Quest 2 Blurry with my new contacts, was Fine with glasses. Please help me understand
Hello today I just came home with new contact lens, excited to finally play my quest 2 sans glasses spacer and glasses. Just me and the quest, so I put them in my eyes and get used to them for a bit and then put on my headset, but I was immediately met with disappointment when I load up a game and everything I see is blurry. Text and objects in the distance are unrecognizable. This is confusing because I've never had a blurriness issue in the months thats I've owned and been using the quest 2 with glasses. Would prescription lenses be better or is my slight astigmatism effecting my vision? It shouldn't though if the contact lenses are supposed to be correcting my vision the same as my glasses. Please help if anyone has heard of this, encountered this or knows of anyone that might have info
No depth perception - except in VR??
This is completely off-topic, and have no idea if anyone can figure this out. In real life, I have -zero- depth perception. Life for me is two dimensional, as if it's on a flat screen. Yet when I put on a VR headset, I can see everything in perfect 3D. I noticed this the first time I went to see a 3D movie a few years back. The way everything popped off the screen blew my mind, much the same way playing Fallout VR and Asgard's Wrath are doing now. I'm not really sure why this is the case. I know my eyes are badly imbalanced, with 20/40 sight in one eye and 20/100 in the other. My brain just seems to discard the input from my right eye so I don't normally see things in 3D. But somehow VR and 3D movies are able to 'trick' my brain into processing stereoscopic images properly. Anyone have any clue why this might be?
VR may improve your vision?
I think depending on what type of vision you have, and whether or not you have an astigmatism and or need prescription lenses or contacts -- VR may help some people with their vision? I have an astigmatism, and used to do eye exercises prescribed by my eye doctor. After a week of using my new Quest 2, I find that my left eye is getting better for distant vision. Things seem sharper and even with my astigmatism, I feel like I'm seeing 20/20. Not sure if I'm an anomaly -- or VR really is a good positive workout for the eyes.
Using Oculus Rift with my 52 year old eyes?
I'm really interested in buying Oculus Rift - mainly for playing racing games (PC2, AC RRE etc) - but I'm a bit unsure how it will work with my not so perfect 52 year old eyes... I use contact lenses but have far from sharp sight on short distances. I need almost an arms length for reading a magazine or using a tablet for instance. There is also quite a big difference in lens strength between left and right eye. Experiences from any of you out there regarding this? EDIT: Googled that the Rift have a focal distance of 1,5 m - does this mean that if I have a sharp vision on this distance, I'm fine? Sorry for the somewhat banal questions, but this is all new to me...
