Vision after playing video games, PlayStation Posted: 05-17-07 02:26am
I have a Playstation2 in my room. When it
is switched off it displays a small red
light. At night, when I look at the light,
I see sparks of white light all around it,
flashing, kind of darting really. Whats
wrong?
If you spend hours using the PlayStation,
at some time or another you may feel the
following effects on your vision :eye
strain, headache, blurry vision or fatigue
are all possible effects of PlayStation
use. Some of the steps you can take to
help relieve the strain on your vision
might be to: purchase anti-glare screens
that can reduce eye strain, take frequent
breaks to help rest the eyes, practice eye
exercises that help strengthen the eyes
and reducing blurry vision, take
multivitamins and mineral supplements to
ensure that your eyes get the nutrients
they need. Additionally, you might visit
an ophthalmologist for control tests and
to monitor your vision.
