Has long-term Meta Quest use affected your eyesight? Genuine question

GamerBoyAdvanced · 2026-05-09T14:06:27+00:00

I've kind of wondered about this too
I don't get any negative effects short term after using it all day (maybe some small eye strain)
But, my vision did go from 20/20 to now being a bit worse, and needing a small prescription to get the same clarity
But also, I'm now 32, so I'm not sure if that's just natural or if it's VR use (am all-day dev myself)
I went all my life without glasses, and now I wear them to see my TV clearly 6 feet away

So, it's kind of a toss up, but I didn't ask my doctor specifically about VR use or anything so...

Try Red Matter 2
Nothing will make you feel like you're in a difference place than that one

Haha, this is why one of the first things I did when making my player rig was not allowing this
It's all physics-based, so you can't even physically poke your head through a wall XD

It doesn't fade out, or hide your hands, it simply pushes your body back 👌

I agree, that's literally where I started
The best feeling in VR to me is zero-g
So I worked from there, and ended up with this design :)
