3D Danger

If your kid got a 3D game for Christmas – it could hurt their eyes...

3D games are all the rage – but for kids under 6 – it could be a problem for their eyes. The major gaming manufacturers have posted some warnings about 3D games on their websites and packaging – noting that 3D content delivers different images to the left and right eyes – and could cause eye strain or nausea with extended use. Since kids under the age of 6 are still considered to be in the developmental stage of vision – Nintendo suggests using the games in 2D mode for them – and that all users take gaming breaks every 30 minutes.
