Can playing video games make you blind?

Blind
Looks like video games as well as masturbation can make you blind. Ok maybe not the latter, but video games can make your eyes tired according to doctors.

According to the Minnesota Optometric Association, hardcore gamers are at heightened risk for Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a condition marked by a variety of symptoms including “eye irritation, dry eyes, headaches, pain in the eyes or surrounding facial muscles, squinting, excessive blinking, increased sensitivity to light and difficulty focusing.”

My eyes get tired form playing video games but typically its because I have stayed up way too late playing games.

Alas, CVS is caused by strain from constant eye movements, often due to long hours in front of a monitor or television screen. By way of lengthy gaming sessions, gamers in particular are susceptible to developing problems, but non-gamers should also be wary of how long they watch. A survey by the American Optometric Association found that 82 percent of Americans frequently work at a computer and that 41 percent of its respondents have suffered from eyestrain.

Interesting statistics that 82% of Americans are behind a screen and of that half of them suffer from eyestrain. I never used glasses until I started using the computer hardcore, now I cant see road signs, I think I should sue Microsoft!

    “What if you masturbate while playing video games?” It wouldn’t be a problem since you don’t go out much LOL!

    I have to admit I have all those symptoms listed and I started wearing glasses since last year, now I wear them occasionally when I don’t use contacts, but it’s from pulling WAY too many all nighters playing games.
