Not joking bro, i was on X since last year and stopped using it since last few days because i want to sell it. But i also have some focusing issue just like the one you mentioned. I thought something went in to eye splashed water into the eye it's been little better today but not as sharp as before.I used face ID about 10.5 months on X. Right eye is more affected than left but my parents has weak right eye too maybe its hereditary. I have glasses with mild numbers so i dont wear them. I cant say for sure what is causing little annoyance in vision.

But there are several variables here that we don’t know about. For example, Apple has not revealed the intensity of infrared light that is beamed out by the Dot Projector; nor has it given us any kind of clue as to the real risks involved when using Face ID. It’s also possible that Apple lacks the research data to say whether or not it is safe.

One thing is clear: the risks are definitely there. Infrared is known to cause retinal and corneal damage, especially when IR-A is used, which is the closest to visible light. Though there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Face ID can cause any of these issues, there is also no evidence to show that it cannot cause them.

And that’s the hard truth that iPhone X owners are going to have to live with.

you probably overthinking it, the IR sensors used in faceid is probably low powered otherwise it wouldn't be efficient for something that gets operated on a consistent/frequent basis.
