B-B-BUT VR IS THE F-FUTURE!

Lab rats

Thanks for beta testing VR bros

>Ceri Smith-Jaynes, from the Association of Optometrists, told the BBC: "We currently do not have any reliable evidence that VR headsets cause permanent deterioration in eyesight in children or adults. There have been some studies looking into the effects of short-term use of VR headsets only; these did not reveal a deterioration in eyesight.

its nothing, go home

Wow, what a shocking development, I'm sure no one would have predicted this.

>short-term use of VR headsets only
VR fags on suicide watch

>vr is not a gimmick

>it damages eyesight
>but we don't have evidence it damages eye sight
Why is the Big Black Cock news like this?

How the fuck does VR damage eyesight when using it means your eyes actually focus back and forth between different focal lengths as opposes to being locked to one distance when using a normal screen?
The light emitted by LCD and OLED panels is suddenly harmful because it's not crossing enough empty space between you and your eyes?

>it's fucking nothing
Watch every poorfag shit over himself anyway because they fall for baby's first clickbait.

Turns out sitting THAT close is bad afterall

Wow. What we already knew and the reason they say not for children!

> wear screens 1 inch from your face for 40 hours a week, possibly more
> eyesight gradually gets worse
wow what a shocking revelation

Modern screens don't actually emit X-rays anymore, user.

lol, see

>play games 24 hours a day every day
>develop autism and mad vidya skills

>play VR games 1 hour a day
>become blind

VR is a meme

mutt's law

Tell that to the guy that apparently aged his eyesight 20 years

Who?

"Don't sit too close to the TV" Moms vindicated

>Using lenses to focus on a tiny screen that close to your eyes
I wouldn't be surprised

You don't stay completely stationary when you are staring at a screen.

time itself damage eyesight, what a dumb study

But you don't actually focus your eyes on the tiny screens.
That's the entire point of VR.

>literally the exact opposite of what the headline says

how the fuck is this legal

>short term

I think you might need to check your eye sight because they've not studied long term use of VR.

Don't the headsets bend the light in such a way that it's as if it is a few meters away?

Staring at a monitor for hours a day does the same thing.

>haha VR fags BTFO, they arent healthy gamer like me!!

>no evidence for long term damage
>no evidence for short-term damage
It is literally nothing

People have been using these for over 7 years now, how much longer term do medical researchers need?
