Lenses

There are three pairs of lenses that come with the Rift, where the 'C'-labelled ones are for people with the most severe myopia.
Most glasses will fit inside. You can probably test with normal ski goggles if your's will fit.

You should able to use your glasses if you change the eye-cups, or adjust the Rift screen to be further out.

Has anyone played around with the different lenses? I got my Oculus with A installed, but actually put B in there now and seem to like them better.

I wear glasses, my one eye has almost no prescription, but my other has an astigmatism.

Just wondered which pair most people left in.

I seemed to notice the screen door effect more with my A's in.

From a theoretical point of view I would say the A cups are best, when your IPD is close to 64mm. With the B or C lenses the screen is magnified more in my understanding and the screen door effect should be more visible. With the A lenses with perfect vision or glasses (with the right correction) the eyes should relax and look to infinity to see an image. When wearing glasses with the B cups you have to focus a little bit and the screen is magnified more => the screen door effect should be visible more (and the FoV will be reduced). One could think that with the B lenses and glasses you see a little bit blurry while relaxing your eyes to infinity (instead of focussing), therefore the screen door effect may be less pronounced.

But as I said - just theories as I don`t hav the DevKit yet :-)
