Prescription lenses for Oculus Quest change everything

I’ve had my Oculus Quest for quite a while. I’m always impressed by the quality of the experience that it delivers, but I’m less impressed by the way it makes my glasses dig into my face in a rather painful manner. So, last week I ordered some prescription lenses from VROptition.com. It would have been a simple process, except that I’d lost my prescription and when those nice people at EyeSite responded with the information I had to contact them again to ask what it meant…..

Anyhoo, the lenses arrived today. Amazing. I’ll write that again. Amazing. This must be what life is like for people with normal eyes. Lucky for them. I don’t need the glasses spacer any more so my field of view is much wider and the lenses themselves (which are beautifully presented as you can see above) are multi-coated so I get virtually no reflections from the optics. And, with no glasses I have no frame digging into my face any more.

The Quest has suddenly become properly viable for long term use. If you wear glasses you should investigate getting some of these. I’d even be inclined to suggest you get some “blank” ones if you don’t wear glasses because of the way they reduce reflections. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time in VR now.
