Isn't one of the biggest problems with these VR headsets the nearness of the display to the eye? It seems like prolonged exposure to this would result in myopia that would worsen faster than it does when exposed to screens that are farther away.

No. Your eye is generally focusing on infinity in a VR display, that's why myopic people need to wear glasses in VR.

How does that happen if the display is right up next to your eye?
