Yes and no, it depends on what it is and what you are doing.
Focusing on close objects like displays and even books for long periods of time can cause you to lose sharpness in your eyes against far reaching objects. Hence why corrective eye glasses were often associated with those who spent a lot of time reading or studying in universities.
However, VR and especially AR glasses project the image at a certain focal length that makes the object appear further away, causing your eyes to contract accordingly like you were actually focusing on a real object 10 feet away.
That being said, 10 feet only gives you the same effect as sitting far from the TV. They really should try bumping it to 50-100 feet so that it really shows up like a giant projector screen in the distance.
Conversely, you should spend time touching grass and looking into the distance at infinity so that your eyes keep their dynamic range of focus, especially if you spend all day working on a PC monitor that’s probably less than a yard/meter from your face/
Isn’t there something about your eyes focusing further away stereoscopically, but individually they are focusing closer? Like a single lense doing a macro focus on an up close image, rather than two cameras adjusting their angle to make their images line up for an object far away.
There’s a word for this but I can’t think of it right now.
Anywho, I thought focusing up close was still bad for your eyes in the long term?
