The vergence-accommodation conflict exist due to VR headsets having a fixed focus (~1.3m on Quest2). When a virtual object is close to the players eyes, the eyes will rotate inwards and try to focus on that object at its virtual distance, which causes a mismatch between where the focus from the headset actually is and where the brain expects it to be. This will lead to nearby objects being blurry.

Question: How many people actually suffer from this and to what degree? Can you train yourself out of it (e.g. closing one eye to remove the conflict)?

I feel like it´s there for me but only like for a moment. After that moment, my eyes seem to compensate and then it´s fine.

Could be interresting to check for this though when people say the image is blurry.

I use VR for work but don’t exactly know what VAC feels like. For me the only real strain comes from 3d video that is misaligned.

It's just not seeing objects that are very close in sharp focus. They always seem a little blurry for most people unless you're farsighted.

Should be a thing for most people unless you are older in which case your eyes often lose the ability to focus very close (farsightedness) and then VR will work perfect for you.
