Bad Eyesight
Is playing a video game for a few hours bad for your eyesight? Or watching television for a few hours or playing on the computer? I think it is but how much damage does it do to your eye?

everyone's eyes are different, so the damage will effect everyone differently, but it will definitely do some damage if you play video games, watch television, or go on the computer. it also depends on how much you do it. before i started using the computer a lot i had 20/20 vision. now a year later i cannot see without my contacts or glasses. i regret not listening to my mom, haha. hope i helped<3

My vision has gone down quite a bit since i spend so much time on the computer, the basic rule to protect your eyesight is the 20/20/20 rule. for every 20 minutes on the computer, focus on something at least 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds.

If you're constantly on the computer, especially sitting really close to it, your eyesight will be affected. Same thing with the TV. It won't blind you or anything, it just causes mild shortsightedness.
Spending a few hours playing a video game won't have any long term effects. But if you spend hours playing video games every single day, then yeah, maybe.
