I used your discount code to buy a pair of lenses from VR ROCK for only $39. I just received them, and I have to say, the lenses are clear, which is exactly what I needed. I'm really happy with my choice!
Very detailed review, thanks. I started to go for the (RELOPTIX), but the shipping cost to the UK was $32, way way too much. I've ordered the VR ROCK (magnetic), a no brainer really, as at the moment they are offering FREE worlwide shipping at (5 to 7 days), can't complain at that.
After checking out prices and designs from these brands, I went with VR Rock. I have -6.00 nearsightedness and -2.00 astigmatism, and the lenses exactly match my prescription. Big thanks for sharing that 10% discount code and price comparison-I definitely got the best deal on these Quest 3 prescription lenses!
Great video . Wish this was out before I ordered some. Which was just last week. I went with the VR-Rock ones without magnets, because I am the only one that uses the headset and they looked the thinnest. Their price was also good with just under $50 for AR and BB.
Hey, are you happy with the quality of the VR Rock lenses? I’m thinking of getting them and I was wondering if the overall image quality and FOV is affected by the lenses
Dude, the chart you made for these is such a kind gesture that gives us a comprehensive and straightforward breakdown. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that, and happy to be a new subscriber.
I got some random chinese made magnetic frames for 5 usd and left the rest to an optical center across the street. (Got some Hoya with coating but not the blue light, I told them I love blue light)
I was wondering why it had so little views, and it looks like it just went live. Perfectly in time. Thank you for the extreme in depth video that helped to understand basically everything. I'm planning to buy Quest 3 really soon, but need the lenses as well, so I was searching for proper guide. Having 6.5+ on one eye and not a lot less on other sucks. Subscribed, and I'm waiting for more amazing videos
Are any of these small enough such that the non-prescription version could be used with glasses? My plan is to buy prescription inserts for myself and non-prescription inserts to protect the lenses when friends use the headset with glasses.
VR wave took me about 20 minutes to install, They had an extremely bad shape and did fall out very easily. The magnets are good but the part that clicks to the VR headset sucks big time. I had to put it in and twist it slightly to get it to stick a little bit and even now and then they wall out. The parts I got were 3d printed and had a lot of defects. Stay away from VR wave! I bought two sets, and both were equally bad!
This is the best and most detailed review of vr-lenses I have ever seen, I'm so glad that I found this. I wasn't thinking off the thickness of the inserts and lenses before I read someone who said that he had to use the space adjuster to use them properly. Thats a big deal if you want to have your FOV as big as possible. It's nice to see them all side by side and hear about your experience. Thank you for this great video!
Thanks for doing this. Your document is way easier than going through the individual websites, and your video shows the thickness of the inserts, which is important for my apparently greasy eyebrows.
I went with Zenni simply because I already order my glasses from there and my prescription was already loaded so it was the quickest lol but I appreciate the comparison made me feel more comfortable with my choice
It's too bad they don't sell magnetic versions. My non-magnetic right Zenni prescription Q3 len's plastic edging already broke on the bottom side. It's a bit annoying having to get them on, where as magnetic inserts/lens would by pass the fiddling! :P
HonsVR didn't have that much spotlight during the video, but their quality is so amazing and they design their lenses based on the community feedback. I'd recommend HonsVR as they also keep their lenses as thin as possible, with no impact in FOV whatsoever. Great video!
I went with Zenni, but I wouldn't mind something thinner, like Hons VR. Are they clip on or do they use magnets? The HonsVR looked even slimmer than the Reloptics in the video too, even though they weren't directly placed side by side.
Thank you for your video. I just got my prescription renewed and wasn't sure which company to go through. Your research and time to put this together, along with your document, were spot on and so very helpful. I ended up going with Reloptix and I really liked how easy it was and to know, "Hey everything was all included." Again Thank you. Just to give an idea of the cost difference with VR-Wave vs reloptix it was $101 USD vs 75.99 USD after your code plus shipping. but the sales tax was included in the price. however, VR-Wave did not include sales Tax, I figure this makes it more than $30.00 USD more for me over the Reloptix lenses. Your mileage will vary depending on what your eyes are like, mine are likely middle-of-the-road bad, halfway to a Coke bottle hahaha.
Great review and info. Thank you! I got the Zennis last Oct when they first came out. They're awesome. Not needing glasses is a game changer--way more comfortable. Wondering: my prescription changed a bit since then, and I just got new glasses (January). Left eye went from CYL -0.75 to -1.00 and AXIS 138 to 130. Is it going to cause issues if my VR lenses don't match my glasses now?
Good to hear you like your lenses! With a mils change like that it shouldn't cause any issues. But I will say some people are sensitive to mild changes like that and could get eye strain or headaches... most people won't notice that much.
Thank you so much. My terrible eyesight has always been a problem. Thick thick lenses and making sure they even fit the frames I want. I decided to try Zenni for glasses just before Covid and they ended up being 200$ a pair. Would've been less than a hundred if it weren't for my bad eyes. I wanted to 3d print Oculus frames some of those Zenni round glasses but never got around to it. Especially not at the cost for my prescription.
Ordered the Zenni but find my brow rubs against the top edges. Doesnt affect sight... just annoying. Ordering HonsVR magnetic to see if they are thinner. This video helped alot. Thanks! 🙏
I thought Quest 3 not having diopters adjustment is a minus, but then I tried AR glasses with diopter adjustment and found it is useless because of my astigmatism. Ordered Hons VR lenses, fits perfectly, clear picture. So prescryption lenses is the only option if you have cylinder around 2.
hons vr i would say has the cheapest plano lenses if your looking to just protect your headset lenses from scratches, i got a pair for my pico 4 for 28 USD
I've bought glasses from Zenni for years. If I trust them on my daily driven glasses, I'll def pick them for my VR too. Especially when they're one of if not the cheapest option out of the bunch and come with all the bells and whistles at no extra cost.
Great review of lenses, thanks! I have -7 SPH on one eye and -2.5 CYL and AXIS of 105 - resulting in thick lenses, looking forward to the way reloptix do it!
Thank you for this! I wear glasses for my PC (my PC with +150) and distance glasses for driving. I took a couple of days of playing with both to figure out I definitely needed to use the distance glasses. This is good information for people. I ordered the Zenni lenses not paying attention to the blue light blocker because my driving glasses don't have that and, except for the bulkiness, don't have a problem without it. I'm glad you confirmed that it wasn't necessary.
I got the Zenni day one and they are very good. I dont share my headset often so i have no need to take them out but i do wish i had the magnetic kind so i could show my wife things more often. They are great lenses but my eyelashes do brush against them a bit. I have come to kind of like the feeling though. Lets me know my lenses are up close and personal lol
Just received my Honsvr lenses and they're perfect! I find just sliding the lenses outword a bit makes it really easy to take off. I just wish there would have been a cleaning cloth included to keep the lenses separated in the carrying case. Other than that, they're super clear, and it's so nice to not have to shove my glasses inside the quest.
Dr.Eye Guy, I am still needing to get a new prescription since haven’t for years. I have been reading comments of getting a 4ft prescription for VR. Is this important and is there anything else I should ask or tell the optometrist when getting my prescription. My main reason for getting a new prescription is for VR use.
None of these extra accessories would even be necessary to allow users to see better if only someone out there could make a VR headset with a FOCUSING KNOB.
It’s not right if you have astigmatism it doesn’t help. Astigmatism is the value with the angle eg 160 degree So I prefer this option as it’s not as bulky
I just put in an order to honsvr for a set of lenses. For my PSVR2. I have worn glasses since I was 15 for nearsightedness. My glasses sit pretty far from my face and this forces me to have the headset pretty far. Unfortunately my glasses did scratch my VR lenses, leading to a tiny blur when playing. I have to look for it to notice it though. Doesn't impact my playing when improving my Pistol Whip high score. The biggest problem is I get a strange light reflection effect. I suspect light from the headset is reflecting off my glasses and reflecting again off the VR lenses. Leading to this strange light effect. I hope these lenses will fix this. I can't wait.
@@AJCoReTV Yes they did. The lenses worked perfectly. Seems I was correct about my glasses causing the reflection issue. I still have the scratch but that's unfixable.
Great stuff man! I wonder, in your opinion, which have the lowest profile in the corner where your nose joins your eyebrows. I get contact pressure right there. I must have some kind of Neanderthal forehead! I tried some hons magnetic with -4.5 prescription. They seemed pretty low profile, but they still touched my brow unless I added eye relief. But the thing that I had the biggest issue with was that the frames reduce the diameter of the quest 3 lenses by 3 to 4 mm. I felt constantly aware of them in my FOV. Not sure if that was my imagination or really a thing.
Thanks for this great review. I ended up purchasing the Honsvr and am completely happy with them visually. They are so easy to remove and replace when I have others use my head-set! Nice packaging and I also purchased the lens cover they sell that slides in head set to protect the lens. I underestimated how much I would like that little thing. It's such a nice extra sense of security knowing the lenses are covered when I am not wearing the set and also keeping dust out with something that fits perfectly.
Great video - thanks so much for this! I had Reloptix for my Quest 2, but was wondering about other brands. Awesome that there are so many good options out there, but I did end up sticking with Reloptix after watching your comments!
I asked my lenses from HONSVR and it took like 1 week to arrive from China to Mexico. They sent it in an envelope so customs did not charge me anything.
After watching your video, I decided to try VR Optician, They shipped out my lenses on the same day I ordered them and 5 days later it’s already at my doorsteps (I’m living in Malaysia if that’s helps) it would have arrive earlier but the shipment reach my Country on the weekend so I had to wait for Monday. The lenses itself is phenomenal, like you said in the video I don’t notice it is there at all, the clarity is top notch and the focus is perfect, I can’t recommend this company enough for anyone who is undecided
@@DrEyeGuyThank you sir! If it's not for your video I wouldn't have made this decision, I'm enjoying my Quest 3 more than before I got them, once again thank you for doing what you do
Very useful, thank you. To me VR Rock looks like a scam. The advertised price is $25. I have a very simple prescription (+1.25) with no CYL or AxS correction yet there was a $9.50 surcharge for each lens. So I went with Zenni for their transparent pricing.
I had Reloptix lenses for my Quest 2 and my Quest 3 lenses arrived today and are perfect. Jason & Will at Reloptix are amazing at what they do for VR users and their Customer Service is second to none. I can't speak highly enough about these guys and will recommend them to everyone!
Thank you o just brought hons mainly cause 1 to 2 days as offspring to others saying 14 plus.. and they had blue, scratch pro, anti glare etc,69$I did use your code thank you again
I just ordered from Reloptix. They were more expensive than the cheapest option Hon VR. Here are two reasons why I chose to pay more. 1. The industrial design of Reloptix is superior. This video made this very clear. 2. Reloptix is an US company. The reduced distance from me will make any follow up, if needed, easier. 3. The difference in the prices between the 2 options is that of the cost of eating 1 lunch outside in a decent restaurant. Well, if there is really a quality difference, then the price of a lunch is somewhat immaterial.
I only spent $39 on the VR ROCK lenses, and my prescription is -3.00 with astigmatism. The price is way better compared to other brands. This purchase was totally worth it!
I can tell reloptix are the best because vrrock are too thick and moves because they are magnetic but reloptix have extra secure to stay still and less thick so maybe they don't get dirt by touching my eyes
I have Reloptix frames for my Quest 2, ordered with your discount code. I couldn't have made a better choice for my headset frames, and if I get a Quest 3, I'll definitely be choosing them again.
Zenni refunded me my money in 1 second after my added my perscription cause its so bad my astigmatism and farsightedness is so bad astigmatism -5.25 both eyes axis 180 and +3.75 farsightedness wish me luck im trying HonsVr next My first vr headset comes this Friday got it for PCVR mostly
For a Quest3, what would be the distance for prescription lenses? I have astigmatism with -1.25 sph at read distance (50-100cm)... this would be a good prescription for VR lenses?
Awesome video, thank you, I have quite bad eyesight, so have a high prescription, I should have watched this video before I ordered mine, I got some from Hons VR, they work well but they seem to fog up really quickly 🙄, it's not my facial interface as it doesn't happen without the lenses
I own my quest3 for half a year now. And i notice that i cant use it longer as an hour cause the pressure on my nose cause of my glasses. Now i must go to a optican first, cause i dont know the exact data of my blindness😅. But why i'm so dam addicted to VR, i need this soft clicking lenses. It must be so comfortable to play without glasses with it....
First i gotta say your chart is insanely helpful. I was leaning towards one brand and then realized a lesser known brand offered for FREE what would have been a costly add on I feel is necessary. Also, I have silhouette glasses. Would those work as well since they are "frameless"? The big fear i have using glasses in VR is the lenses or frames scratching the pancake lenses. what's the possibility of that?
Great review, was really helpful to quickly figure out what options are there and how decent they are. My only feedback is: * Would have been good if you compared the thickness of all options side-by-side. There were times where you compared them, but it was never all of them, just 2 or 3 at a time. * The pricing guide turned out to be less helpful than I thought. I checked out Reloptix first, uploaded my prescription, went to checkout and to my surprise - the cheapest shipping was 75% the cost of the lenses o.0 . Ended up buying the magnetic HonsVR lenses instead, with their faster expedited shipping (7 day delivery to the EU), for a bit over half the price of Reloptix + their cheapest shipping. I feel like Reloptix have moved some of their cost under "shipping" so they look better in comparisons like this. I can't explain why else their shipping costs would be so high.
Thank you for the notes. I will have to look into the shipping costs. I'm not sure if it is based on where you live, or if they have a flat fee shipping. If they have a flat fee... I can see if I can include it in the pricing guide. Thank you!
Hello Dr. EyeGuy! One question. I saw a video from you were you explained that there is a fixed distance in VR (in the quest 2 about 1.3m). So if I type for example -1,5 sph for both eyes when buying the lenses, are those -0,75 sph substracted from my -1,5 sph or are the lenses actually „overcorrected“? You said that someone with -0,75 sph is totally fine that’s why I am asking if they substract this from your actual prescription. Thanks for your great videos !
You are exactly right. They don't subtract this from your prescription, unless you have an add power. Most people don't need it... it would be like looking at a 4 foot target with distance glasses... which most people can do just fine.
Hello Sir, If I don't want the lenses with blue light protection, does the Meta Quest 3 emit strong blue light? Can it damage my eyes if I use it for long periods of time, such as 3 or more hours? Any permanent damage ?
Which lenses have the best anti glare or anti reflective? Cause my zenni's lenses reduce the glare, but still, I still see the blobs of reflectiveness on my lenses. It feels like it's poking my eyes 😂. Do you recommend me the reloptix for anti glare or anti reflectiveness? Please let me know in case if my zenni lenses break I'll look for a different lenses brand for my Meta Quest 3😊
76 bucks for proper prescription lenses seems to good to be true I was going to get a pair but can’t find anywhere that’s selling them cheaper than $180 and that is a rip off I’m better off buying a set of glasses solely for the headset
beside psvr wearing glasses in a VR head set get pretty uncomfortable for me but that because for psvr the headset big enough for your glasses were its not adding to the discomfort
Thanks for a great video. When asking my optimoligist for a RX whst should I ask for? I have near and far sighted. Can I DM you my RX? I got zenni and they were a little blurry. 👍 Thanks
A prescription over a 4 or 5 might be getting a little thick for the lens. Reloptix would be good with that bevel close to the device so you wouldn't be touching the lens. But all of these would be good and do great making your prescription.
I got the reloplix and was very disappointed. They would touch my eyebrows and my nose. They also have a gap between the headset and the prescription making dust and whatnot get underneath it.
have you tried the amvr prescription lenses they offer, their price is super low, but im not sure as theres no reviews on them just a youtube vid from amvr showing them but no reviews.
I got small round Harry Potter style glasses from Zenni for my Quest. Under 20 bucks with anti-glare and worked great. I'm going with the Zenni lenses for the Q3 as I've been a customer of Zenni for at least a decade. And it is very rare that anyone else uses uses my headset so the easiest removal is not a concern. But small glasses are a great solution for anyone who wants a cheap option.
Thanks:) I just wanted to also share that in case of Quest 2 I've used my computer glasses, set for 80cm and they are fine. That makes me suspicious if Quest 2 really simulated 2m viewing ;)
Excellent review thanks. One question i have which i hope you ( or anyone) can answer. The lenses that are magnetic leave the ring permanently attached, if someone else were to use the headset that wore glasses would these rings get in the way ?
@@kevinmeddings749 Marginally less room (most bases insert between the lenses so it remains mostly flush) but with that being said, the glass adjuster in the Q3 is adjustable. I had mine at maximum distance when wearing glasses since I didn't want to accidentally scratch either Q3 or my glasses.
I am wondering, can the AXIS on my Rx change from 165 to 60 in one year? Looking at my two Rx they are nearly the same but that AXIS seems like they should not change that much. I can't order VR Rx until I find out.
That is unusual. A few possibilities why include: -very mild astigmatism... -0.25. -Your rx is written in a different form... there is minus cyl and plus cyl. -it could have been written down wrong. Or maybe you could have has that change caused by some other issues.
@@DrEyeGuy My optometrist replied to a message I sent him, its the different form of the same RX. I looked up my previous Rx for several years on the VA website and it's been pretty steady at 060. It was the outside vendor and using a different format, a minus vs a plus for cylinder. Thanks for the reply, I purchased from Reloptix.

Awesome - I'm glad it could help. It took some time to put that together, so I'm glad it can be useful.
Using the space adjuster will affect your FOV! Thinner lenses mean that you don't need to adjust the headset, in turn giving you wider FOV.
Just got mine today. They’re game changers if you hate wearing glasses in vr!
I went with Zenni simply because I already order my glasses from there and my prescription was already loaded so it was the quickest lol but I appreciate the comparison made me feel more comfortable with my choice

I just got my HonsVR lenses today and I will 2nd this. Absolutely amazing quality. Got from China to Texas in 5 days.
I also highly recommend HonsVr. Bought my lenses for psvr2 and quest 3 and they are amazing.

The biggest problem is I get a strange light reflection effect. I suspect light from the headset is reflecting off my glasses and reflecting again off the VR lenses. Leading to this strange light effect.
I hope these lenses will fix this. I can't wait.
Did they fix your issue?
@@AJCoReTV Yes they did. The lenses worked perfectly. Seems I was correct about my glasses causing the reflection issue. I still have the scratch but that's unfixable.
Great stuff man! I wonder, in your opinion, which have the lowest profile in the corner where your nose joins your eyebrows. I get contact pressure right there. I must have some kind of Neanderthal forehead!
I tried some hons magnetic with -4.5 prescription. They seemed pretty low profile, but they still touched my brow unless I added eye relief. But the thing that I had the biggest issue with was that the frames reduce the diameter of the quest 3 lenses by 3 to 4 mm. I felt constantly aware of them in my FOV. Not sure if that was my imagination or really a thing.
Thanks for this great review. I ended up purchasing the Honsvr and am completely happy with them visually. They are so easy to remove and replace when I have others use my head-set! Nice packaging and I also purchased the lens cover they sell that slides in head set to protect the lens. I underestimated how much I would like that little thing. It's such a nice extra sense of security knowing the lenses are covered when I am not wearing the set and also keeping dust out with something that fits perfectly.
Great video - thanks so much for this! I had Reloptix for my Quest 2, but was wondering about other brands. Awesome that there are so many good options out there, but I did end up sticking with Reloptix after watching your comments!
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for.
I asked my lenses from HONSVR and it took like 1 week to arrive from China to Mexico. They sent it in an envelope so customs did not charge me anything.
After watching your video, I decided to try VR Optician, They shipped out my lenses on the same day I ordered them and 5 days later it’s already at my doorsteps (I’m living in Malaysia if that’s helps) it would have arrive earlier but the shipment reach my Country on the weekend so I had to wait for Monday. The lenses itself is phenomenal, like you said in the video I don’t notice it is there at all, the clarity is top notch and the focus is perfect, I can’t recommend this company enough for anyone who is undecided
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
@@DrEyeGuyThank you sir! If it's not for your video I wouldn't have made this decision, I'm enjoying my Quest 3 more than before I got them, once again thank you for doing what you do
Very useful, thank you. To me VR Rock looks like a scam. The advertised price is $25. I have a very simple prescription (+1.25) with no CYL or AxS correction yet there was a $9.50 surcharge for each lens. So I went with Zenni for their transparent pricing.
Just bought some Reloptix with your code.
I have a -4.50 cyl which isn't even supported by Zenni or a lot of others so glad I found this video. :D
I had Reloptix lenses for my Quest 2 and my Quest 3 lenses arrived today and are perfect. Jason & Will at Reloptix are amazing at what they do for VR users and their Customer Service is second to none. I can't speak highly enough about these guys and will recommend them to everyone!
Awesome! Thank you for commenting.
just wondering never used that VR headset .... How many hours of exposure is harmful ?????? regards...
Thanks for the detailed review! Very clear comparison for all the options. I have ordered mine!
Thank you o just brought hons mainly cause 1 to 2 days as offspring to others saying 14 plus.. and they had blue, scratch pro, anti glare etc,69$I did use your code thank you again
I just ordered from Reloptix. They were more expensive than the cheapest option Hon VR. Here are two reasons why I chose to pay more.
1. The industrial design of Reloptix is superior. This video made this very clear.
2. Reloptix is an US company. The reduced distance from me will make any follow up, if needed, easier.
3. The difference in the prices between the 2 options is that of the cost of eating 1 lunch outside in a decent restaurant. Well, if there is really a quality difference, then the price of a lunch is somewhat immaterial.
what to do if the Quest 3's lens itself get's scratched? how to fix that?
If you are under warranty request RMA if it impairs your vision and you can’t enjoy the device.
Ok, I've seen excuses to justify buying a gaming system to the wife, but this was a great one.
I only spent $39 on the VR ROCK lenses, and my prescription is -3.00 with astigmatism. The price is way better compared to other brands. This purchase was totally worth it!
I can tell reloptix are the best because vrrock are too thick and moves because they are magnetic but reloptix have extra secure to stay still and less thick so maybe they don't get dirt by touching my eyes
Good job making this informative video, thx and my best regards 🎉.
I have Reloptix frames for my Quest 2, ordered with your discount code. I couldn't have made a better choice for my headset frames, and if I get a Quest 3, I'll definitely be choosing them again.
Hi! Would you say that -4 is high and worth going for realoptik? 👀 great vid!
Given the distance focus, is there no point to include ADD power in these lenses?
Great video, TY.
Zenni refunded me my money in 1 second after my added my perscription cause its so bad my astigmatism and farsightedness is so bad astigmatism -5.25 both eyes axis 180 and +3.75 farsightedness wish me luck im trying HonsVr next My first vr headset comes this Friday got it for PCVR mostly
For a Quest3, what would be the distance for prescription lenses? I have astigmatism with -1.25 sph at read distance (50-100cm)... this would be a good prescription for VR lenses?
Awesome video, thank you, I have quite bad eyesight, so have a high prescription, I should have watched this video before I ordered mine, I got some from Hons VR, they work well but they seem to fog up really quickly 🙄, it's not my facial interface as it doesn't happen without the lenses
I own my quest3 for half a year now. And i notice that i cant use it longer as an hour cause the pressure on my nose cause of my glasses.
Now i must go to a optican first, cause i dont know the exact data of my blindness😅.
But why i'm so dam addicted to VR, i need this soft clicking lenses. It must be so comfortable to play without glasses with it....
First i gotta say your chart is insanely helpful. I was leaning towards one brand and then realized a lesser known brand offered for FREE what would have been a costly add on I feel is necessary. Also, I have silhouette glasses. Would those work as well since they are "frameless"? The big fear i have using glasses in VR is the lenses or frames scratching the pancake lenses. what's the possibility of that?
Fine job; very professional & relevant. Thank's! 👌
I used your code along with A black Friday deal to get VRWave Quest 3 lenses, just got my Quest 3
Great review, was really helpful to quickly figure out what options are there and how decent they are. My only feedback is:
* Would have been good if you compared the thickness of all options side-by-side. There were times where you compared them, but it was never all of them, just 2 or 3 at a time.
* The pricing guide turned out to be less helpful than I thought. I checked out Reloptix first, uploaded my prescription, went to checkout and to my surprise - the cheapest shipping was 75% the cost of the lenses o.0 . Ended up buying the magnetic HonsVR lenses instead, with their faster expedited shipping (7 day delivery to the EU), for a bit over half the price of Reloptix + their cheapest shipping. I feel like Reloptix have moved some of their cost under "shipping" so they look better in comparisons like this. I can't explain why else their shipping costs would be so high.
Thank you for the notes. I will have to look into the shipping costs. I'm not sure if it is based on where you live, or if they have a flat fee shipping. If they have a flat fee... I can see if I can include it in the pricing guide. Thank you!
Hello Dr. EyeGuy! One question. I saw a video from you were you explained that there is a fixed distance in VR (in the quest 2 about 1.3m). So if I type for example -1,5 sph for both eyes when buying the lenses, are those -0,75 sph substracted from my -1,5 sph or are the lenses actually „overcorrected“? You said that someone with -0,75 sph is totally fine that’s why I am asking if they substract this from your actual prescription. Thanks for your great videos !
You are exactly right. They don't subtract this from your prescription, unless you have an add power. Most people don't need it... it would be like looking at a 4 foot target with distance glasses... which most people can do just fine.
Hello Sir,
If I don't want the lenses with blue light protection, does the Meta Quest 3 emit strong blue light? Can it damage my eyes if I use it for long periods of time, such as 3 or more hours? Any permanent damage ?
Brilliant! Thanks very much for a clear and concise outline of the various options. Double thumbs up 🙂
Which lenses have the best anti glare or anti reflective? Cause my zenni's lenses reduce the glare, but still, I still see the blobs of reflectiveness on my lenses. It feels like it's poking my eyes 😂. Do you recommend me the reloptix for anti glare or anti reflectiveness? Please let me know in case if my zenni lenses break I'll look for a different lenses brand for my Meta Quest 3😊
76 bucks for proper prescription lenses seems to good to be true I was going to get a pair but can’t find anywhere that’s selling them cheaper than $180 and that is a rip off I’m better off buying a set of glasses solely for the headset
beside psvr
wearing glasses in a VR head set
get pretty uncomfortable for me
but that because for psvr the headset big enough for your
glasses were its not adding to the discomfort
Thanks for a great video. When asking my optimoligist for a RX whst should I ask for? I have near and far sighted. Can I DM you my RX? I got zenni and they were a little blurry. 👍 Thanks
You want to submit your distance RX when ordering VR lenses.
I got mine from Vr Optiker
Made in Germany
which do you recommend for -5.6?
and trying to keep it cheap?
thanks
A prescription over a 4 or 5 might be getting a little thick for the lens. Reloptix would be good with that bevel close to the device so you wouldn't be touching the lens. But all of these would be good and do great making your prescription.
I got the reloplix and was very disappointed. They would touch my eyebrows and my nose. They also have a gap between the headset and the prescription making dust and whatnot get underneath it.
Thank you so much, the table comparison is so useful!
I wear one contact lens on my right eye for distance vision. Is this adequate for VR play, or would the two prescription lenses make it clearer?
1st time getting into the VR, can you tell me which model that is from frame of choice. They have so many different ones. Thank you.
Can you or did you tried the voy lens / glasses ? They say that you can change the correction yourself but i cant find any review
Thanks
Received the ordered lenses today, but sadly one lens seems to be wrong (very bad vision)...
have you tried the amvr prescription lenses they offer, their price is super low, but im not sure as theres no reviews on them just a youtube vid from amvr showing them but no reviews.
I got small round Harry Potter style glasses from Zenni for my Quest. Under 20 bucks with anti-glare and worked great. I'm going with the Zenni lenses for the Q3 as I've been a customer of Zenni for at least a decade. And it is very rare that anyone else uses uses my headset so the easiest removal is not a concern. But small glasses are a great solution for anyone who wants a cheap option.
Good tip! Thanks for sharing!
Do one for the Meta Ray Ban smart glasses, and it'll blow up.
Why is the reloptix case so big? Looks like a tackle box.
Class of 2012, SCCO! Way to go, Neil!
Hey! Thanks! Who is this?? 😄
I'm torn between VR optician (€109) and VR-rock (€40). Also I'm in Europe so there will be extra import taxes.
Should I use distance prescription or prescription for 2m? (I'm after cataracts so no accommodation). I think quest 2 was set at 2m
If your eye doc gave you a prescription for 2m, you can use that for sure. Good question.
@@DrEyeGuyWouldn't that be just distance modified by 0.5D?:)
Yes... +0.50
Thanks:)
I just wanted to also share that in case of Quest 2 I've used my computer glasses, set for 80cm and they are fine. That makes me suspicious if Quest 2 really simulated 2m viewing ;)
Excellent review thanks. One question i have which i hope you ( or anyone) can answer. The lenses that are magnetic leave the ring permanently attached, if someone else were to use the headset that wore glasses would these rings get in the way ?
That's the brilliant part of the design - non-glass wearers have no idea the rings are even there when they put on the headset.
@@WorknTheVerse I meant is there less room. Thanks for replying
@@kevinmeddings749 Marginally less room (most bases insert between the lenses so it remains mostly flush) but with that being said, the glass adjuster in the Q3 is adjustable. I had mine at maximum distance when wearing glasses since I didn't want to accidentally scratch either Q3 or my glasses.
What I care about the most is which one is thinnest among all the options for say a -3?
Do you want a magnetic design or click in design?
@@DrEyeGuythanks for the reply, both are fine, which ever is thinnest!
What is High for you? i have -5.50 / 4.75
Waiting on my Reloptix lenses. Ordered shortly before Christmas, it was cool to see the breakdown in this video.
Thank you so much for this informative video!
Nice comparison. Thanks!
I am wondering, can the AXIS on my Rx change from 165 to 60 in one year? Looking at my two Rx they are nearly the same but that AXIS seems like they should not change that much. I can't order VR Rx until I find out.
That is unusual. A few possibilities why include: -very mild astigmatism... -0.25. -Your rx is written in a different form... there is minus cyl and plus cyl. -it could have been written down wrong. Or maybe you could have has that change caused by some other issues.
@@DrEyeGuy My optometrist replied to a message I sent him, its the different form of the same RX. I looked up my previous Rx for several years on the VA website and it's been pretty steady at 060. It was the outside vendor and using a different format, a minus vs a plus for cylinder. Thanks for the reply, I purchased from Reloptix.
my eyes are not that bad, i have -0.5, on both eye, so do i need them?
I got magnetic VR Rock lenses for my psvr 2 with anti-glare and blue light filter. Excellent quality and would recommend
Thanks for sharing! I was hoping people would share their experiences with the lenses they have been using.
