ELI5: Is a virtual reality headset worse for my eyes than staring at a computer screen?

If the headset is so close to the eyes, is it so much more worse for the eyes? Recommended breaks every 45 minutes or more frequently?

A decent VR headset will actually set the focus of the screens to infinity so your eyes are relaxed.
The problem with screens and TV are that you are focusing quite close, and straining your eyes.  A VR headset has the capability (with projection to project the image so that your focus point is quite far, thus relaxing your eyes).
This infinite focus is seen on Red dot/reflex weapon sights which keeps the red dot in the same place even at different angles of viewing, they also used in HUD in aircraft and cars, so that you can focus in front of you and still read the display.
