If you wear glasses, you may be wondering if you can use the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset comfortably. The answer is yes! The Oculus Quest 2 has several options for glasses wearers and those with prescription contacts.
First of all, the Oculus Quest 2 headset does not have a negative impact on your visual experience if you’re wearing glasses. The headset comes with a dedicated glasses spacer that creates additional space between your face and the lenses of the headset. This is perfect for those with spectacles, as long as your frames have a width no larger than 142 millimeters and a height of 50 millimeters.
To use the glasses spacer, simply remove the Oculus Quest 2 facial interface from your headset, insert the eyeglass spacer where the interface originally was, and then re-insert the original facial interface over the eyeglass spacer. That’s it! You’re now ready to enjoy a massive catalog of AAA games and apps in crystal clear quality.
If you prefer contacts to glasses, the Oculus Quest 2 also has you covered. Facebook recommends a specific provider via their official website for custom prescription lenses. VirtuClear lens inserts allow you to customize your Oculus Quest 2 headset with custom prescription lenses. These lenses cost $79.99 and are super easy to insert and remove from your headset.
For those with a little DIY experience, you can save yourself a few bucks by 3D printing your own prescription lens adapters. There are several free designs for 3D printable lens adapters available via Thingiverse that allow you to use your existing lenses on the Oculus Quest 2 – no custom-made replacement required!
So, whether you’re rocking regular spectacles or customized prescription lenses, the Oculus Quest 2 has you covered. If you’re new to the Oculus Quest 2, be sure to check out some tutorial videos to get started. Happy gaming!
