Eventually VR headsets or glasses with use variable focus lenses to solve the Vergence-Accomodation conflict.
https://arinsider.co/2022/06/22/5-ways-to-address-ars-vergence-accommodation-conflict/
The solution to that may well be variable focus liquid lenses

Either way, once focus is variable, it's just a matter of calibrating the range to adjust to the user's eyes and you won't need lens inserts nor glasses anymore while wearing a headset.

Is this for real? The headset lens working as my glasses and correcting my visual problem!!! That would be bloody amazing!
hopefully this will be economically viable, and not make the Headset too expensive.

I wear glasses, friend.

The kind of thing that I'm talking about, would enable someone with near sightedness to be able to use a headset without having to wear their glasses.  

Maybe you feel differently, but I think I'd rather have a VR headset that incorporates the glasses in a way that replaces the latter during use, instead of accommodates them in a way that requires me to wear both. 

Ok. Now we are talking! That Headset corrects my visual problems!?! Realy!? That's amazing stuff!! Using a small headset that replaces my glasses and corrects my sight is the best possible solution for sure.

You can already get prescription lens inserts so you don't have to wear glasses

Send them your prescription and what headset you want them for and they'll custom make you a pair to clip on inside the headset.
Some people also order these with no prescription as a safety shield so the non replace-able VR lenses don't get damaged.

In the future the headset will calibrate itself to your eyes so multiple users can use the headset (without having to swap inserts). Yet for now it's all still fixed focal length, hence the inserts.

It's coming for regular glasses as well

It will be expensive at first, just like early headsets. Prices will come down once the tech catches on and this could be revolutionary for glasses wearers. I have to take my glasses off when using my laptop (near sighted) but need to wear them in the headset (and for driving obviously).
