Corrections to scaling in the 3D Ising model are studied based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation results for very large lattices with linear lattice sizes up to L=3456. Our estimated values of the correction-to-scaling exponent omega tend to decrease below the usually accepted value about 0.83 when the smallest lattice sizes are discarded from the fits. This behavior apparently confirms some of the known estimates of the Monte Carlo renormalization group (MCRG) method, i.e., omega about 0.7 and omega = 0.75(5). We discuss the possibilities that omega is either really smaller than usually expected or these values of omega describe some transient behavior. We propose refining MCRG simulations and analysis to resolve this issue. In distinction from omega, our actual MC estimations of the critical exponents eta and nu provide stable values eta=0.03632(13) and nu=0.63017(31), which well agree with those of the conformal bootstrap method, i.e., eta=0.0362978(20) and nu=0.6299709(40).
