What I always wonder about with these Headsets is how can this not damage your eyes, focusing them at such short distance for prolonged periods. Anybody with experience in using such a device would like to comment on this?

IIRC: Like Google Glass and VR headsets, they use some optical tricks to focus at infinity.

So to your eyes you're focusing at an object 2-3+ meters away rather than 2-3 cm in reality.
