Jeez...talk about sensational, misleading information.

Take a close look at the following sentence:

"After just 30 hours, players showed a substantial increase in the spatial resolution of their vision, meaning they could see figures like those on an eye chart more clearly even when other symbols crowded in."

That's it...the ONLY scientifically part of the entire article. We don't have better long , medium or short range vision. All we're better at is seeing details within a crowded image. If anything, we train our mind to make up a mental image of something we perceive.
You might argue that 'vision' is more than what meets the eye, but I don't think so. Staring at the same distance for many hours without pause can't be good for you. Or have you (=the reader of this post) never felt that pain in your eyes when finally leaving a multi-hour gaming marathon?

I honestly thought I only read the introduction of the document when the article was (apparently) finished.

Actually Tale I've never had pains in my eyes, but I have had problems looking at text after a very long gaming session. If I focus my eyes on things for a while then look back, the problem disappears.

Besides vision improvement I have to say, from my own experience, UT2004 has increased my reaction time by a noticeable amount.

If i'm making a pbj for example and I drop my knife accidentally, I can usually catch it in mid air. I've noticed weird stuff like that.

wow....i found out that im way more active than normal. and my movement is way better then bfore...wich is extremley strange.cuz i dont move while playing.anyway i can focus better too.

I can now walldodge in real life! Plus, I can occasionally jump while in mid-air from my first jump. Thanks Epic!

It is scientifically proven that person playing video games (more so if they started as a child) can develop better reflex and the like. This apply to vision too. Sure, we talk about fast video games here, UT2004 obviously included.

I think it is all logic anyway. I personally have developped a better sense to decide quickly and to act quickly, on reflex or on my own decision. I am more "aware" of my surroundings than most of my friends (who do not play as much as I do). And with good concentration (not when I'm all relax), my reflex and precision seems much higher than before. I can also see things faster but not that much, compared to some guys I know.

This is many good side effects for me. However, my eyes suffered. No, never felt pain at all. Without my glasses, I can barely read anything 1 meter away from me (I can distinguish things and identify people from a nice distance too) but sometimes it get hard from far away. Sure, with my glasses its all fine.

But hey, this problem can be solved with eyes operation. Video games aren't that bad after all :P
