Yeah, I don't get this line either. I've seen some people claim that there are potential health issues related to VR, but they are largely unfouned speculation. Actually, there is a chance VR headsets could actually help your eyesight.

To be fair, the company selling that VR has a vested interest in calling VR good for your health, since they are selling it. There are no numbers, studies, or other scientists backing it up.

Keep in mind, Smoking companies alleged smoking was beneficial, then no harmful, before they had to put the warning label on.

ExxonMobil told people in some latin american countries they where drilling in that, rubbing crude oil on their skin was healthy so that they could get away with pollution. It's not its highly toxic.

I think you have that backwards. Its was Magic Leaps CEO that said that stereoscopic headsets could be harmful to your health. Going as far as saying that he wouldn't wear one.

It was a pair of UC Berkley professors that said that A. there wasn't really any evidence to suggest that those headsets could cause lasting neurological damage. And B. that wearing them may actually help your vision.
