Glasses touching the lenses

Sorry if this has been asked before, but most of my searches have brought up people complaining about their glasses being uncomfortable to wear in the Rift. I wear glasses, and I find wearing the Rift totally comfortable - but I have noticed that my glasses are VERY close to the lenses and often touch them! This is obviously not good news. I haven't scratched them yet but I feel like it'll be just a matter of time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to increase the distance between my glasses and the lenses? I have noticed that VR Cover do a "Long/Eyewear Facial Interface" - has anyone bought this and can you let me know if it increases the gap?

Thanks!

Yup, they do increase the gap, but you'll be better off getting the WIDMO VR prescription lens adapter from here:

As reviewed by Mrs VRGamerDude:

I've been using the Lens Lab version since I got my Rift and they've been great but some people have had trouble keeping them in place, depends on each individual Rift I think but I'm giving these WIDMO VR ones a go next because I haven't read or heard a bad word about them.

Another option is this as one 
"The interface is offered in two sizes, Regular or Long. Our regular interface has the same dimensions as the stock Rift interface. If you wear glasses and need to put a little more distance between the headset lenses and your face choose the Longer size. If you use our VR Lens Lab adapter for the Oculus Rift order the standard size. Compatible with: Oculus Rift."

I barely need glasses (0.75) but got contacts anyways just for the rift. Its so much nicer not wearing glasses while playing.
