A 21-year-old Chinese woman went blind in one eye after a particularly long video game session.

The woman, from the southern Guangdong Province, played “Honour of Kings” for 24 hours straight. She spent her entire Sunday, starting in the morning of Oct. 1, playing the game. In the evening she suddenly couldn’t see out of one eye.
