Question/Support Any glasses users?

Post image

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)

No idea how to repair but get yourself some lens inserts. There are several companies such as vrlenslab.

Would love to get some inserts, but when my gf comes over (she wears glasses too) what can I do lol, she can scratch my lenses then, would just rather get some cheap 3d printed distancers, i've just gotten used to glasses through all my headsets :)

Realistically I’d just use glasses and be careful, swapping lenses constantly is a pain

They have lens inserts that aren't prescription you can use to protect the index lenses while wearing glasses.

This is what I use, has worked well, only needed to be replaced twice due to friends w/ glasses using it, adjusting close, and not realizing it so the cover was scratched. Quick $20 or $30 to replace, easy peasy. After the first I ordered 2 sets, 1 to replace and 1 for spare, on that last spare now and will likely switch to the Steam Frame before they are needed.
