Anyone else reading this comparing it with their personal experience using AR devices and thinking that the current devices Oculus/Apple Vision Pro devices feel like they are increasing eyestrain?

I now used both the oculus/quest and xreal for years now for many hours per day and never noticed. I get tested once a year and my eyesight remains the same (I am 50+ and don't need reading glasses still which apparently is not very normal here).

I get no eyestrain, personally, when using my Quest 3. The focus distance of the virtual image is between 1-2 meters, which is pretty good. However, the device gets uncomfortable to use over long periods of time in other areas like the forehead, etc.
