A member asked:

When ever i play video games at certain points my eyes kind of twitch and go to the back of my head for about half a second. is this a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It may be that you are playing video games too long at a time. That can cause trouble with your vision and headaches. Take a break from the games and see how you feel. If it continues to occur, see your doctor. It is unlikely to be a seizure disorder, but you may need to be checked.
