Wearing the Oculus Quest 2 with glasses

[@iAmRespawn]

Wow, so many people wear glasses so you just helped 10’s of thousands of people

Not just the views, people share it with other cousins and others you know

[@pongchannel.]

If your lens did scratch you can buy glasses lens for the quest which can also act as a replacement (I think)

[@Vikingcatbro]

@@pongchannel. The power of glasses can vary and are very specific and can be very expensive, so its probably better to get contactlenses.

[@killahkl4ms963]

I was literally about to return them because of the pain and discomfort of wearing larger glasses with the headset. This video solved my issue 100% thank you so much!!

[@WinTechUK]

Glad to be of help :)

[@donny6438]

I'm super excited to try the quest 2 thank you for showing me a way to wear it with my glasses.

[@supereshay1263]

Thanks soooo much bro! I’ve been using the oculus for some time now and I used them without my glasses and it was blurry and annoying. But now thanks to you I can use my glasses without much worry of scratching the lenses of the oculus

[@HiskoEU]

With the glasses is it less blurry? I remember using Vr in my friends house and it was sooo blurry?

[@darren-garden]

@@HiskoEU VR has come on by leaps and bounds over the last few years. Very little blurriness, if any. But because oculus optics have no focus pull, you need your regular distance glasses for the best results.

[@mollygrubber]

first day with my quest 2, this video helped! thanks, cheers from Vancouver.

[@hbsamurai3173]

got my quest 2 yesterday. You are a life saver. Straight to the point. thank you!

[@RealSerenityPlayz]

I got it on Dec 25 2021

[@soulechelon2643]

Oh man I just randomly stumbled on this right after a gaming session with my first ever VR headset (also a Quest 2). It was a few hours and once I removed them, the amount of pain was pretty bad. Checked the mirror and yeah, got a few sore spots around my nosebridge now. But I saw this vid and immediately gave it a shot - it works! There's still some pressure and I have an alternate head strap coming in soon to help (along with some lens protectors) but I can actually play without ruining my face even further lol. Awesome stuff. I didn't even know those two arms could be tilted. Instant game changer.

[@willsievwright9870]

From a fellow Scotsman thank you so much, only had 2 weeks but your tips have been very helpful. Take care.

[@MJthegoat2345]

I’m glad I found this. I get mine’s tomorrow and I’m excited but I wear glasses and was worried about the fit

[@Vixen5290_]

You're a lifesaver! I thought I'd have to get prescription lenses for my Quest 2 but thanks to this I found out how to make my glasses fit properly.

[@Jokers_Laughing]

thank you for getting right to the point.

[@DeSoulHCR]

thank you so much. this was my worry as i just ordered my oculus quest 2 and i also wear glasses.

mis lentes son un poco largos, no te molesta usarlo??

Finally a good video showing how to actually use it with glasses 🤓 thank you !

[@maxh6979]

thanks to the quest 2 i have been using my contact lenses every day, i havent used my glasses for like a week, and thats good

[@rostislavvulev4023]

Thank you so much! I didn't know that the sides of the headset can tilt. That has changed everything!

[@deborahmarkley1891]

OMG - just got mine Quest 2 and was impossible to get on - thank you soooo much!!!!

[@muntzjet-gs9ui]

Did it work?

[@KeyBrute]

Wow I'm dumb. Thanks for showing the most optimal way.

[@themoonbirdsmind8531]

this is so helpful! i literally would just take my glasses off, put them inside of the occulus eye space, and then put it on that way

[@roxy8534]

I don't see well since my purchase, I even play in the settings several times. I wear contact lenses and I put it now the game is great. Thank you for your video I was afraid for my sight.

[@mrsweetkandy7673]

Thanks a lot for the tips on how to equip it, i didn't think about it

[@scott3282]

Oh I'm glad to check this vid out. I wanted to see if my glasses would be the bothersome

[@tommylejerry8973]

I bought a cheap smaller glasses that is about 135 mm in width and it fits better (but still far from comfortable) with my Quest 2, only realized how my aging PSVR is still the most comfortable VR headset out there despite of the low res graphics.

[@jenshagberg1228]

I have pretty wide glasses, and it works fine with and without the spacer

[@SteveAtwal]

These are awesome tips! I just got my new Oculus and was having trouble getting it on and off while wearing glasses. Thanks 🙏

[@jimmyjonron1553]

I wear glasses and mine fit *perfectly* into the quest and the glasses spacer is heaven

[@richardmunn3571]

I brought pop on prescription lenses from Adlens. Marvellous. They even reduce god rays and glare.

[@informer]

I’m having the same issue. I just recently started wearing glasses. Like many others the older I get, the weaker my eyes get. My wife has been wearing glasses now for about 2 years. We have your same issue, different prescriptions. I didn’t know about the lens prescription thing for the oculus. I think I will get some for my wife as she uses it more than I do, then later get an oculus for myself and lenses for me. Thanks for the info.

[@Schmacks]

I don’t know for other people, but I have a kind of small head and my glasses are very comfortable to wear in vr, and it is much more immersive because of how less blurry it is :)

[@Schmacks]

@@commonb0x yes that’s what I use :)

[@DragonDoge869]

Thanks so much this makes we so much less worried about ordering mine

[@Aryah.]

Wow thank you for telling me! Getting my Oculus tomorrow and was super worried about this!

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

I just ordered myself a set of prescription lenses for my Quest 2, so that ought to be cool!

Hi! From where did your order them? Thanks!

What do you use your headset for? Traveling in VR on Google maps? Playing some games or whatever? I want to try one but im not sure what im going to do with it))

Just games really, haven't touched it in a while though ... Need to pickup beat sabre again!

[@hereisayana8207]

Thanks for getting to the point and being so clear. Will we still be able to see if we don't wear our glasses with this ? Now I'm concerned that my glasses are too wide also.

[@PsychoticSashimiS]

Huge thanks! Can't wait to buy mine

Thank u so much bro

[@lucasmontec]

That was the best tip ever. Thank you!

I wish it felt as comfortable as the rift s. Guess i'll be ordering the prescription lenses. Just gotta dig out the paperwork from somewhere now.

[@kenbad8271]

Just wanted to say thanks very much for this information my glasses were so uncomfortable so now I know I have to get smaller glasses I have to get new ones anyway so I might as well get them a little smaller. I'm also ordering on eBay America those protectors there are two people offering them and I'm going to buy them to make sure I don't scratch my lenses I'm glad you offer this information because I haven't found anybody else stating it the only thing I found was how to put on the glasses spacer and I knew how to do that but I was having problems with my glasses.

[@StevenKR]

Great video! Totally going to do that for now on. I was also thinking of buying one-day use contacts.

dudeee same im thinking of the lens he mentions so i dont have to wear them

[@squigoul]

@@dragoncrygaming3800 if you can get lens for quest 2 it would be better. i tried mine with my glasses on but they seemed to be too close. even with the added spacer. i think you need more than one spacer tbh. i just use it without glasses which kinda sucks but im fine

[@michaelsiracusa5117]

Thanks for the good tip about glasses. I built my PC with the same case as yours!

[@WinTechUK]

Glad to be of help :) I finally moved my kit into a BeQuiet 500dx last weekend! The HAF 932 did me well though, had it around 10 years I think.

Thank you for this information.

[@jonathankelley6409]

Where can I order the prescription lenses?

[@daltonmartin6241]

Bruh lmfao I didn’t realize that I needed to know this information, I honestly forget half the time that glasses can cause issues some times lmaooo, and half the time I forget that I wear glasses lol

[@WinTechUK]

I didn't realise this video would get as many views as it has! Below are some points I should have made in the video. Everything mentioned here is on top of the standard glasses spacer included in the box, all this does is add a little extra room between your face and the quest lenses but doesn't protect either the quest lenses or the glasses from rubbing against each other. When talking about the lens protectors, I should have pointed out that they are cut into TPU and should not scratch your glasses! I have been using them every day for over a week now and both my glasses, and Quest lenses are scratch free. The glasses that I have been using with the Quest measure 140mm at the widest part, which is just slightly back from the lenses. I have tried out the AMVR lens protectors recommended from a comment on this video and found them to be uncomfortable with them resting on my nose - Review to come on these.

[@arturoruizj.545]

So if you have myopia it affects, I mean, do you really need to wear glasses when using the VR?

[@WinTechUK]

Sadly yes, even though the lens is about 5cm from your face there is some kind of wizardry that happens and everything focuses much further away than that. I believe it's about 5ft, without my glasses I am as blind as a bat.

[@Bossy999]

Do you have to use the glasses spacer cause I might have lost mine...

[@WinTechUK]

@@Bossy999 I would definitely recommend it if you are a glasses user. It gives more room between your face and the Quest lenses. Oculus seem to sell a "Quest 2 replacement kit" which includes the spacer if you can't find yours, it is $19 online.

[@Bossy999]

@@WinTechUK ok thanks

[@GrumpyStoic]

Really good video! Also you're really natural in front of the camera. I'm guessing you either work in front of cameras or are just a confident guy. Either way, good job!

[@ZXaria]

How do you measure your glasses? I use a ruler and go from left to right and up and down and it seems I fit under the maximum confortably enough.

[@scottnp]

[@Jon-vf6qi]

Do you still play with your quest 2 I just got mine

[@gongjiaji2489]

the issue is the rim against the glasses when you put it on. My solution is to put the glasses in the quest first, then put the whole thing on the head, then use the fingers to adjust the position from the gap. The overall experience is rather bad.

[@michaelctouma4662]

Excellent!! Thank you 🙏

[@oligerman3935]

you can get rubber lens protectors from AMVR for about $30, so you don't scratch your headset or glasses

I would like to give you 1000 likes. It is very very helpful!

[@zachgarcia2465]

Informative Video! But, I have a question, some people say that the straps are bad (which I somewhat agree) Do you notice a major difference on how tight it is on your head when you have the glasses? An if the glasses are more towards you face does it put more strain on your eyes?

[@WinTechUK]

I am using an elite strap now. I have been since about a week after I got the quest I think. But generally I do still feel the glasses closer to my face than normal, sometimes I can feel it on my eye lashes, it hasn't caused any strain on my eyes though.

[@A-square8653]

Hi I'm recently using the silicone lens scratch protector, 3d printed one...do I still need to use glasses spacer?

[@WinTechUK]

I would recommend it. The spacer gives more room between the lenses and your glasses, the protector stops them from touching.

[@jeffreydanowitz3083]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Question: do you use both the spacer and the printed lens protectors or just the protectors? To be on the safe side, I got a set of protectors along with the oculus and now I question whether I should use them with the spacer or only either the spacer or the protector. Thanks.

[@WinTechUK]

I use both on mine.

[@jeffreydanowitz3083]

@@WinTechUK honestly- I did not succeed to put on the amvr protector. Putting it on felt like I was going to destroy the lenses. I even saw things on the lenses and got scared and just put the whole thing back in the box. The spacer was a breeze to use. With the elite strap I don’t feel like I’m going to break things. My glasses are small!

[@Bvoswag]

Would saran plastic wrap on the lense help prevent scratches? Seems like it would hm wyt?

[@WinTechUK]

Hmm, it might, or it might just tear. I am too scared to test that one out for you! It might mess with the clarity of the lenses too.

[@kibby3913]

do you think that having glasses on/off change the quality of how games and graphics look? just worried incase i need to purchase perscription lenses or something

[@WinTechUK]

It will depend on your prescription. I need to wear mine while I play but my wife doesn't need hers. I am blind as a bat without mine though.

[@BucifalulR]

You are a genius. Thank you!!

[@Umblizm]

But why are glasses needed for vr? Is it just for people who are far sighted? (or whatever it's called when it gets blurry the closer it gets)

[@WinTechUK]

It's the opposite way around, the way it works is to make you focus around 5ft from your face. So if you need glasses to see 5/6ft away you will need them when using the quest too.

[@HippieP629]

Thanks a lot for this video. Question... I wear the typ. hipster dark frame kind (you can see in my pic). I'm kinda concerned that they won't fit in there. Thoughts?

I bought the OQ2 for my son who must wear glasses, can you direct me to find the insert that gives more space and how does one go about prescription lenses that fit the Quest? Thanks from a confused dad who doesn't wear glasses, I want my son to enjoy his Christmas gift without smashing down on his face. How do you measure glasses?

[@WinTechUK]

Hi Tommy, you get the glasses spacer in the box, this just adds a little more room between your face/glasses and the lenses. You will then want to get either the 3d printed rings that I used in the video or the AMVR lens protectors that have a silicone top layer. There are a lot of options for getting prescription lenses, best bet is to Google "quest 2 prescription lenses" and then compare prices if you have his prescription available. For measuring my glasses I used a tape measure on the widest part, which was the legs just after they left the lenses.

[@Alex-bs9xc]

Its my first time using oculus, and Im afraid to get scratches on my oculus while playing a game (please answer right away)

Thank you.

[@quasarkid6728]

im having trouble getting the focus right with my glasses, centers not bad but gets blurry towards the outside, been fiddling for a bit with it, still no good

[@WinTechUK]

I had that to begin with too. I ended up tightening the strap a little more and adjusting the top strap to have it sitting a little higher on my head. Try tilting the arms up all the way and moving the Quest around without any straps on your head, see if you can find the sweet spot before getting the straps on.

[@kennyk4134]

Tip for you andrew .when in vr focus on the center and look with the headset not your eyes.

Hi, may I know the length and width of your glasses?

They are 140mm at the widest part, which is on the legs just after the lenses and and the longest part is 150mm, which is from the nose ridge to the end of the leg.

Simple solution: Get Lens Inserts. They are made to match your eyeglass prescription and you simply slip them over the lenses in the Quest. And then you don’t need to wear your eyeglasses under your Quest anymore. Do a Google search and you should come across several vendors.

[@WinTechUK]

Hey, I did plan on getting these before the quest even arrived. The problem is that my wife has taken to it now too and uses it just as much as me! I have found a set on Etsy that use magnets so could swap between our prescriptions easily ... Will see how much longer she keeps an interest in it before I make any purchases.
