Oculus rift with glasses

I think it's a question of prescription strength and nearsightedness/farsightedness. I'm nearsighted and wear glasses for distance, but can see distant objects relatively fine without them, things are just a bit fuzzy. I wear my Oculus without glasses and have no problems. If you're farsighted, though, it could be more of an issue.

Non-glass wearers or far-sighted people should have no problems. If you are near-sighted, you can try the B lenses, but it's kind of a small chance they will match your prescription exactly. I usually wear my glasses with the Rift, and it's certainly possible even if it's a bit of a tight fit. If you have especially wide or thick frames, they may not fit and you will either have to get thinner glasses or use contact lenses.

Thanks for the replies, but this doesn't answer my question about the screen adjustment, I remember that I had an old video tape camera that had a little slider near the visor thingy that you could adjust it unit you saw a clear image, but I don't think that this is the case since you are using it with your glasses. I am near-sighted by the way( I think that's the term if you see ok at near distances, and blurry at far distances)(my main language is not English). Both of you said different thing about far sighted people, so I'm kina confused, and I would like to know more about this topic before I consider buying the rift.

There is no focus adjustment on the DK1 or DK2. Chances are you will need to use your glasses for the best experience.

The B lenses are about -3 diopters. The A lenses are 0.

My eyes are -2 and while I can use either A or B, they both have some distortion. For glasses to work fine, they should be less than 127mm (total width) as any larger glasses will rub against the Oculus face-mask seal.

If I totally immerse in the rift (e.g need not peek outside), then I find that contacts work best. (unfortunately when I wear contacts presbyopia rear its ugly head and can't focus on near objects).

Man out of all developers like Sony or Microsoft you guys actually respond to your members also corrected my self sorry for lang but I fucking love you no homo although no judgement either :) but can I PLEASE recommend a private theater I BEG you guys I'd sell my soul for it and maybe a virtual social movie theater environment. BTW Is there any news about the social game being made for facebook is it still being worked on or did it drop?

Hi all,
I am nearsighted and I've found a good compromise wearing Oculus with B lenses mounted and having my glasses on.
I had to play a little bit with eye relief before finding a good setup because I had to find the right setup which was fitting the combination glasses/B lenses.

Just a question: the configuration utility Eye Relief setup has an impact on what shown in the rift or its just a reminder?

Thank you!
