> I started using the XREAL glasses a few months ago. How's your eye sight? Any signs of fatigue? I've seen people saying that they're fine for gaming and movie watching but too fuzzy for work...

No more than any other XR product. I can do the work I need to from it for the most part.

  I’m asking AR vs monitors, not comparisons between AR products.

    My bad. It’s as good as any 1080p monitor and it supports 120hz refresh rate. The FOV will be the thing that gets to you.

      It will be a long time until I try because I have both astigmatism and dioptries so I’d need something pretty custom.

        There are prescription inserts for it, including astigmatism and dioptries

        Like Apple's? Single source and overpriced?

        They list three different vendors on the site for prescription inserts (one per region), and there are other vendors who offer them, too. The partnered US vendor had them listed at $150 but I think some of the other options are cheaper.

        I'm in the EU, I used HONSVR and paid $50, which seems reasonable.

        using honsvr lenses with xreal now for a mild astigmatism and they're great.

The Air glasses are a bit fuzzy. The Xreal One Pros are far better. I can work all day in them, if I'm not going to be on any video calls.

I've seen review from a guy who started losing sight with xreal glasses after a month of daily use (got better a week+ after he stopped) so I would only pay attention to long term users...

  That's a pretty strong claim, do you have a source for that?

    Sure but it's in Russian, https://www.iphones.ru/iNotes/otkazalsya-ot-ochkov-rasshirennoy-realnosti-xreal-air-2-pro-spustya-mesyac-posle-pokupki-potomu-chto-zrenie-dorozhe https://www.iphones.ru/iNotes/otkazalsya-ot-ochkov-rasshiren...

      Sounds like eye strain rather than any sort of physical damage. What would the mechanism even be?

I've been using the Viture XR Pro glasses and they're fine for occasional PC use but I don't like them enough to use a daily driver for work. It's great for gaming and movies as you say, and also for adopting a better posture when using a laptop in a cramped space like a train or airline seat. But even with the individual focus wheels for each eye, it doesn't feel sharp enough at 1080p to replace a 24" or 27" screen on a standard desk layout. If I had the option of one 24" 1080p monitor on my desk or XR glasses to use for 8-10 hours of thoughtful work, I would choose the monitor. Regarding eye strain or fatigue, I don't notice any. The fact that the projected display appears to be 3-4m away probably helps a lot with that.
