Glasses (bifocals) and VR

Have you tried contacting VR WAVE?  I have had mine for about two weeks and not had any problem with them falling off.

No, I think that the problem is that I wasn't pushing it in hard enough. I may revisit and try it again. I got frustrated and put them back in the case. I just don't like the design really.

The vroptician has a cuplike design that I think would be better for my taste. I should of did more research but I was to anxious to get a pair.

I am right there with you.

 

I use Pimax 8KX and I think there is maybe one or two choices out there for prescription inserts for that headset.  I went with the VRMust inserts.  I think I must have been their first customer.  They were clueless as to what prescription I should use for the inserts...  (Reading or Distance.... it turns out you need to use the "Distance" prescription).  When I got them the lenses were too narrow...ie the edge of the lenses was visible in my field of view; which defeats the point of having a Pimax headset with a massive field of view.  Also, the Insert was overly complicated, consisting of 5 parts that are loosely held together inside the headset.  I gave them some feedback on the design including some drawings of what the frame should look like.  I'd love to find a better solution.

 

I SportRX makes an insert which I think could work really well.

However they don't do a blue light coating, which I think is really important for a VR headset.  I'd get a set from them just to try it out but they will not sell the insert with out lenses.

Another option is multi focal contact lens if you don’t want to deal with glasses.

Now I'm thinking about a set of contacts as my VRWAVE lenses are useless. When your playing BFM and have to lift the headset up to check things on monitor and keyboard peeks ect. , they just scrape my forehead and occasionally fall out, they also touch the bridge of my nose too, I just don't think its a good idea to press them back on the G2 lenses with force. It's just not for me I guess, so now I'm thinking a pair of contact lenses and I wonder if they just make a +225 readers. Back to some research.

Just revisited this thread. Still haven't gotten my VR headset yet (understanding all this stuff is like learning a new language). One thing I did notice....I ONLY have bifocals. Wear them all the time. So when I go to get these lens inserts, I want to use the distance prescription, right?

 

Thanks again for all the input. Super helpful.
