Original Note:
This is a meme, but many people are misinterpreting this as fact. The physical distance to the screen is not what affects the eyes, but the focal distance. VR displays are no worse than any other screen at a reasonable distance because you’re focusing further away. https://www.thetechedvocate.org/is-vr-bad-for-your-eyes/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most,tablet%2C%20or%20computer.
