I’m near-sighted, and the VR lens are inches from my face, so why does VR still recommend I wear my eye glasses?

The headset might be inches from your face, but the lenses in the headsets, the display, and the entire software running it is designed to make it seem like you are in a real world when you put it on. A big part of that real world feel is the feeling of objects being near and far. Effectively the entire system is causing light to reach your eyes in the same manner as it would if that virtual object were really there in front of you. Which means near or far sighted ness is still going to be an issue.
