That's exactly what prescription glasses are. I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are you trying to suggest that prescription glasses don't actually improve people's eyesight?

  They don't emit light straight into the eye globe a few centimenters away from it.

    The light passes through lenses made out of plastic or glass that are a few cm away.

      Not the same, as any ophthalmologist will gladly educate you on the matter.

        What is your point. Your eyes have no way of detecting the origin of light. When using VR there is no way for your eyes to know that the screen is that close.

        My point is that you don't have any clue how my eyes feel with two tiny TVs a couple of centimeters away from them vomiting direct light with high intensity into them, and wide open pupils. Not a single clue, and if you think natural light is the same, I suggest a new posture to watch TV. Maybe you will learn something, maybe not.

        Your eyes physically bend to focus at different distances. VR can simulate a specific distance, and your eye will focus on that, but the common current tech can't simulate different distances. Your eye focus will be telling you it's a 12ft away screen or whatever, even when your binocular vision is telling you a flying tomato is right next to you.
