Playing certain games hurts your eyes?
Have you ever played a game that made your eyes hurt? It pretty much started for me with Destiny, after a day I already noticed that my eyes were hurting and later I saw blood appear in my eyes. Which meant I had to take a break, wether I like it or not but if I would continue with the game as if nothing happened I think I would've seriously risked hurting my eyes.
What makes certain games hurt your eyes?
From what I learned and experienced it's usually first person shooters that cause this problem. Why first person shooters? It's usually because you're focused on the screen and hardly blink while playing, which causes a lot of stress and tension for your eyes and they start to hurt. The moment you feel this pain it's a good sign to take a break or quit playing that game, switch to a game that is more relaxing so your eyes can heal. This doesn't mean you can't play first person shooters, for example when I play Overwatch I have no issues at all, but some games just have this effect on you and you probably know best which games make your eyes hurt. So it's smart to take a break every now and then and not ignore the pain you feel, even if the game is so much fun to play you should be careful because you don't want to cause permanent damage!
Is everyone sensitive to this?
I'd say one person is more sensitive to it than another, so my issues with Destiny aren't the issues of everyone else. Which is a good thing because it really sucks when you have to stop playing a game you want to play because your eyes start to hurt. Of course just because your eyes hurt doesn't mean automaticly that this causes damage. Sometimes you're tired or you could just have a hair or something else in your eyes. But it doesn't hurt anyone to take it easy, which means don't spend ten hours on one day on a game that can be stressful for your eyes because that is almost asking for trouble. I also noticed that sometimes remastered games can also be hurtful for your eyes, it might just be the first person shooter issue that some people have but it's interesting how this affects me in some games and other games it doesn't. Unfortunately I'm not mister science so I couldn't really explain it but perhaps certain games just have more chaotic things happening on the screen which causes more stress for your eyes which can then lead to broken blood vessels in your eyes. If you do have issues with your eyes when playing certain games I can recommend playing games that aren't that difficult and are actually fun to play. You probably know which games work best for you and which games don't make your eyes hurt. So don't worry that you can't play games, it's usually just some games that have this negative effect on your eyes and you should be able to play other games just fine. If you do keep having issues with your eyes while playing games then I would definitely advice you to check in with your doctor and see if something can be done about that or maybe he or she has some better advice for you.
