Sight Impaired VR

My left eye is out to lunch. My right eye is about 70 percent. Before I expend my money, can anyone advise me if sight improves in a digital world?

I guess it would depend on your exact medical issue. Certainly I can imagine circumstances where having the screen right in front of your eyes might be helpful, but VR glasses are focused in such a way that if you need glasses in real life, you need glasses in vr.

Which is to say, it's probably more complex than it seems at first blush, and the question is certainly better suited to being answered by a doctor.

That being said, virtual reality tech already has some applications for people with limited vision: https://www.mdtmag.com/blog/2015/10/virtual-reality-headset-restores-sight-blind
