Maxi Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 This is a notice to all gamers that are yet to start making use of VR headset, it's very important that whenever you're using it, try as much as possible not to over use it because it's capable of affecting your eyes. I'm suffering from blurry vision and eye strain ever since abused using my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Thanks for the heads up. I don't own anything that involves a VR headset currently, nor do I plan to. But if that changes in the future, It's good to know what the effects could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started showing symptoms, it never occurred to me that it was the VR headset that's the cause until it got serious and I had to go for a proper check up. I wouldn't want that happening to anyone I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have diabetes or thyroid issues or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Thanks for the headsup mate and I also don't own any VR headsets as yet - I'm actually waiting for the technology to evolve further before I'll consider it. On another note, have you got your tested by a doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I get it from everyday use without even trying out the VR, I never used VR and I get blurry vision and eye strain from looking at my normal screen 😛 VR is fun and whatnot however it does affect you in the long runs if you play more then two hours.

Kane99 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah VR can cause some strain to the eyes. I mean, considering you have a small screen right in front of your eyes, it can't be good for prolonged use. If anything it's why they suggest taking breaks often.
