The 3DS Is Good For Your Eyes

About everyone knows how a few news sources were reporting on how the 3DS causes eye strains and how Nintendo said that children at the ages of 6 and under shouldn't be viewing the 3D on the 3DS. But according to the actual professionals, the 3DS can act as an eye trainer, develooping the un-used muscles in your eye and can also alert you on vision problems that may be building up. So its up to you to believe the specialists who work in vision therapy and eyesight treatment, or the over precautious Nintendo who is trying to avoid lawsuits.

I squinted (only used 1 eye at a time) and had to use glasses when I was a kid. This happens sometimes nowadays too (mostly when I'm really tired), and since you can't see 3D with only one eye, I will know immediately if I squint when I play the 3DS, and thus be able to correct it. So yeah. For me the 3DS will help.

All crap

The real doctors say that's not true and have no idea how they're even coming to that conclusion

Just to point out to everyone

Optometrists = Ones who are making this claim (are not real doctors and don't know anything about medicine and the workings of the eye, don't have to go to school to learn the eye)

Ophthalmologists = Real doctors who are saying that all this is crap (who go to school to become a medical doctor and know the workings of the eye inside and out)

Just read the link throughly. How in the world did you conclude that the 3DS is good for your eyes? All the article said is that it could be used to identify vision problems in younger kids.forgot_it

Seriously?

Did you even read what you posted?

You have the title wrong, nowhere do the words "3DS is good for your eyes" appear in the article and the only people who say that this system could be used aren't doctors and have no business talking about the advantages or disadvantages of the system.

And do you know how muscle training works? When you work out your muscles to the right extent they get sore and they rip. Thats why they call it "getting ripped". And when they heal they grow back bigger and stronger. The muscles in your eyes are still muscles so its not an exception. When you work out your eye muscles, you're gonna feel strain just like when you work out your arm or leg muscles. So in the end 3D is working out your eye muscles which would potentially make your eyes stronger or have better sight, theoretically speaking. But at the same time there are certain ways you can work out muscles that won't even make them bigger or stronger, but they have no negative effects. This could be the case with eye muscles as well.

Like people said, I think that these eye warnings Nintendo put on the 3DS, I think it was just precautionary stuff. I think these warnings are on EVERY video game system somewhere in the manual. I think the misinterpretation just caught fire with the 3DS because 3D as a stigma attachted to it of people saying stuff about how it can ruin your eyes. I've tried it, and when you turn the 3D on full blast, look at it for a while, then look away, it might through you off balance for a second. It just takes getting used to. It's something new to your eyes.

As long as its clear, it's good for your eyes. I'll only say that the N64, PS1 era was "bad for your eyes". They were blurry as hell now when you look back at them. I don't think its an coincidence that I started to need glasses around then... lolol ;P

.... you are a total idiot dude.... lol exhampriory
