A 21-year-old Chinese woman has been rendered partially blind after playing video games on her smartphone for 24 hours, according to media reports.
The unnamed gaming addict was reportedly playing the multiplayer online game “Honour of Kings” when she suddenly lost vision in her right eye, the South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday.
She was taken to the hospital and was diagnosed with Retinal Artery Occlusion (RAO). It was caused by eye strain from looking at the screen for too long, the doctors said.
