I wonder what effects VR and AR will have on this.

Head worn glasses simulate infinity/distance, so they do not impose focus or convergence stress on the eye.

Viture glasses ship with adjustable myopia optical correction to -5.00D (no cylinder), or they have an optional frame for custom prescriptions.

Same. Hopefully AR/VR and other display technologies will mitigate myopia.

Why was this downvoted? VR shows an image at infinity which is much better than other display technologies, and new technologies like micro LED chips can be super bright and even rival the outdoors. Together, both hypotheses regarding myopia are addressed.

Most are in fact measured in feet, and only quite a few at that. Still better than being measured in centimeters however.
