Do video games hurt our eyes?

Answer by  basil (311)

Playing video games has not been associated or linked with any lasting deterioration in eyesight. Playing for long, uninterrupted periods of time may cause your eyes to feel tired or irritated. If this happens to you, just take a break from playing until your eyes no longer feel fatigued or irritated.

No video games themselves done hurt our eyes. The act of sitting to close to a monitor or tv can hurt our eyes. It is also reccomend that you not play for extended hours without a break. Some studies actually state that video games help to improve our hand/eye coordination.

The effect of video games on your eyes varies widely depending on the type and size screen and how close you sit to it. Sit back and take frequent breaks.

If you play for to many hours without any break yest your eyes can hurt but if you play with moderation and take some breakes you wont have a problem. When you play a game make sure you are in a comfortable position and the screen is at the right distance

Staring at any screen for too long a period can hurt your eyes. Whether it is a tv or a computer monitor. Hence why it is suggested that you play for a few hours, and then do something else for awhile that doesn't involve a screen, then play again.
