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!
My prescription’s pretty high too, almost the same as yours. I just went through all the sites, and vr rock has the best price. I’m going with the same choice as you.
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!
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’ve been using VR ROCK lenses for over half a year now.Thanks for the recommendation, since getting these lenses, I’ve been using my VR headset a lot more, It used to collect dust because wearing frame glasses. I added a blue light filter, so it helps protect my eyes as well.
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
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
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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'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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 so much for this. I'm pretty picky when it comes to all things optics/display, and my thick-framed glasses are just not working with the Q3. They get tilted up/down which distorts everything and gives me a piercing headache the next day. This video is by far the most informative source I've found on lens inserts.
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 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)
This helped! I have a really bad right eye. Reloptix is the only one that would create my prescription. Even then, it took them extra time. The wait was worth it, though. They're excellent. I wish I had bought them when I first got my Quest 3.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
Wow! What an incredibly helpful video. Thank you for all the thoughtfulness, care, and effort. Your attention to detail is incredible. I learned a lot and you answered most of my questions, including my very particular ones having to do with my very fiddly and particular vision. Thank you so much!
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.
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.
VRoptician supports Rift S, the only other was vr-lens-lab. The former from Germany and Latter from Thailand. I placed my order today for 65 dollars US total. Thanks for the discount. I only have to wait a few weeks from Germany to see the final results.
Just got my VR Rock and I'm very, very impressed. I paid $75 with shipping. Ordered on June 10th, received June 18th. I had Rx lenses for Q2, which I don't recall. These are far superior. Easy installation, no more contacts or glasses, and I keep loving my Q3 more every day. Now, I just need the right earphones. Go with VR Rock if you wear corrective lenses and you love VR.

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 was not aware that there are multiple companies making the lenses… so I bought Zenni lenses - they delivered high speed within 3 business days to Germany - I put them in on May 17th 24 and was happy. Never rook them out. While putting on the quest yesterday, i saw that both frames are broken through completely - one even in two places. Reached out to their support e-mail and they will send replacements… for free. will keep you posted…
ok, already got the Fedex shipping tracking number - only 24h + a few minutes after I had written my e-mail to their support - again - they shine with VERY high speed
Thank you for the useful review. I have just ordered the HonsVr, mostly because they do my high script, free deliver to Australia and the company reviews are extremely good. I was interested in the Reloptix, but they are bit dearer and then charge another $60 AUD for delivery to Australia.
Just used your discount code thanks for the great review. I have had a quest 2 and quest 3. I have always wondered if I needed glasses in VR. Didn't realise the golf balls has dimples on walkabout mini golf. Pretty excited this is going to be like upgrading to a new generation of headset lmao
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
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.
Awesome video, useful comparison for what is otherwise a nightmare to get a full review and comparison for. In the UK so decided to go with HonsVR as they end up being half the price of the Reloptix after shipping is accounted for. Fingers crossed they'll work beautifully.
Got zenni last year personally i like them but next pair i will see who is the cheapest as they all seem like a good choice but any recommendations would be greatfull.
Great comparison and thanks for the buying guide! So, are these Quest 3 Reloptix lenses as comfortable as the thinnest smallest lenses, without digging into your nose like the magnetic mounts did on the Quest 2? Is the size and quality similar to VR Optician lenses, which seem to be the thinnest in this list and are said to use German Zeiss lenses?
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.
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?
just ordered my VR optician Lenses took 3 days for them to process my order and ship hopefully they are top quality i look forward to receiving them next week only $91
I have the Zenni lenses, which have glare reduction coating. I have slight correction for distance. I find when I'm watching videos with dark backgrounds (i.e. like shows in space environments e.g. Halo) that there seems to be a reflection, or glare, on the lenses that reduces the resolution. I have to adjust the headset carefully as there appears to be a sweet spot in the lenses where the reflection is reduced. If I take the lenses out, the problem goes away but of course I lose the benefit of the correction. I was wondering if you would compare the preformance of the lenses in high and low contrast environments to see which lense performs best? I would think that a lense that comes closer to the quest lense, like the reloptix, would perhaps reduce that glare? Thank for the excellent comparison. Very helpful!
What focal distance are we aiming for with our prescription. I know the image is right in front of your eyes but I've heard VR images typically have a simulated focal distance of about 1.5 meters. That's right between my distance and reading prescriptions. I know you said distance in the video, but wouldn't it be better to target the prescription to the 1.5 meters?
Just looking at the options for Australia, where shipping is a make or break on these kind of items. One of the cheaper options has $30 USD to $51 USD postage. Haven't seen any local Asia Pacific / Chinese companies, but i'll keep an eye out (hah), as I expect a few of the Quest 2/PSVR2 and Pico/Vive lens companies to add Quest 3 lens frame/inserts, or alternatives like wire frames and thin lenses. I'd also probably look at some of the forums/reddit to see what the delivery times are like too. VR optician, Zenni seems to be the most practical/cheaper delivery option, around $USD 80 total. Hons VR looks to be a good choice too. One of the notable options was the VR lens lab "zoom" or aspheric matching. Not sure what effect 7-14% FOV stretch would have, but it seemed interesting and not discussed. Reloptix shipping wasn't good ($120 USD) leaning towards the VR optician based on the clip and tab, but the Zenni looks neat/clean. I could also get Rx for the PSVR2 eventually, so I'll probably do more research on the better deal(s) and shipping times. Having said all that ... after dragging out my Rx, It's been 2+ years since I got my current glasses, so, I might just head back and get my script checked before ordering, and I've also forgotten my IPD.
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.
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 just ordered the Reloptix lenses for a not-yet-purchased Quest 3. Please note that the price has increased to $79.99. So, with your discount, it was $75.99.
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 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.
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😊
I loved Reloptix for the Q2 but I'll try going with HonsVR this time for my new Q3. Mainly because they have cheaper shipping that Reloptix to my country
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?
I got my Quest 2 lenses from VR Optician. The price was good ($88 with shipping), and I figured the snap-on design would take up the least space. (I have extremely long eyelashes.) I've been pretty happy with them, but I've noticed that the lenses now pop out, pretty easily. They've never come out during a gaming session, though, so as long as I leave them attached, it's not a problem.
Getting my first vr headset soon so I’m not sure if there’s a reason for this, but why are you taking them out after gaming sessions? Because others who don’t need them use the headset as well? Do you think yours got loose over time from constantly being clicked in and removed? Do you think if I left the VR Optician lenses permanently installed that it wouldn’t get loose over time?
@@zenna5062 They weren't constantly removed and inserted. I removed them once, for another player who didn't need corrective lenses. Reinstalling them was a lot more challenging than I expected.
Nice vid, i have zenni lenses in my quest 3 but I think i may end up just using glasses when i update my prescription cause i find it annoying when i need to take off my headset for a short period to read something and i need to put on my glasses.
Looking at getting lens inserts, do you know if I should be using the Rx from my glasses or contacts if my contacts are a slightly weaker Rx? I know some applications it's safer to use a slightly weaker Rx but not sure if VR is one of those.
I have been using VR Lenslab's frame for a while since I can keep wearing it as my daily glasses. The build quality isn't that great though. I wonder if other brands offer similar product at better quality.
Thanks for the valuable information! Wondering about the right prescription for working in VR. I use Immersed a lot in my MQ2 on virtual desktops and in the AVP I also felt like I was focusing closer vs in the distance. Is distance always the right choice?
What a great video! A question if you happen to see this sir, I can't see clearly near or far. Are you saying I should use my far sight prescription? Thanks again for the very helpful video.
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.

"Use your distance prescription." That's what I needed to know.
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.
Awesome comment. Thanks for mentioning the sales tax. I forgot to mention that in my video. I may update my chart document for that. Thank you!
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.
Thank you for sharing!
Just got mine today. They’re game changers if you hate wearing glasses in vr!
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
Thanks for this vid ! Just ordered magnetic Hons VR , they are on a very good sale now. Cant wait.
Thanks for the detailed review! Very clear comparison for all the options. I have ordered mine!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this. I'm pretty picky when it comes to all things optics/display, and my thick-framed glasses are just not working with the Q3. They get tilted up/down which distorts everything and gives me a piercing headache the next day. This video is by far the most informative source I've found on lens inserts.
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!
Waiting on my Reloptix lenses. Ordered shortly before Christmas, it was cool to see the breakdown in this video.
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)
Thanks for the discount code. VR Rock’s coupon was only 5% off and yours is 10% off. I’m glad I watched this before I ordered.
This helped! I have a really bad right eye. Reloptix is the only one that would create my prescription. Even then, it took them extra time. The wait was worth it, though. They're excellent. I wish I had bought them when I first got my Quest 3.
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you. I am very honored you would do that.
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.
That's what I plan to do. Not just for other glasses wearers, but to protect the headset lenses from dust and other people's eyelash grease.
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!
Comprehensive and straight to the point. 100/10 review!
Thank you!
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.
Great info breakdown. Thanks for the comparison spreadsheet.
Thank you! I'm glad it could be helpful.
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
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!
Let me know how you like them!
Thank you!! This is exactly the info I was looking for.
Glad I could help!
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 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.
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.
Wow! What an incredibly helpful video. Thank you for all the thoughtfulness, care, and effort. Your attention to detail is incredible. I learned a lot and you answered most of my questions, including my very particular ones having to do with my very fiddly and particular vision. Thank you so much!
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.
I did ordered on VR Wave using your code. Thanks. Now I wait for delivery in Romania
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!
Thank you so much, the table comparison is so useful!
VRoptician supports Rift S, the only other was vr-lens-lab. The former from Germany and Latter from Thailand. I placed my order today for 65 dollars US total. Thanks for the discount. I only have to wait a few weeks from Germany to see the final results.
Just got my VR Rock and I'm very, very impressed. I paid $75 with shipping. Ordered on June 10th, received June 18th. I had Rx lenses for Q2, which I don't recall. These are far superior. Easy installation, no more contacts or glasses, and I keep loving my Q3 more every day. Now, I just need the right earphones. Go with VR Rock if you wear corrective lenses and you love VR. Outstanding product and value. 5-stars!

Given the distance focus, is there no point to include ADD power in these lenses?
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 was not aware that there are multiple companies making the lenses…
so I bought Zenni lenses
- they delivered high speed within 3 business days to Germany - I put them in on May 17th 24 and was happy. Never rook them out.
While putting on the quest yesterday, i saw that both frames are broken through completely - one even in two places.
Reached out to their support e-mail and they will send replacements… for free. will keep you posted…
Thank you for sharing! I'm curious to what happened to the lenses. Hopefully the new lenses will be great.
@@DrEyeGuy yeah hope so too… - will keep y’all posted
ok, already got the Fedex shipping tracking number - only 24h + a few minutes after I had written my e-mail to their support - again - they shine with VERY high speed
Brilliant! Thanks very much for a clear and concise outline of the various options. Double thumbs up 🙂
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for.
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.
Thank you for the useful review. I have just ordered the HonsVr, mostly because they do my high script, free deliver to Australia and the company reviews are extremely good. I was interested in the Reloptix, but they are bit dearer and then charge another $60 AUD for delivery to Australia.
Just used your discount code thanks for the great review. I have had a quest 2 and quest 3. I have always wondered if I needed glasses in VR. Didn't realise the golf balls has dimples on walkabout mini golf. Pretty excited this is going to be like upgrading to a new generation of headset lmao
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
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.
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!
Awesome video, useful comparison for what is otherwise a nightmare to get a full review and comparison for.
In the UK so decided to go with HonsVR as they end up being half the price of the Reloptix after shipping is accounted for.
Fingers crossed they'll work beautifully.
I have the Hons one just for protection its called plano lenses i think.
@@blackstaarx2824 nice, do you find they impact how close you can get or the FOV at all?
Got zenni last year personally i like them but next pair i will see who is the cheapest as they all seem like a good choice but any recommendations would be greatfull.
That chart helped so much, thank you
I used your code along with A black Friday deal to get VRWave Quest 3 lenses, just got my Quest 3
Super helpful video, thank you. I’m a retired Optician and just about to purchase the Quest 3. Thanks for your efforts! 👍🙏
i got zenni lenses, my prescription is kinda high, should i get anti fog or anti oil?
Great comparison and thanks for the buying guide!
So, are these Quest 3 Reloptix lenses as comfortable as the thinnest smallest lenses, without digging into your nose like the magnetic mounts did on the Quest 2? Is the size and quality similar to VR Optician lenses, which seem to be the thinnest in this list and are said to use German Zeiss lenses?
My nose doesn't notice that the Reloptix lenses are there.
Just ordered HonsVR magnetic - paid extra for the Lens Cover, with discount = $59 🎉 thank you!!
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.
Yes, talk with your eye doctor. They should be able to write you a specific prescription for 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?
just ordered my VR optician Lenses took 3 days for them to process my order and ship hopefully they are top quality i look forward to receiving them next week only $91
Class of 2012, SCCO! Way to go, Neil!
Hey! Thanks! Who is this?? 😄
Hi! Would you say that -4 is high and worth going for realoptik? 👀 great vid!
I have the Zenni lenses, which have glare reduction coating. I have slight correction for distance. I find when I'm watching videos with dark backgrounds (i.e. like shows in space environments e.g. Halo) that there seems to be a reflection, or glare, on the lenses that reduces the resolution. I have to adjust the headset carefully as there appears to be a sweet spot in the lenses where the reflection is reduced. If I take the lenses out, the problem goes away but of course I lose the benefit of the correction. I was wondering if you would compare the preformance of the lenses in high and low contrast environments to see which lense performs best? I would think that a lense that comes closer to the quest lense, like the reloptix, would perhaps reduce that glare? Thank for the excellent comparison. Very helpful!
What focal distance are we aiming for with our prescription. I know the image is right in front of your eyes but I've heard VR images typically have a simulated focal distance of about 1.5 meters. That's right between my distance and reading prescriptions. I know you said distance in the video, but wouldn't it be better to target the prescription to the 1.5 meters?
Just looking at the options for Australia, where shipping is a make or break on these kind of items. One of the cheaper options has $30 USD to $51 USD postage. Haven't seen any local Asia Pacific / Chinese companies, but i'll keep an eye out (hah), as I expect a few of the Quest 2/PSVR2 and Pico/Vive lens companies to add Quest 3 lens frame/inserts, or alternatives like wire frames and thin lenses. I'd also probably look at some of the forums/reddit to see what the delivery times are like too.
VR optician, Zenni seems to be the most practical/cheaper delivery option, around $USD 80 total. Hons VR looks to be a good choice too. One of the notable options was the VR lens lab "zoom" or aspheric matching. Not sure what effect 7-14% FOV stretch would have, but it seemed interesting and not discussed. Reloptix shipping wasn't good ($120 USD)
leaning towards the VR optician based on the clip and tab, but the Zenni looks neat/clean. I could also get Rx for the PSVR2 eventually, so I'll probably do more research on the better deal(s) and shipping times.
Having said all that ... after dragging out my Rx, It's been 2+ years since I got my current glasses, so, I might just head back and get my script checked before ordering, and I've also forgotten my IPD.
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.
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.
I just ordered the Reloptix lenses for a not-yet-purchased Quest 3. Please note that the price has increased to $79.99. So, with your discount, it was $75.99.
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
Great video, very informative and helpful. Thank you very much for all the research and testing.
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?
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.
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😊
I loved Reloptix for the Q2 but I'll try going with HonsVR this time for my new Q3. Mainly because they have cheaper shipping that Reloptix to my country
Thank you so much for this informative video!
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?
I got my Quest 2 lenses from VR Optician. The price was good ($88 with shipping), and I figured the snap-on design would take up the least space. (I have extremely long eyelashes.) I've been pretty happy with them, but I've noticed that the lenses now pop out, pretty easily. They've never come out during a gaming session, though, so as long as I leave them attached, it's not a problem.
Isn't HonsVR still a little smaller than VR Optician? I'm not sure though.
@@Lupain I don't recall checking them out.
@@stephenriggs8177 Ah damn, I am really tear apart between VROpician and HonVR. Thank you anyway :)
Getting my first vr headset soon so I’m not sure if there’s a reason for this, but why are you taking them out after gaming sessions? Because others who don’t need them use the headset as well?
Do you think yours got loose over time from constantly being clicked in and removed? Do you think if I left the VR Optician lenses permanently installed that it wouldn’t get loose over time?
@@zenna5062 They weren't constantly removed and inserted. I removed them once, for another player who didn't need corrective lenses. Reinstalling them was a lot more challenging than I expected.
Good job making this informative video, thx and my best regards 🎉.
Nice vid, i have zenni lenses in my quest 3 but I think i may end up just using glasses when i update my prescription cause i find it annoying when i need to take off my headset for a short period to read something and i need to put on my glasses.
Looking at getting lens inserts, do you know if I should be using the Rx from my glasses or contacts if my contacts are a slightly weaker Rx? I know some applications it's safer to use a slightly weaker Rx but not sure if VR is one of those.
I have been using VR Lenslab's frame for a while since I can keep wearing it as my daily glasses. The build quality isn't that great though. I wonder if other brands offer similar product at better quality.
Thanks for the valuable information! Wondering about the right prescription for working in VR. I use Immersed a lot in my MQ2 on virtual desktops and in the AVP I also felt like I was focusing closer vs in the distance. Is distance always the right choice?
What a great video! A question if you happen to see this sir, I can't see clearly near or far. Are you saying I should use my far sight prescription? Thanks again for the very helpful video.
