Can playing video games damage your eye sight?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Maybe, if you dont Wear glasses unlike me that means you'll probably fine as long as you take frequent breaks when you have been playing 15 mins to an hour ( take a five to ten minute break )

People with lasses are fine just wear them :P haha bai

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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!

Answer 7

Recent studies show that some game types can actually make it better.

Answer 8

playing video games is not good to your eyes because you then will get blinded from the game if you play hours on end

Answer 9

yes because television makes your eyes strain from the Ultraviolet rays it emits which constantly damage your eye sight and excessive exposure lead to weakening of eye sight,
