As someone who’s had similar issues, I’ve previously wondered if it would be possible to ‘simulate’ a prescription lens and have the headset just add a distortion to the video feed that approximates what your lenses do.
You need to refocus the light rays to a corrected position on your retina so you can’t simulate it with a screen, you need the lens. There are such things as programmable lenses but they are extremely experimental technology. Maybe in a decade.

the tldr is no, because the optical effects you can correct that way are not the ones that glasses/contacts exist to correct for.
Ah, that’s unfortunate. I did figure that if it were as easy as I proposed, it would probably already be implemented.
