IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a
seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including
ashinglightsorpatternsthatmayappearinvideo
games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “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. Parents should watch
for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive
epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions:
• Sit farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play 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.
