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 screen; use a smaller 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.
