Vision affected by 3D cinema?

I went to see a 3D movie at the cinema a few weeks ago. Now I feel something is different with my vision.
Is it possible that the movie has affected my vision in any way, even just slightly?
I did not feel any discomfort during the screening, no headaches.
I'm 39, I am nearsighted, have -1 on one eye. I wore my glasses under the 3D glasses which were of high quality.
My vision is still sharp and clear, but something just feels off, partcularly when watching TV etc.
I'm quite an obsessive person, a worrier. The thought of having done something that could have
impacted my vision is quite unbearable.  Or could it be something else completely unrelated to the movie?

I do not believe that the movie in any way hurt your vision, or will cause a long-term problem.  I would suggest a complete evaluation with an ophthalmologist to discover the cause of your symptoms.
