I've ALWAYS used a compressed air gun ($50 on Amazon and way cheaper than constantly buying cans) and a Lenspen. Lenspens are fantastic, and made specifically for delicate lenses. They actually created a VR lenspen, which is even better. Just do not buy any knock off versions. Micro fiber is nice, but the chance of something being on the cloth still scares me
My headset had a thin but noticeably visible hair between screen and lens right from the beginning. So I send the headset back and now I’m waiting for the return of a proper headset again.
+1 for lens pen. Sweat crystallises when it dries and any type of rubbing can scratch the surface. Better to brush all that off beforehand, quite often brushing is all that's needed. Wish I'd known this with my first PSVR (which had a very fragile anti reflective coating).
Be careful with liquids. We don't know how well Sony have sealed the units, so liquids could potentially leak between the layers. Some have returned their PSVR2's for a replacement because of adhesive stuck to the lens between layers, which would suggest that the manufacturing does not have the best quality control.
Dust particles are of no concern, they are too fine and soft to cause any damage. Just use the old trick of cleaning any glass surface. Breathe some moist warm vapour with your breath onto the lenses and then wipe quickly with a microfiber cloth. Done!
That is not the way to clean them. If any liquid gets behind the lens, especially liquid from the mouth that contains microbes can easily become a problem and once behind the lens then you can't do anything about it
@@videogamer38 You are funny. 1. You don't have to spit any "liquid from your mouth" onto the lenses. 2. Nothing will get "behind the lens" because the moisture from your breath evaporates in 2 seconds, and even if it did somehow, the fan inside the headset would dry that just as quickly. 3. If you watched the disassembly of the PSVR2 headset you would know the lenses are sealed to the holder rings, making sure no dust, moisture or "microbes" get behind them. So do your research and think before writing such silly things.
@@mr.pblivin1386 You may be OK for some time but because the "soft" fabric is not microfiber it will start leaving tiny scratches which overtime will build up and ruin the surface of the lens. No problem with glass but with plastic you need microfiber.
I use the microfiber cloth (small glasses cloth) + Anti-reflex lens cleaner (no alcohol) circle motions medium streanth and my quest 2 lens is in great condition after 2 years

@@xJay2002 i have the same smudge that just won’t go away and I did return my headset on the 23 of february but the retailer said everything works fine. I just didn’t find the sweet spot. While wearing the headset I just notice the mura effect and not the smudges but that’s normal. At least now that I wear it correctly it looks very good in the center of the screen. Just foveated rendering doesn’t seem to work, it only sharpens whatever is in the center. Maybe the new update fixes something.
@@Superhyuman oh okay. Ya I thought I was the only one that felt like foveated rendering/eye tracking didn’t really work and that it’s only sharp in the Center, not where you look which it should be if eye tracking and foveated rendering was working correctly. Really hoping it improves because this was a big feature for me and kinda disappointed since it doesn’t seem to be working or at least not as good as I thought it would be. But still gotta use the psvr 2 a little more to make a proper conclusion.
Hello Do anyone know Wher to get the refill powder for the lenspen not the tips or pads that are available but only the cheaper invisible version of the powder that's in the newest original lenspens, I think it's a wast to buy anytime a new lenspen instead to buy refill powders lije it's for laser printers with toners paint ? 🤔
From the manual: General warning: "Do not use thinner, benzine, or alcohol. Avoid using wipes, chemically treated cloths, and other products that contain such substances." For cleaning lenses: "Wipe only with a soft, dry cloth, made specifically for cleaning lenses."
I just knew i shouldn't of used sandpaper🤦♂
😂😂😂
@@PolishPaulVR Paul, you saved him from using sandpaper!
What's the best grit? I tried 40 grit.

Yeah Lense pen works a treat. Crystal clean.
i remember watching you on the psvr, when you were working on firewall. love your vids

I'm very gentle with mine. I use special lens cleaning solution and cloth everytime, and they seem to stay clean pretty long :)
I'd recommend taking the light shield off before doing any of these steps, giving you better access to the lenses

Yeah I was same with my first PSVR1
Good idea as the black really can collect specks. Sharing people dandruff and face skin - whats not to love.
been using kimtech wipes and distilled water to clean my psvr2 lenses, which i use to clean microscope lenses typically.

Haha thanks
Thanks for the tips! 👍
Hama lens cleaning pen. Far better and safer for your lenses than any liquid or microfiber cloth.

@@mitcherny6965 could I just use a soft t-shirt (I usually do this but I heard the lenses were sensitive)

I got a lens blower already… but it’s not for blowing dust off the lenses.😂
😂😂😂
What's it for then ?
Is your name Len ?
I guess I have a lens blower in my bathroom 😂
Just blow gently and rub gently is the same for psvr2 and for girlfriend!
I laughed too much at this comment lol

I used a cleaner for contact lenses befpre watching this video, will it demage the lenses?
It should be alright, but I wouldn't use it again
I feel like there is a small smudge/grey cloud behind my lenses that won’t come off. Any idea what that may be?
If it's behind lense then you might have to contact Sony support
@@PolishPaulVRI got it from GameStop, you think they would repair it or give me a new headset?

TIP: hold the headset vertically above your head and blow into it. This allows the dust to escape (back on to your face to be specific lol)
Can the lenses be replaced?
I'm not sure
Probably from Sony only.
The lenses feel like they move alittle but not alot ,is that normal ?,I'm very light when I clean them
I hce to wear glasses but for some reason I find that the le des get dirty when I use them, any tip on how to mitigate it
No idea, maybe get prescription lenses for PSVR2

We all know what you mean Paul 😉 keep going on - i‘am your biggest Fan .. and my best friend is also from Poland (Opole) 👍 kocham cie ❤️
I don't speak no langinjess.....
zeiss wipes
is this safe? i really need a bit wet cloth, dryclean is not doing the job for oil. its like fingerprint on your reading glasses
@@solo.32 considering people use them on camera lenses that cost thousands and Zeiss are one of the top lens manufacturers in the world. I'd say so.
@@daveleebond i legit thought about this earlier👍🏼 them lenses are worth 2 to 3x the ps5 price. good thought, good thought.
