SAFETY INFORMATION
ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in computer games. Even
people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that
can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: light headedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion
or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or
convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms – children and
teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting further from your
monitor, using a smaller monitor, playing in a well-lit room and not playing when you are
drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
