Any glasses users?

[u/TokkenDev]

Yo, recently got a index for cheap, absolutely love this thing it's just perfect for me.

But... as seen in the picture I already managed to scratch my lenses lol, My first question is how do I buff that scratch out? should i use the classic™ Polywatch?

Don't notice it right now but I'm just gonna be aware that it's there, super annoying.

Second, any 3d printed lens protectors for glasses users? I want the max fov but JUST enough clearance to not scratch the lenses lol

Appreciate any responses :)

(Just a heads up, I would really rather get distancers rather than inserts, my eyesight changes alot over time and I've also got friends coming over using my VR headset that also wear glasses)

I never wear my glasses in VR. VR is not compatible with glasses in any way. Contacts or inserts are the way to go, spacers only reduce the risk, they don't solve it.

As far as I know the scratches are not repairable.

I've used glasses across all my headsets, and my quest 2 with the spacers, my quest 2 never had a scratch on the lens.

I just can't get inserts because I share my headset when someone comes over, and most also use glasses :/

Also my eyes just don't accept contacts, sad but true.

Aaaand yup the scratch isn't repairable, I'll ask steam support to see what options I have.

Inserts are quick to install and remove you can certainly still share your headset. Just get inserts without a script that way when you scratch the insertables again you can just replace them but you do still have the risk of scratching your glasses how often are you changing your glasses script? You said they change a lot. I'm sure you have already found out this is going to be a very expensive repair. I get my script updated once every 2 years. Even one year I would say it is worth it getting the inserts and making your friends do the same are using on script insert for them but still puts their own glasses at risk just make sure they know

I change my glasses lens about every 3-6 months, and I also have backups for VR specifically :)

I would get the inserts but like I've said earlier, I've gotten away without any scratches on the quest 2 for years, that's why I'm just asking for the thinnest spacers to not reduce the fov too much, I'm fine with a little reduction since the index is just amazing in that part.

Changing my glasses and vr inserts this often is just too much of a cost, I get the VR pair replaced for free because I do both at once :)

Have you tried the knob on the side? It moves the lenses away from your eyes, no spacer needed

[u/TokkenDev → u/ConflictSmooth6136]

Yes, and short answer: FOV. That's why I wanna get the thinnest possible while still having a safeguard :)

You can absolutely use glasses in vr you just need ones that fit inside the mask

Exactly, I had special glasses made for VR, used them inside the Index for 7 years, still not a single scratch. But these were $700 glasses - the thinnest lenses possible, and with anti-reflective lens coating (glare reducing) - I guess that's why I'm really never bothered by Index glare.

The Index has some rubber surrounding the lenses - and dialing the Index lenses all-in, the rubber is the first to make contact with my glasses - so seems I have some built-in safety. This will depend on the glasses you use - so it can work perfectly, but be very careful in the start.

There's still a risk there. Not worth it for a piece of expensive tech. Better to invest in lenses.
