There has been a pretty strong debate going on concerning the Nintendo 3DS as well as its ability to affect one’s eyesight – for the better or worse, that rages on. We do know, however, that eye specialists in the US do welcome the Nintendo 3DS as they have already dismissed the manufacturer’s (that’s Nintendo) warnings that its 3D screen shouldn’t be used by children who are younger than 7 years old because it might affect their immature vision. Instead, optometrists in that part of the world tell kids to try the 3D screen (we wonder if they have some Nintendo stock in their portfolio) as it will help catch vision disorders earlier to make fixing those easier. We can see the “win-win” situation here – kids find problems in their vision, and they will need to go to eye specialists to get them fixed. But what if those problems are caused due to disobeying Nintendo’s warning in the first place? Now that’s certainly food for thought. What do you think?
