Study: Video games are good for eyes
By
Video game addicts, rejoice: U.S. researchers have found that playing is actually good for your eyes, and despite all those dire warnings from your parents, it won’t make you blind. A study by the University of Rochester showed that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their vision by about 20 percent.
“Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information,” Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences, said in the study published on the university’s Web site on Tuesday. “These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it. That learning carries over into other activities and possibly everyday life.”
