Potential bonus Tip: improve your ambient lighting. The lights in my living room were dim but after changing the bulbs and getting bright LEDs it seemed to make a pretty good difference. Maybe a one off but worth a shot

Nice tip!

[@niemand262]

Oculus does require a lit room (i think to locate itself in space). I find in dim lighting I get more positional stuttering.

[@brandongonzales3785]

If you wanna play in a dark room without actually turning on bright lights, just get IR Illuminators. They're invisible to our eyes, but they do light up the room for the Quest to see just fine.

[@steelsilence19]

@@brandongonzales3785 did this even make sense

[@Maxsfable]

@@steelsilence19 yup, IR light (infrared) is as bright a light as any wavelength, but it's invisible to the human eye. However, the Quest 2 can still see it like any other bright light.

[@mikemikemikemikemikemeup]

Also a easy change is to switch to night mode. As long as the color of night mode doesn’t bother you this can help a lot. Bright white is one of the most blurry/blown out colors on the quest 2. Night mode makes the bright colors a bit more dim and takes away a lot of blur.

Hi

[@guitarsimon1]

Something that helped me (which now makes a lot of sense knowing about that sweet spot) was trying to remember to only move my head and not move my eyes. Feels weird and a difficult habit to form but definitely makes a difference.

[@nafnaf0]

For me the standard interface brackets are too thick and put the lenses too far away from my eyes. I got some thinner ones off Amazon and it is much improved and gives a better field of view as well. Using the top strap and positioning the side straps slightly lower also helps keep them in the right position vertically (both pitch and vertical position), at least for me

[@DrEyeGuy]

Good to hear that you figured it out.

[@KoalazDank0420]

What where the ones you bought called

[@cyborgagent6]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm day one on my quest 2 and I was noticing the blur, despite any adjustments to the strap I tried and assumed I was one of those unlucky people with a weird IPD that doesnt match the quest. After watching this, I still have many more things to try to see if I can make it better. My eyes need to still adjust, I'm a smoker (meaning my vision gets a little blurred anyway, so the VR is probably heightening the effects), and i don't have any accessories to give better comfort. It's still playable, but it looks like the kind of blur you get after swimming in a chlorine pool all day. Despite this blurriness, I'm blown away by the quality of the Q2.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Hopefully some of the tips can help you out. It really is a blast in VR once you get into it.

[@hiob8566]

Wow! That's a great amount of detail and help to know about your eyes. And in fact also about the quest 2! Thank you very much.

[@Mr.M290]

For the 3rd one you can get a prescription lenses cover for the oculus quest which can eliminate the possibility of destroying your lenses if you scratch them with glasses also it can help protect them

[@benjaminpriest639]

After watching several of your videos I've been able to get my eye strain down and enjoy my time in VR more. Thanks man, keep it up.

[@DrEyeGuy]

That's so awesome to hear! Comments like this keep me motivated to make more videos.

[@robertashker9871]

Once I find that sweet spot (mainly by finding the correct position of how the unit sits on my head) I relax my eyes and get used to moving my head instead of moving my eyes to look around. It's a new learning experience for sure.

[@hootowlme]

I love how you go into the science about it. Most informative video on these topics, so ty!

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you! That really does mean a lot to me.

[@liquidmetal9015]

There is also that the quest 2 (and all current VR headsets) are fixed focal distance. 1.5m in the case of the quest. Your eyes are used to focusing on things based on depth cues like the convergence distance of your eyes, so your eyes will actually miss focus for the virtual content when trying to look at something up close especially. Vari-focal headsets like the half-dome 3 prototype from Facebook reality labs use some very complicated technology to track your eyes and refocus the lenses to the correct distance for what you are looking at (and apply a depth of field effect mimicking how light normally falls on your retinas). With headsets like that eye strain should be substantially reduced as there isn't a mismatch between the focal distance and other depth cues.

[@DrEyeGuy]

I'm excited to test out varifocal lenses!

[@TheHoodGuru]

Great job. I have an Oculus Quest 2 and an HTC Vive. I knew about the lenses and the IPD adjustments from the very beginning but not about that center sweet spot circle in the lense. That really makes it easy to understand why they always want you to use the IPD adjustment. Over time I just hoped mine stayed set. On the HTC Vive its easy to turn that knob on accident and I dont have the paper guide to know my measurement anymore.

[@Daniel_Roach]

I have a valve index, but this all tracks. I didn't know why I kept seeing these weird rings and now I've been able to fix it. You're awesome dude thanks!

[@dennisplester1542]

Thanks for this excellent video. I’ve just ordered a Quest 2 and am coming from PSVR. I found some of these issues and fixes from my time with PSVR through trial and error, but your video logically explained what I found and also mentioned a couple of new points I will definitely take into account when my Quest 2 arrives.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for the awesome comment. I'm super glad this video ended up being worth while.

[@HeathAllyn]

This was SUPER helpful and let me feel more confident that there's nothing wrong with my device or my eyes, just part of the experience unfortunately. I normally wear readers only when at my computer. I've tried Oculus with and without my readers, and I think I prefer it without. More comfortable for sure and the difference with my readers on was subtle enough that I wasn't even sure if it was better or not, and it seemed to really make edge distortion much more noticeable. Would you think readers-wearing users would be better off with or without their readers?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you! Yes, in fact, the focal point for VR is set more in the distance, so people that just wear reading glasses should do fine without their reading glasses.

[@Xparamint]

Great video - was always hesitant with VR cause of my eyes but I feel a lot more comfortable after hearing you go over things - TYVM !!

[@techiteasyaus]

Thanks Doc! It’s been my main problem since I got my device two weeks ago. I wear progressive lenses and obviously it’s not ideal for the Quest 2 as I am constrained to the middle/top part of the lenses. I’ve ordered some glasses with only the top part so hopefully it’ll help. Also I’m now using an elite strap and it’s much easier to fine tune the correct position although it’s a little tricky to fit the glasses.

[@DrEyeGuy]

As one owning the Quest2 and multifocal eye glasses and trying different things to impruve the view and use comfort I can say in 100% that the best solution is to order glasses that fit on the quest lenses and not using real glasses.

[@diamondp.9688]

You are very correct about the reasons, no bs like some other specify. Natural eyesight of a user should be normal or properly corrected with eyeglasses/contact lenses or lens inserts (IMO, the latest variant is the best, as it's the most convenient one and by far) FOR THE RIGHT DISTANCE, which is the distance from the eyes to the virtual surface where image is displayed. I read that for Oculus Go and OQ1 it's either 1.3 or 2 meters, OQ2 should be something about that too or somewhat closer as I noticed coz I do need glasses for it unlike Go (I use +1.5 glasses for middle distance in RL, I almost don't need them for Go), but Rift S f.e. has its virual screen basically at infinite distance AFAIK. So prescription glasses or lens inserts should allow to see clearly at that distance which is different for different headsets. It's strange that makers don't oficially publish the info about effective focal distance as it's critically important for older people who use several glasses for different distances (reading, TV, walking/driving).

So pleased I ran across your channel. I've long wanted to ask an optometrist, is there a mild prescription a normally sighted person could use (via lens inserts) to slightly magnify the picture? You may be aware that with the Quest 2's highest IPD setting you can see the left and right edges of the display panel as very harsh, straight, vertical borders. I find this very distracting and would much prefer the whole image was magnified slightly to fill the circular limits of the lens. Thanks!

[@DrEyeGuy]

Now this is a good question. If you out a magnifying lens in there, it is going to change the focal point of the quest, and potential make it blurry, which would defeat the whole purpose. Right now I can't think of a way optically to get rid the display edge... ill look into further.

[@ionwerks]

@@DrEyeGuy Thank you, there may not be a solution, at least not one that can be readily ordered 'off-the-shelf', but it'd be a great discovery if it turned out there was.

[@StormyJBlake]

Thank you so much for this. I thought I was going crazy; that my headset's lenses were damaged. Nope. It's just my astigmatism doing what it's always done.

[@DrEyeGuy]

That stinking astigmatism... 🧐

[@BOOSETO]

Working in cinematography all my career and hearing the way you pronounce "Fresnel" is just funny to me.

[@Mr.Ctubee]

I recommend playing with the strap, adjust it till it really wraps your head fully but comfortably, and then play with the lenses. It has 3 options and I notice for me is 2. Yeah at first it feels good and sometimes bad blurry, but I also think is because your eyes need to adjust a little. It takes about a few days for eyes to adjust and feel comfortable

[@DrEyeGuy]

Good comment! Thanks.

[@ktwpatterson1190]

Haven’t gotten them yet, but there is a company that is partnered with Oculus that makes prescription lens attachments so you don’t have to wear glasses while playing.

I find the oculus is very similar to my progressive glasses. You have to move your head to find that sweet spot. The walkabout mini golf on this headset is awesome. Keeps you from getting depressed especially in the winter.

well done. I have a stigmatism (left eye) from doing artwork, phone and PC screens for 25 years...... and now an ocular occlusion from an isolated eye stroke last week in the same flipping eye (pre VR use. So "no" folks..wasn't caused by VR). Nice to see other videos addressing prescriptions and such. I will check them out. now say "I utilize an Oculus with an ocular occlusion from an isolated eye stroke" 5 times fast.

The fresnel lenses explain why I can still read things without my glasses when wearing the Quest. I still use the peephole trick to read things when my glasses aren't readily available.

[@RichardServello]

If you are far sighted you will be able to read in vr. If you're near sighted you'll need inserts

[@jaytpmc]

Fresnel.lenses cause the "god/light rays" psvr doesent have this and is way blurrier. The resolution is why it is blurry and foviated rendering.

[@rafadoespiano6505]

You can go in between settings too with ipd, always carry a microfiber cloth, never use your shirt to clean lenses. Or yes prescription glasses. And if your fogging up it’s probably bc the temperature isn’t the same in the headset then outside, or your nose is inside and breathing in the headset so I recommend a fan if the room is too hot. Just some tips :)

[@DrEyeGuy]

[@user-zq6yz5gf6d]

I found my headset very blurry at first. The best way to fix it is to make sure u got the right IPD setting on, and it is fit right on your face. I thought I would have to use the IPD setting 1, because my ipd is around 59mm, but that was more blurry for me than the default 2nd setting. So I use the 2nd setting. Guess my IPD measurement app was wrong lol

[@Spoopy_Owl]

I’m a manager at an optical clinic (was an optician beforehand) so I know about lenses and such. I recently got a VR headset and right away the nature of the lenses reminded me of progressive lenses! I’m only single vision but you literally have to find that sweet spot for your VR to be clear. Also, stopping at 68 for the PD was the dumbest thing they could’ve done 🤦🏻‍♀️ your average person is gonna be well under a 68 BUT there’s plenty of people above that

[@DrEyeGuy]

I completely agree!

[@TheHog107]

This gives a great explanation why some people see the "Sweet Spot" as large and others says its small. This seems to be a debate with the HP Reverb G2 crowd. Distance of eyes to middle spot on the lens. Thanks Dr. EyeGuy!

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@thinkcooper]

Hey Dr. EyeGuy - I have a 73mm IPD, and use both a Quest 1 and Quest 2 for work (at Meta Reality Labs). I can "squeeze" into a Quest 1 and comfortably accommodate to it's widest IPD setting of 70mm, but it's a bit more strain adjusting to the 68mm max of the Quest 2. I've been exploring using Prism inserts to try and push the Quest 2's IPD wider, to a range I can accommodate to. Can you share your thoughts on using a Prism insert to modify the 68mm max IPD?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for the nice comment! I hope just getting an updated prescription solves the issue

[@varnull6120]

Best tip I can give for IPD and height adjustment, especially since getting the right IPD with the quest 2 is a guessing game (why oh why is it stepped?) - When it launches, use the color bleed around the dots as it's loading as an indicator of how to adjust it. If both eyes see color bleed to the same side, move the headset left/right. If each eye sees the bleed in it's own direction, then either loosen/tighten IPD, and if the bleed is up/down then obv adjust up/down. ideally try to look straight ahead while you do the adjustments, not at the place where the screen is. I usually have it adjusted before i'm in, it's a fast process, and it helps a lot.When you're in the sweet spot, the center of your vision will have almost no color bleed and if there is any it should be balanced on all sides

[@JoshDoes]

Thanks for that idea i did see it bleeds a little bit for me one way

[@PatrickRatman]

see i have the opposite situation in that VR headsets just tend to work on me regardless of shape or inconvenient IPD adjustment, but i gotta get creative for my family members sometimes.

[@Edgard422]

IPD on the quest 2 should not be a guessing game, each number is related to a specific IPD, this video even shows that 1 = 58 mm, and 2 = 63 mm

[@varnull6120]

@@Edgard422 Absolutely! But some people might be in the middle - and this trick also works for up-down and left-right alignment. It's just a quick thing I check when I put it on to make sure things are lined up

I have amblyopia but my eyes have never had that “lazy” eye drifting. Can’t tell if the different in vision between my eyes has anything to do with my vision in the oculus. It seems that things further away in the game get blurry at a distance that is surprisingly short.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Hard to say without knowing what your prescription is. Do you wear glasses when playing VR?

[@ITheTryHardI]

@@DrEyeGuy I haven’t worn glasses in years. There was going to be only one prescription lens (over left eye) but before I quit wearing my glasses it was just to slide an eyepatch over it. Most uncomfortable thing to ever wear.

[@ITheTryHardI]

Over my right eye*

[@rox9570]

Do you think farsightedness can also be a factor when it comes to blurry vision in VR? I'm farsighted and sometimes if I pull the headset a bit off my face, I can see the image more clearly because it's slightly further away. I haven't seen that much online about farsightedness and VR, so I'd be interested to hear your take on it.

[@DrEyeGuy]

It absolutely can affect VR. Do you wear glasses when playing the VR? People that are farsighted can usually do ok with distance vision without glasses. But without glasses you will have to use your focus muscles than other people would have to. This can for sure mess with the clarity.

[@rox9570]

@@DrEyeGuy I do wear my glasses when I play VR. I saw online that sometimes farsighted people do okay without their glasses in VR, but I have pretty severe astigmatism so it was all just very very blurry when I tried without my glasses. I did get an extra large glasses spacer to make the distance between my eyes and the screen a bit bigger, and I think it's helped!
