Systems and methods for display binocular deformation compensation

An eyewear device for being worn on a head of a user for presenting virtual content to a user, comprising:

• a frame structure having a frame front;
• an optical assembly having a first rigidity, the optical assembly having a chassis and a plurality of optical components affixed to the chassis;
• and
• a plurality of mounts mechanically coupling the chassis of the optical assembly to the frame front, wherein at least one of the plurality of mounts is configured for preventing at least portion of a first static deformation load applied to the frame front from being mechanically communicated to the optical assembly, such that the entire optical assembly translates relative to the frame front in response to the application of the first static deformation load to the frame front.
