There is no evidence that links computer games and reduced eyesight.

Sitting to close to the screen, using a screen that is too big or small, not taking breaks from using a display screen or otherwise using the screenimproperlycan cause damage to eyesight.


Although, this can occur without actually playing computer games.


To prevent possible damage to eyesight, follow these dot points.


  • Sitfurthest away from the screen as comfortable.
  • Use a screen that is not too big or small so that reading text or viewing images on the screen iscomfortable and not difficult.
  • Take breaks of ten (ten) to fifteen (15) minutes away from the screen every one (1) hour.
  • Take micro-breaks for several seconds from the screen every fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes.
  • Stop using a display screen if you feeluncomfortableviewingthe screen, or looking at the screen cause pain like headaches. If this continues, consult a doctor.

How does the computer damage your eyesight?

I think because looking at it strains your eyes and because the screen usually has a bright white background, especially when there is poor lighting the light causes your pupils to contract (get smaller). It's like when you look at the sun your pupils go smaller to prevent permanent damage. Hope this helped?
