I've heard of people complaining of this before. I think it's a vertigo-type reaction, not an eye condition. You might even want to check the back of your game manuals, I remember seeing health warnings in some games about how to reduce/mitigate this effect.
I've never had it myself so hadn't paid much attention, but I think some of the general points were: - play with your room lights on - sit back from the screen - take frequent breaks away from the computer Hope this helps some! -bryon "Jose J.
