Well, for traditional 3D glasses, with the red lens and the blue lens, they never worked for me.
I have very damaged eyesight, so I have high perscription glasses. I don't know if that has an effect, or my astigmatism, like the image isn't focused just so on the retina, but I have never noticed a difference with old-school 3D. But IMAX sounds more CG-based rather than optical, so it seems more likely to be successful.
