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.
