Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world’s population will have myopia.

Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?

Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.

Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?

      Works pretty well honestly. Only picked up the larger light seal after the vision itself said it needed it, and yeah it was a bit too close with the lenses in. Easy swap.
