■ Safety information about video games
About photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have
an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures while
watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms
or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games should
watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more likely than
adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures
may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by not playing when you are
drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or
epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Play safely
Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing
immediately if you begin to feel tired of if you experience an unpleasant
sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a
doctor.
Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration on if you have any
ailment in the bones or joints of your fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.
