Playing "Gears of War," "Lost Planet," "Halo ()" and other action video games that involve firing guns can improve your eyesight, new research claims.
Sedate games like "Tetris" don't work.
People who started out as non-gamers and then received 30 hours of training on first-person action video games showed a substantial increase in their ability to see objects accurately in a cluttered space, compared to non-gamers given the same test, said Daphne Bevelier of the University of Rochester.
Most aspects of vision have to do with the size of one's eye and the thickness and shape of the cornea and lens. But some visual defects are neural in nature, said Bevelier, author of the new study on vision and video games published in the journal Psychological Science.
First-person action games helped study subjects improve their spatial resolution, meaning their ability to clearly see small, closely packed together objects, such as letters, she said. Game-playing actually changes the way our brains process visual information.
"These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it," she said, in a prepared statement. "That learning carries over into other activities and possibly everyday life."
The finding suggests that playing first-person action video games could be a useful rehabilitation therapy for people with certain vision problems, she said, such as amblyopia (or lazy eye) and the simple effects of aging.
Another study has showed that playing certain virtual reality games that involved physical motion helped stroke victims improve their ability to walk eventually.
Video Games are great for people who want to be Surgeons, Kudos bro.
Suck it all you parents interest groups
Pray:
Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.

Heavy more lost planet 4 me...or maybe not my 36is givin me probz.
Our preperation continued, with our efforts and the efforts of our brothers, for years and years. Through out that time we gathered, observed and waited until the moment to move arrived.
Jazakallah for sharing the profits of playing game bro. Allah was not created everything with no purpose. But still, in my opinion a game can pull us into an addiction, which can make us lost ourselves about worldly things.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Like most things, playing those video games has its positive sides but also negative ones. For example addiction which leads to leaving studies, wasting precious time, etc.

True leaders don't create followers...
.... They create new leaders.
don't tell that to my 4 year old son. (my hubby already bough him a gameboy )
they should re-study.
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
Well, actually it completely depends on how seriously you take the game. If you become so involved that your character's life becomes your own life in your mind, then your brain will adapt to make sure you (your character) survives.
Then again, there are better ways to improve your eyesight (as well as other things): If you do a physical activity such as martial arts or juggling or whatever, then your eye sight will improve further as well as at a further rate.
I'm no expert, but I'm just speaking from my personal experiences.
