Guys, I am long-sighted. When the PSVR2 went out, I bought some corrective lenses to attach to it. Forgot what brand I got, probably the cheapest.
My eye sight has changed a bit and I need to buy new ones. The ones I have have some kind of reflections that I can see when I use the PSVR2, ideally I would like some that avoid that.

Is there an "obvious" choice of brand that I should consider when it comes to these corrective lenses ? Seems there are dozens of brands out there.

Thanks.
 
@SUBZERO-8K Thanks for the feedback. I just found my invoice, mine are VR Rock which are budget lenses. Looks like I have room to upgrade.

It "seems" Hons VR are also some of the cheaper ones, was there other factors you looked at before ordering, any research you've done that I could recycle ? I see some much more expensive like VR Lens Lab which depending on the options are almost 3x more expensive. I'm spending a decent amount of time with this PSVR2 (a lot of it on MSFS2020, the rest on GT7) so I think I wouldn't mind spending a little more if it's worth it.

Hons and VR Optician are the companies I see mentioned most often on PSVR2 related reddit posts and various Discords. I bought lenses from VR Optician because theys are a German company, which is where l live, and have no complaints in regards to reflections.
 
I just put on my PSVR2 over my correction glasses and fits fine, no reflections or anything like that!

You'd be much more comfortable with corrective lenses, and won't risk to scratch the lenses from the headset with your glasses.

I use HonsVR and I am happy with those.

@jrkob : you play MSF2020 on your PC with the PSVR2 ?

I'll check on those, thanks for the heads up mate!
 
@Lomic Yes, I play MSFS2020 on my PC with the PSVR2, how do you know ! It's very very cool.

Ok so after quite a bit of deliberation, I have ordered the VR Lens Lab, waiting for them to arrive. Given that I use my PSVR2 quite a bit lately, I ordered all the options.

I would not consider using the PSVR2 with my glasses on. They are small and potentially can fit, but I'd be too afraid of scratching the device's lenses.

Because you said it.

I played with a Quest 2 and it was not very good in terms of resolution, I need to try with the PSVR2 (I have the adapter) but I did not reinstalled MFS2020 (I made the "mistake" of buying the disc version, install is a chore)

Ho yes lol

Google says the Quest 2 has a total resolution of 3664 × 1920 while the PSVR2 is 4000 × 2040 pixels. Also, The Quest 2 is LCD, while the PSVR2 is OLED. So I would "think" that the PSVR2 is going to show some improvement but, if you ever try, let me know.

One thing that I observed while flying MSFS2020 in VR, is that the windsocks do not appear from very far, and this is a problem. I fly light aircrafts IRL and flying overhead to observe the windsock is something I always do at uncontrolled airports, it is super important, but in the sim that's not possible because windsocks aren't visible from far enough. They seem to only start appearing within 300-400 feet. I wasn't able to find a solution for this. Went on MSFS forum but nobody seemed to have a solution.

I have received my VR Lens Lab lenses: the quality of the manufacturing and the optic themselves is much better than my VR Rocks. The price isn't the same of course. In particular they hold very well to the PSVR2 (the VR Rocks didn't clip very well) and the area around the nose is clear of plastic so it doesn't hurt any more.

I'm not sure if they have less reflection though. Looks about the same to me. Need to do more testing.
 
HonsVR also have an area clear of plastic. They hold well but I don't find them particularly easy to put on. But I don't have any comparison.

This is the main reason i never tried VR after i discovered my myopia carries to the VR world

I was advised to not do it to prevent damage to the glasses and the VR equipment lenses

yes but you can easily put corrective lenses on the lenses of the headset (which is the topic here) and they are quite cheap

and before putting corrective lenses, you can use the headset with your glasses with care, you won't scratch the lenses if you are careful, I did for a few weeks before getting my corrective lenses

Ok so this is something I've been wondering too: should myopia matter when it comes to VR headsets ? Myopia is impaired vision from far, while when wearing a VR headset, I would assume that only our vision from (very !) close should matter ?

In my OP I said I was longsighted (since the age of 40, the free gift that comes with age), but I have also been shortsighted since the age of 20 which I didn't mention because I didn't think it would matter. As a result, the glasses I wear have progressive lenses.

But anyway as @Lomic says, your myopia isn't a reason not to use a VR headset. Just get some corrective lenses that you attach to your headset.

Here are my lenses corrective settings:
  • SPH:-2.25
  • CYL:+1.25
  • AXIS:155
  • SPH :-3.50
  • CYL :+1.50
  • AXIS :25
Those lenses only correct myopia.

Even though the screens are very close to your eyes, the lenses inside the headset make the image appear far away — usually at a distance between 1.5 meters and infinity.

So your eyes focus as if you were looking at something far away, not close up.

Don't refrain to try VR because you have myopia, it is actually the issue all corrective lenses are able to fix in VR. (I guess that there is still a limit if your myopia is very pronounced)

I got some recently and my prescription is at about -11! They were from VR Optician and are excellent. Posted extensively about them over on the main VR2 thread.

Very interesting, and you're right !
I'm trying to find proper information on this (not tiktok or youtube) and although the distance advertised of what I find varies, it is consistently a number where only near sightness would be a problem. I wasn't able to find a lot of actual research in fact, but this piece <here> mentions 3-5m.

Thanks ! I wasn't expecting this at all.

My numbers are:

  • SPH:-2.25
  • CYL:-0.25
  • AXIS:180
  • SPH :-1.50
  • CYL :-0.25
  • AXIS :180
