"Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information" says Bavelier at Rochester U. "These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it. That learning carries over into other activities and possibly

Good isn't it? I do not know how much they really improve our vision but some studies say that it improves by about 20%.

Whenever I play action video games I do not bother about the side-effects for eyesight. I just used to play for fun. Now it seems like there is no reason to bother. May be don't play for hours. Take gaps in between to help your body relax and avoid ergonomic problems.
