The "peripheral area of the retina continuously contacts sunlight" part is just wishful thinking at this point. Every company in this space except Xreal has abandoned the idea of a see-through display, and Xreal has only kept it because their focus is on weight and comfort over features and it lets them avoid needing passthrough cameras and everything that goes with them.

Oh, okay. But you can still use AR glasses/VR headsets/projectors, with distant (1-3 m) images to prevent myopia induced by extended periods of focusing on close objects when used in place of computer monitors or physical books, magazines, etc.

Snap is another competitor in this space that has see-through displays via waveguides.
