Tell me about it! Although a 20% increase seems a bit dramatic. I think the study is a little wrong because gaming more likely makes people "more observant" as opposed to developing "better eyesight."
What I mean is that in shooters, you need to pay more attention to things. Like in FEAR, where its really dark, you gotta check every corner and look for tiny glowing syringes and ammo and guns and whatnot. So while someone who has trouble reading 8 point font might still have trouble reading, I definately think they could notice smaller things, such as a bird in the distance or a plane a few miles away.
