Can too much video games hurt our eyesight?

Video games and eyes: Not likely, but too much time spent on video games can hurt the normal development of a child with relationships to others and the outside world.

No: Eyes might get fatigued, feel dry or irritated/look red; a lot of near work at a young age could induce myopia.
