Important Health Warning About Playing
Video Games
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 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 television screen.
• Use a smaller television 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
