Answer
Over long periods of game play, your eyes can become fatigued causing minor pain in the muscles around the eyes.

Eye fatigue can be prevented by taking breaks periodically. Looking out a window at something distant regularly has been the best way in my own personal experience.


It would not do damage to your eyes if played for less than 45 minutes.

Playing Video Games won't make you lose your eyesight anymore than if you watch TV for the same amount of time. The only danger you have of losing your eyesight from playing video games or watching TV would be if you sat less that 2ft away from the TV at all times while you're playing, that would damage your eyes. I've been playing video games ever since I was 3 years old and i still have 20/20 vision just make sure to take a 10 minute break between every hour of play time. Hope this helps :D but thear alot more stuff that it would like glases it will

it really depends on how close your are to the tv screen. if your face is right up against the tv then you are way to close and you could go blind in a couple of days. a good distince is maybe your height or arm length from the screen to wherever.

Constant play of video games can affect your eyesight if you don't take the necessary precautions. Take breaks of 30 minutes between every 3 hours of gameplay. Do not sit close to the TV as the bright light can affect your eyesight.

Actually, it IS the light generated by the screen that affects your eyesight. I wear corrective lenses, and the eye doctor recommends an exam/update EVERY year if I work at a computer screen, every TWO years if I don't. The screen IS a light-source, so it is like looking directly at a lightbulb for exteneded periods of time.

Yes, it does, it stops your eyes focusing properly so you need glasses, take 15 minutes break after 1 hour on the computer to keep your eyes healthy!

Do playing video games on your TV ruin it?

Playing a video game with a console connected to the TV, such that the game appears on the screen, cannot damage the TV. Playing video games while actually sitting on your TV could indeed ruin it, as TVs are not intended to be used as seating. If you suspect someone has been sitting on your TV while playing games, you might want to ask them to stop doing that.
