it and grow.
The important part is there must be rest. The seventh pulse needs to be rest. In other words push and push yourself, but then you must rest for a period. It is when you allow you brain to rest it can then grow & fuse.
I feel the same for this. Shifting perspectives... is KEY to the convergence we are expereincing now. I feel that the One consciousness brought this certain matrix of experience into focus to ready the mind to be able to see from ALL perspectives and yet still see one harmonic expression or Divine purpose.
It is an archetype, as all things are... for what the one consicousness is preparing us for
