| You might think playing video games for hours is lazy but recent studies show that playing video games could actually improve eyesight for people who have a lazy eye. Researchers from the School of Optometry and the Neuroscience Institute at UC Berkeley observed 20 participants playing both violent and non-violent video games while wearing an eye patch. These researchers saw a 30% increase in visual acuity and a 50% improvement in 3D depth perception. Other research has shown that action video games can sharpen eyesight, so consider gift wrapping a few of these diversions and putting them under the Christmas tree! |
