I Have Always Read That Playing Games On Your Telephone For Too Long,

can sometimes damage your eyes,

but playing this one could save your eyesight! data shows that glaucoma is the number one cause of blindness in Japan. It is estimated that about 4.65 million people in Japan suffer from glaucoma, but about 90% of them do not go to the hospital until it is much too late, and that’s a big problem, not only in Japan, but in any country, because when detected in the early stages glaucoma can be managed with medication, and blindness can be prevented, scientists at Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine teamed up with Japanese television company Sendai Broadcasting Co., Ltd. to create a special video game that they say can help improve users’ vision, by playing the game METEOR BLASTER, it can detect early symptoms of glaucoma and thus help prevent potential blindness, and all you need to do is play it for at least five minutes,

“It’s said that playing video games makes your eyes worse, but we reversed the idea and worked on developing a game for eye health,” a person in charge of Sendai Broadcasting’s New Business Division told Sankei News, as its name suggests, METEOR BLASTER is a space shooter where the goal is to blast incoming meteors while collecting powerups in the form of white light orbs. You need to keep your phone at a distance of 30 centimetres from your eyes, and try to blast as many meteors as possible, after playing through four stages, and a total of 16 sections, the game will assign a score from one to five to your performance, one is a perfect score, but experts advise those who score a four or five to have their eyes checked for glaucoma, what a neat way to test for glaucoma, I will ask Diana to download it for me when she returns from work.
