VR headset for people with glasses? (lemmy.world)

A few years back I got my brother's old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don't fit inside the headset and I'm not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).

Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it's the playstation one i wouldn't mind getting a ps5, I'm really open to suggestions.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I took some of these from VR Optician as a workaround.

Perfect for me and a lot better comfort then cramping the glasses into the headgear.

Ohhh interesting, are they easy to add and remove frequently?

At least on my Rift they are. I just remove the cover lens and stick the others on.

To protect the main lense they added cover lenses on the Rift.

Sweet! Sounds easy enough if I want to share with someone. Looks like they have options for a ton of different headsets, now I'll just have to figure out whether I want to upgrade first. Thank you 😊

Just a tip:

It is your far distance prescription (not your reading or PC prescription) as the headsets focus is set to 2 meters or higher.

Good one! I'll be sure to double check when I dig up my prescription from... some box I still need to unpack.
