Playing video games may improve eyesight

In the news:

"People who used a video-game training program saw improvements in their contrast sensitivity, or the ability to notice subtle differences in shades of gray, according to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. The training could be beneficial to people who have amblyopia--commonly known as lazy eye--and those who have trouble seeing while driving at night, the study said."

Well, I play a crap load of video games and I can't see the big E on the chart without corrective wear, so it didn't help me any, lol

 

I don't know about improving eyesight, but i can see how it could improve had eye coordination

 

Oh, it definitely does that. And I think it improves problem solving as well.

 

It might do that but overall its bad for the eyes.

 

Well, i never knew about it.

May be its true. But i don't really much video games as i don't get time.

 

I don't believe this, my eyes got crappier from video games

 

It’s true may be. I used to pass lot of time playing computer games, though right now, I’m not that person anymore. I’ve no problem to see at night even with the few dim street lamps. I’m able to drive at night without headlights .

 

Aha, so, I get a new reason to play games.

 

I don't agree with that.. Gaming ruined my eyesight
