I bet you I already knew that. Seriously though, I did know that. I also heard on the news once that games help develop the part of the brain that uses multiple languages.

 

[AdmiralVonBentebent]

I knew.
But it is a interesting fact.

Can't stop playing now. Training eyes.

That can't be true. I've been gaming all my life and I'm still barely passing my French class...

i can use this as an argument to argue with my father about me playing to much computer

 

[Allster]

I thought staring at a screen for hours made your sight worse...
What lol :confused1:

 

[Vandall]

I think it's a bit more active than just "staring" allster.

Thanks for posting this though.

Since I started playing games my eyesight has degenerated a lot. I know have vision problems and will probably be partially blind in 10 years.

not from playing games, I think I have some kind of eye disease.

 

[FreakingHell]

I had 20/20 2-3 years ago.

Since I started PC gaming, my eyesight has dropped to 20/50. And I'm only 15 so I don't think it's because I'm getting old.

Yeah i think this study is for people who don't spend 10 hours a day in front of the computer.

The thing is they may be a couple yards from the tv. being close to a monitor hurts your vision in the long run as you are causing your focal length of your eye to be less than a couple feet from you and your eye starts to stiffen into being near sighted (or w/e being able to only see up close is).

 

[Kayteen]

Your right! I didnt know! lol

 

[imitation]

Sitting down for 6 hours at a time to play video games can also cause circulation to decrease in your legs, causing fatigue and dizziness. Also, sitting that close to a screen makes you better at nearsighted objects not farsighted, it trains your eyes to see things that are close.
