Reducing eye strain on the XREAL Air 2
XREAL's spec sheet lists the Air 2 at a 46° field of view, up to 500 nits, and up to 120 Hz in 2D (90 Hz in 3D). It ships with S/M/L nose pads and a 3-position temple adjustment, and those two parts decide most of your comfort.
Common causes of strain on the Air 2
- Image sitting too high or low. Your eyes work harder to read the soft edge. Try each nose pad and temple position.
- Prescription. The Air 2 uses a detachable prescription frame rather than built-in dials. If you normally wear glasses, an insert usually matters more than any setting.
- Too bright in a dark room. Lower brightness with the glasses' buttons at night.
- Left and right images that don't quite match. A small vertical offset or tint difference keeps your eyes correcting. See double vision and alignment.
Habits that help
Take a short break every 20–30 minutes, look at something far away, and build up session length. More in AR glasses eye strain fixes and headaches and motion sickness.
