Action video games sharpen eyesight: U.S. study

- Adults who play a lot of action video games may be improving their eyesight, U.S. researchers said on Sunday.

They said people who used a video-game training program saw significant improvements in their ability to notice subtle differences in shades of gray, a finding that may help people who have trouble with night driving.

"Normally, improving contrast sensitivity means getting glasses or eye surgery -- somehow changing the optics of the eye," said Daphne Bavelier of the University of Rochester in New York, whose study appears in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

playing most games makes my driving much better... I can shoot over and through a roundabout, in the dark, flat, exiting at collosal speed, AND keep the Audi TT Quattro in my sites the whole time, leading a little so as to strafe his whole bodyshell with 45mm canon shells from my Yak 9 K.

Oh...

/blush

I said that aloud didn't I?

You did, but is perfectly acceptable.

After all, who doesn't want to kill TT drivers? ....well, the old ones at least
