And all these years they were telling us the opposite.

This is new to me, my sights gotten worse ever since we bought a PSX.

I think it depends on what you mean by better vision.

I think video games help with your response time, your eyes ability to pick up smaller details as your always searching in video games for tiny clues or targets.

I think however that prolonged play in the dark and up close can damage your eyes tho, especially over long periods of time.

In good lighting tho at a reasonable distance I don't think it hurts your eyes more than reading a book or staring at anything for the same time period. I think all of the "it'll make you go blind" crap was started as a way to scare children from playing too much at a time.

I guess I could too if it werent for the fact that I have to wear contacts/glasses

I have glasses, but they aren't a huge necessity to wear.
I wear them when I am on the computer or on the road.
