5 Eye Tips To Prevent VR Motion Sickness (Cybersickness)

[@RoguePC4U]

*Pro Tip: take 1-2 ginger pills 20 mins before. NOT gingerale (which has zero real ginger). Get the stuff that is simply dried natural ginger. Works better than all these tips combined. FYI - I'm extremely sensitive to motion sickness .... yet completely free of VR nausea when doing this.

thanks. i get motion sickness from normal stuff like reading in the car, videogames/phone in the car. Ginger helps with VR and car sickness, altho, i still cant do phones in the car

[@AdamRotering]

I got the gravol ginger chews. Helps so much

[@lilm5714]

I have ginger in a jar, could I mix that with water and drink it?

[@Ucceah]

not eye-related, but one thing that helps many, is to have a fan gently blowing at you form the front. a lesser known trick for games with joystick controls is, to hold the right stick pushed foward when turning. this makes the turning much more controlled and less twitchy, which just feel better, even when you got strong VR legs. but most importantly: motion sickness isnt something to worry about, or that needs immediate fixing. IT'S NORMAL AT FIRST! ..and will drastically decrease over time.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Awesome comment! Thank you for the extra tips!

[@bylejakinick]

tldr: Very true the motion sickness can drastically decrease over time. yes! I was shocked because the first time I played Alyx I said there is no way I can walk with joystick, I'm gonna have to teleport and I stopped playing after 20 minutes. Came back 2 days later and played Pavlov and Echo and had no problem! And to think I almost returned my Quest 2 because of that :D

[@Moe_lestering]

When i play racing games in vr i always put a fan in front of me too simulate drive wind. It helped me a lot.

[@craigalberts3079]

Thanks for this! I’m a PT that has done a bit of vestibular rehab, and I’m also someone that has struggled with motion sickness my whole life. I was hesitant about getting into VR due to this, as well as my bad experiences on VR motion sim rides, trying out FPV drones with goggles, and using prior low tech VR (ie Google Cardboard). However, thus far I’ve done surprisingly well with my Quest 2 - I’ve really tried to avoid smooth movement /thumbstick controlled games and don’t try to push through any feelings of sickness. I’m hoping to push my VR legs a bit and see if there’s any real world motion sickness improvement. I will definitely continue to check out your channel!

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thanks for the awesome comment! Glad to hear you are doing good with the quest 2. I do pretty good until there is smooth motion turning with the thumbstick. That gets me every time.

[@julilla1]

Awesome work that you do, Craig! I'll probably be doing vestibular rehab soon. Those of us who need it really appreciate it.

[@craigalberts3079]

@@DrEyeGuy tried out the new game Nock last night. Was really hoping that I could tolerate it but just couldn’t. Movement isn’t thumbstick controlled but rather “grabbing” and pulling yourself or the environment. A bit too fast and dynamic for me right now, but hopefully the vestibular system gets a little more acclimated!

[@craigalberts3079]

@@julilla1 thanks! For some people vestibular rehab can have great results. Wishing you well!

[@DrEyeGuy]

I've seen some videos on that game. It almost made me dizzy just watching the video. 😄 I'll have to give it a shot and see how it goes.

[@julilla1]

Spinning around and around to show us nystagmus shows real dedication! The exercises using the pens look just like some vestibular exercises I've been doing lately. I could see how they might help for VR motion sickness as well. Really good tips here.

[@DrEyeGuy]

VR treadmills are truly the solution to this like when I set up my PS VR2 with room scale if I walk forward 3 ft to walk 3 ft within the world I don't experience any sickness at all it's only when using the joystick while your actual body is standing still but your experiencing the movement in the game that is what makes you sick or at least for me so I feel like the VR treadmill is truly the best solution if it can ever become cheap enough for your average VR user

[@Afatcow123]

Cool! I used to be able to do 1 hr sessions with my quest 2 then one time i got sick and kept going. It happened 3 times and i was physically sick for over 16 hours or more each time. Even 3 minutes would make me sick from then on. I took along break and little bits trying to retrain my brain!

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for commenting this! I was going to mention this in the video but never did. Sometimes if you get sick in VR, and you push through, it can last for hours afterwards. Hopefully you can get back to normal.

[@zaltmanbleroze]

New to VR and I have played Moss 1, Horizon Call of the Mountain, Tetris Effect, no motion sickness at all, but 15 minutes of Kayak Mirage VR was enough to make me stop and it pretty much took a few hours to feel normal. It sucks but thanks for the tips will try them out, especially the target practices and the fan.

[@ozgurkuzu2202]

Same here,the only game Kayak made me feel sick (nausea all day).When i started Norway in Kayak mirage it got me so bad,i think we must ignore this game.

[@van_antwerpen]

Check out Red Matter. Excellent graphics, puzzle solving, and you can move by teleporting and snap turning. I think Red Matter 2 may already be out. Really cool visually. Also Beat Saber is insanely fun. Zero motion sickness because you don’t move, the cubes do. The Room is another cool puzzle solving game. I just tried Hubris a few weeks ago and after running, jumping, climbing and swimming in the game setup I got so sick I felt it for almost 2 weeks. 😭 I really wanted to play that game!

New to VR and after 30 minutes I don’t get motion sickness per say but I do feel like I’m still in the game if that makes sense. I look at my hands and it’s as if my mind can’t comprehend that I’m no longer playing. I think I’m going to have to refrain from playing.

[@RikkiMama]

Thank you for another great video. I've gotten a bit whoosy/dizzy when my husband & I play Walkabout Mini Golf, especially when the course is set in high places. The space station course was the worst. He can do the flying motion in the game, where that gives me VR motion sickness. My husband shared an article with me about using chewing gum to counter cybersickness. I started chewing mint gum when we play and that seems to help me more than having candied ginger. I also got my Rx headset lenses from Reloptix, thanks to your video on Quest 2 Rx lenses, and am realizing that having the lenses apparently helped, too.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for commenting! Glad to hear your lenses are working out for you. I also chew gum while I'm playing, it helps me a ton.

[@KeikoFire]

Turning on snap rotation helps a lot but I've also resorted to taking motion sickness/nausea meds 20 min before gameplay and afterwards which helps. I don't want my body to become reliant on it so I take short breaks after 20 minutes of gameplay like you suggested. Also, thanks for answering my question with the glasses. I'm near sighted (not completely bad) but wasn't sure if it was helping during VR. I'll try wearing it again to see if that helps.

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

Off topic but I wanted to catch you, Doc: in the mornings to help treat dry eye, I put in my artificial tear drops followed by my warm compress session. If I wanted to add in a lid cleanse step to this regimen, where would I add it? Before the drops? Between the drops and compress? After the compress? Where is the most effective spot? thanks for your great vids and advice...you are literally improving people's lives.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Usually you would want to do it after the warm compresses, as the warm compresses can help soften debri on the eyelashes and eyelids. If you have a lot of debri, you could always do the lid cleansing at the first of everything. Thanks for the great question.

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

Hallo, I've got another tip for you. @2:22 your lenses look a little dirty. Clean them with a glasses cloth. And @1:20 fluids in your eyes are still spinning around? I find that hard to believe. Is that a proven fact?

[@DrEyeGuy]

The fluids in your ears are still spinning around, not the fluid in the eyes. The b roll of the dirty lenses are from av different video talking about dirty lenses. 🙂

[@cdvries]

@@DrEyeGuy aha that explains it. Thank you for your tips. I have got another solution that worked for me. Take a office chair that can spin around so you can look around easily. I get less dizzy while sitting down than when I’m standing upright. I can move using the thumb stick and then it is just like a wheelchair experience. It’s ok for casual gaming but less useful if you are playing intensive games.

[@emarizea]

Hi, from Bucharest, Romania ! I am 39 years old and suffer from motion sickness since childhood. Antiemetic drugs are of no use to me and journeys, including by train, are tormented for me. I feel strong fatigue and nausea during a travel by train. Unfortunately in car rides is the worst. Besides the classic motion sickness that you describe in this video, I think I have an increased sensitivity to vibrations and speed variations. I feel pressure and an unpleasant sensation when the car is turning, accelerating and decelerating. Then I start to feel nauseous, feeling which sometimes suddenly increases in intensity. I have had a few flights recently. I feel every movement of the airplane like a strong pressure in the chest, back or head. Ofcourse, I also, sometimes feel nauseous on the plane and flying is stressful for me. I would not resist traveling more than an hour by the airplane. I really don't know how to stop being sensitive to speed variations and vibrations.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Motion sickness can really affect people in different degrees. I hope you are able to find something that is helpful.

Try ginger pills. 1 or 2 about 20 mins before any activity you know will cause nausea. I'm also quite sensitive. But once I started doing this, zero problems. Just make sure to get the real stuff ie. dried ginger. Not gingerale or ginger flavour etc.

[@briancamcginn]

I just started using VR. I used the National Geographic game a few times. Movement in the game is one of two ways: instant teleportation or fluid movement (basically walking using the control stick). When I use instant teleportation I have no issues, I start using fluid movement I experience motion sickness and my balance is hard to maintain. It’s like a light switch for me: I turn it on, I feel sick and my balance is harder to maintain. Turn it off and sickness and balance issues go away. I definitely think it’s the visual cues not matching what your vestibular system is telling you.

[@stevejones924]

For flying, just sit around in the plane or outside at the airport and leave it there for a bit. Then after an hour or so of the first, try just taxiing around, slowly. Then after a bit of that, all good, fresh air flowing, water, do some circuits. No jets here, just a slow flight, str8 and level mostly ....did you make sure the lenses are properly measured?

[@manp1039]

i think there may be another factor to consider when looking at IPD. I believe there can be some asymmetry in the face and in the position of pupils relative to parts of the face to the face plate of the headset uses as the mount/lock-in position of the head-mounted display. with the quest 2 the IPD adjustment is assuming a person the face and pupils, vertically and horizontally on face

As someone whos been using the Quest 2 for at least 4+hrs every night, for the last 3 yrs.... i got motion sickness early on from sitting. As long as i stood up, i was fine.

My 27 yr old daughter also uses her Q2 alot, but has very bad eyesight..she tends to still get motiin sickness once in a while.

Dr. EyeGuy, I am scheduled to have DMEK and the installation of Vivety lenses this summer. I am a school teacher that uses VR everyday with my students. I am concerned that the Vivety will make it so that VR will no longer look right and thus jeopardize my ability to do my job. Your thoughts?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Excellent question Todd! There are a lot of things to consider and think about for this one. Overall I think it's going to be a good thing and likely improve your vision and actually help with VR. With the vivity lens (I'm assuming you are a doing a multifocal lens), it should provide distance, intermediate, and near vision...as long as it's positioned correctly. VR usually sets their focal point a little bit further out in the distance (Oculus Quest 2 is 1.3meters out). That lens should do well that far out because it has a good depth of focus. There may be some limitations with glare or halos in VR... possibly... I'm not sure? But overall, I would think that it should help. If it doesn't, there's still a chance with correction, either glasses or VR lens inserts, that it could help. Tough to say because of so many factors. Are you having this surgery in both eyes, or just one eye?

[@MarioLoco03]

To give everyone here that when the Quest 2 is refered as the vomit machine, these users their IPD was not corresponding. Quest 2 has a fixed setting from 59/63/67, mine is 65, the quest 2 made me sick for two days, returned it thinking VR is nothing for me. Than I learned about this IPD, tried the Pico 4 (where you can set the IPD sharp by 0,5mm) and how boy I could play for an hour without any noticable signs of headache nearby. I talked to an optician about it and told me that using lenses in general with a difference of 2mm from your actual IPD was even dangerous to do, the doctor didn't understood that ''dangerous'' products like this were even sold without prescription. And I can tell you he's right as using the quest 2 for 30 minutes really gave me like migraine for two days. Can you guess what it would do when being stubborn and passing a whole day with the device thinking it's just a matter of getting used to the feeling.

[@xpnuggetbear]

I played the quest 2 and after, I looked at my hands and they seemed so unreal. So disconnected. How do we actually know we're all not in some advanced sim right now?

I played super hot vr and felt fine but one game of other vr games and I feel sick

⁠Hello! I just found your page looking for motion sickness treatments and I have an eye question. Last fall I got contacts for the first time. They worked great. I loved them. Until this year when the pollen hit and I haven’t been able to wear them since. They made my eyes so red they looked bloody and they felt like I had gravel in them now and then. (It’s not concretions) it looks like I have a permanent crescent shaped mark on each eye now from the contacts. The eye dr I’ve been going to just seems puzzled and gave me dailies to try because he can’t think of anything else. He says my eyes are suddenly dry. Any ideas on how to fix this? Am I doomed to glasses? Im so sick of them. 😫

Hi! I’m still gonna like the video,but something amazing abt me is I can play for hours and be fine lol

[@Did_U_Know..]

Yeah same

Thanks! That's awesome! Some people are lucky and don't experience it at all.

I wanted to do a barrel rolle in Projekt wingman, I had to stop playing 😂

[@saltedfish8077]

The 20/20/20 rule certainly doest help in my case. The dizziness hits so hard that I cant even hold for 10 seconds.

One KZbinr suggests suckin on some mints...seems to help!

Has anyone tried Dramamine?

[@selalovesu143]

I have and it works semi but I can play longer

[@swatman1107]

I've been in gaming for like 20 years,but I feel sick sick from playing Vr....WTF...Good thing I didn't see anything before playing....

[@TheRealMikeyXD_UK]

As soon as i go on my vr it makes my eyes feel wierd lol

[@jollin3823]

You should be a doctor! because you’re so good at knowing how we focus and stuff and our balance and that stuff😎 yeah

One strange way that helps me is by putting a small touch of Vicks on my nose

Idk if it's just me but this vid is incredibly quiet.

[@DrEyeGuy]

I thought I had learned my lesson from a previous video...maybe I didn't. I just checked the video and it seems ok to me. I did use a different mic for this video and had issue with it with certain clips, which could be that. Sorry about that, that's what I get for trying something new. 😄

[@LampDoesVideogame]

@@DrEyeGuy You're good dude. I was on my phone if that helps you testing.

[@DrEyeGuy]

@@LampDoesVideogame Yeah, thanks. That helps. It could be my mic... I might just switch back to my other one.

[@Kevo1993]

Certain video games like first person shooters or games like gta, my motion sickness is so severe that I honestly get the urge to vomit after 3 minutes.

[@DrEyeGuy]

So can you still play VR with other games?

[@Kevo1993]

@@DrEyeGuy not at all. I can mainly play like nba 2K or side scrollers, but any vr game and I mean anyone, I get extremely sick. Honest truth.

[@DrEyeGuy]

@@Kevo1993 bummer, sorry to hear that.

[@dzxtricks]

I just hate VR game with smooth locomotion 🙃 Betahistin helped but yeah i don't wanna drink that everyday

My tip is to never artificially turn. Any time i do its never pretty
