Bold Claim: Nintendo 3DS Are Good For Kids?

One of my gamer friends showed me this article to convince me that video games have more benefits than people think! Really? I personally question the true intentions behind these "US optometrists" that gave this recommendation.

To sum it up, the claim here is that the new Nintendo's 3DS can help detect eye problems in young kids at an early stage. 
An earlier report that had the upcoming Nintendo 3DS gaming console's screen bad for the eyes of users, especially those of children under six, is being discounted by US optometrists. USAToday reported on Friday that manufacturer's warnings don't need to be followed for undeveloped vision of the young kids. Eye specialists suggested the just the opposite and condoned the use of the game consoles by that age group, as it could help parents catch vision disorders early.
"The 3DS could be a godsend for identifying kids under six who need vision therapy," said Michael Duenas, associate director for health sciences and policy for the American Optometric Association.
 If you were a parent, would this article convince you to let your kids play video games?
