Given the logical concern of parents who consider giving a console to children, fearing that it may harm them, I have found that the American Optometric Association believes that the use of the new Nintendo 3D-S could even be beneficial for children's eyesight.
Nintendo indicates that it is not advisable to buy 3D-S for children under six years of age as a precaution, since, while their visual acuity is still developing, exposing them to technological images could cause some problem.
However, the American Optometric Association points out that, used in moderation, it does not pose a danger in itself and that, even using technology of this type you can reach diagnoses that the usual tests do not get, since it is the best way to analyze the functioning of both eyes at the same time and in movement.
Discarding problems in the joint functioning of both eyes would help avoid school problems due to reading difficulties, copying sentences and understanding. And precisely that a child has a hard time seeing a 3D-S screen could give a hint of these difficulties before they affect their school life.
Of course, despite indicating that in some cases the Nintendo 3D-S could be beneficial for children It is recommended that it be used sparingly and that, in case of any dizziness or headache problem, see a specialist.
