so in other words. people with lives and an excellent paying job bought an Oculus rift for shits and giggles and spent no more than 15 minutes using it per session.

>>330977895
no
mostly developers who use it several hours a day.

Are you expecting neckbeard eyes to burn out if they use them instead of pouting in the dark?

>Staring at a screen can cause blindness
HOLY SHIT

TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING COMPUTER OP

NOW

IT'LL SAVE YOUR EYESIGHT

I'm about 2-3 feet away from my computer screen. and I regularly look away.

We're talking about holding your phone/computer screen like 5 inches away from your eye balls and never having the option to look away other than closing your eyes.

>This stupid claim again.

Is this your first VR thread, OP? Because each one has had this discussion and I'm wondering if people are just saying it to troll now.

You must be a scientist. Please share your knowledge of nothing.

You realize that modern computer screens don't have that problem anymore right? The reason why they said not to look too closely at monitors was because old monitors were CRTs, which basically work like particle accelerators pushing electrons towards the screen.

Nowadays you can sit as close to a screen as you want without any ill effects.

Silly OP porn won't make you blind.

ITT: People trying to justify their $500 purchase

Just wait till you all have eye problems and need to go to the eye doctor. Don't say OP didn't tell you so.

The focus distance is a few feet away, same as a monitor.

>5 inches away from your eye balls is a few feet away because it's 'focus distance'!11!11!!!!!

Damaging your eyes from using a computer is caused by the repetitive motions involved, just like carpal tunnel. You're always looking the same distance away, converging your eyelines on something that is an extremely static apparent distance away from your face, and scanning the same ~20 inch area with your eyes. The distance to the monitor isn't a significant factor in that. It's purely the repetitiveness in eye movements that result from the regular use of it.

3d reduces this. It gives your eyes a fuckton more angles at which to converge than a regular monitor. A 3d display is less injurious than a regular monitor. However, there is a disconnect between where your eyes are converging and where your eyes are focusing on which doesn't exist in real life, and that has been known to fuck with peoples' perception and cause fatigue, but NOT known to cause serious lasting effects.

tl;dr
3d can cause more fatigue than a regular monitor, but is also less likely to injure your eyes

I'm sorry; I didn't realize we were speaking to a world-class optometrist.
