Comments on: Skip the eye doctor and just play 'Call of Duty'

Study shows that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their vision.

Vision? More like reflexes.

I think the reason my eye sight got really bad throughout the years is cause I spent my entire childhood playing video games. But this is the same for people that watch a lot of TV. So maybe with today's LCD and Plasma screens, that are a lot more "friendly" to our eyes, I guess newer generation of gamers won't have to worry about TV radiation to burn their vision away with too much gaming.

But... I do have to admit, my reflexes are pretty good. And I'm sure that video games played an important role in that too. But this isn't about reflexes, it's about eye-sight, so I won't write too much.

Anyways, do yourself a favor and buy a good TV if you consider using video games to help your eye sight!

This study isnt about that

I get what you are saying, but this study didnt do anything to test reflexes, it tested spatial perception. I'm sure that monitors and screens arent amazing for our eyes, but i guess thats why they say "a few hours a day" over and over again. And hey, also improving your reflexes cant be a bad thing. Probably the biggest problem is what im doing right now, sitting in front of my monitor in the dark.
