Flash Focus -Improve Your Eyesight With Your Nintendo DS

by Heather McLaughlin

Need to improve your eyesight? Well if you have a Nintendo DS, you can do just that with an upcoming game called Flash Focus. This game can help improve your vision in just minutes a day.

Here are all the things you can do playing this game:

* Boost Your Focus Power - Train with quick, fun activities based on vision-training programs used by top athletes.
* Put eyes to real-world tests - Take a swing at a speeding pitch, outmaneuver incoming linebackers and strike the soccer ball into the goal in fun, sports-based training activities.
* Pick up and play every day - Users complete daily training activities to challenge Hand-Eye Coordination, Peripheral Vision, Dynamic Visual Acuity, Momentary Vision and Eye Movement, then track their results with a calendar and easy-to-understand charts.
* Symbol Order - Three symbols flash on the screen in any of the 12 boxes. One symbol appears at a time for only a split second. The challenge is to remember each symbol and then enter all three symbols in the order in which they appeared.
* Box Tap - Furiously tap a series of moving red boxes before they disappear. The more users successfully tap, the higher the score.

If nothing else it sounds like a fun little way to give your eye muscles a work out! Flash Focus will be available on October 15, 2007 for $19.99.
