Gaming affecting your eyesight?

[ZONG_one]

I have amblyopia and the eye doctor told that playing video games would actually improve my vision.

And your hand-eye coordination.

I would think it has plenty to do with many different factors ; How long you play, the brightness , how close you are to the screen, how often you blink, how often you actually take a break, is the room well lit, etc. Just a few I could come up with.

I don't play loads but i never take breaks... My mom used to say to me every 15 mins I had to go look out into the distance for 30 secs lol....

Can't really tell if its effected them tbh

I dunno what my vision is, but i was told my eyes are sensitive to light, which wasn't natural. Sid to be from watching a lot of TV/games. of course i have no idea

I dunno, my eyesight's getting worse in one eye.

I need a monocle. D:

lol.

Also I'm pertty sure it has a lot to do with a lot of factors as well. I always have had a tendency to over focus my eyes, to the point where I have vivid memories of singling out individual pixels in games like starcraft, unreal tournament and command and conquer. I'm pretty sure that was bad for my eyes.
