VR lenses are usually made of plastic and are much more prone to scratches than glass lenses.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhat VR Headset Is Best For People With Glasses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I have used quite a number of VR headsets with glasses, and I’ve generally been able to achieve a comfortable fit. Sometimes this has required me to fit a glasses spacer or change the facial interface, but I’ve always managed to get there. As a result, comfort with glasses should probably take a back seat to the other features when you’re choosing a VR headset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that said, I’ve found the Valve Index and HP Reverb G2 to be exceptionally comfortable when wearing glasses, whereas it took a little more effort to get a comfortable fit when using the Meta Quest 2. With that said, the Quest 2 is currently the VR headset that I use the most, and due to the glasses spacer and a new facial interface, it stays comfortable for hours at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can You Use Glasses With Oculus Quest 2?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As with each Oculus model, the Oculus Quest 2 (now Meta Quest 2) can be used with most glasses. While that\u2019s true, bigger glasses may not fit within the headset. Glasses frames should have a width of 142mm or less and a height of 50mm or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A glasses spacer is required for the Oculus Quest 2 to provide enough room for your glasses. The spacer is very easy to insert and comes with the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can You Use VR with One Eye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can use VR with one eye. However, it has a minor effect on the VR experience. A typical VR headset renders separate images from a different angle to each eye, creating a stereoscopic 3D image. If you are using a VR headset with only one eye, you lose this stereoscopic effect, and it is harder to perceive depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will also have a smaller FOV, as you will lose the portion of the rendered image that would be delivered to the other eye. You will have to compensate by turning your head the same way you would in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While there are alternatives to glasses such as prescription lenses and contact lenses, many people will need to have their vision corrected before they can enjoy VR. This is especially true of those who are near-sighted. With so many VR sets made to fit comfortably with glasses, you’ll still be able to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of virtual reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
