Hi, i have a question I ordered Vroptician lenses 2 years ago with a old prescription and haven't use the headset for a while and i want to play it again. But I just got my new prescription and the value from my last one jumped from R : -2.50 (+2.25) 90° L : -4.25 (+3.50) 85° (2019) to R : -0.50 (-2.50) 180° L : -0.25 (-3.50) 180° (2023) Is that a massive jump ? Would the difference be super obvious ? I'm asking this because I know absolutely nothing about the whole value thing and i wanna be sure I'm not wasting money on ordering new lens for barely any change.

how do you get vr correction?

I'm so glad I found your channel. I had been looking for good solutions to wearing glasses within VR for a while (I'm both near sighted with astigmatism) and playing VR without my glasses just didn't work for me. I'm so glad you pointed out VR prescription lenses, it really has made such a world of difference in terms of comfort in VR.

I recently started wearing glasses full time for my astigmatism. I'd been dealing with it for a few years without correction, so having it now is a great relief, even with my mild case. The glasses gave me such relief that I decided to get inserts for my Quest 2 as well, and I can see VR much better.

-4/5 left/right eye on shortsight and -2.5 on astigmatism, Lenses are manditory for me. So glad they are available for VR. I'm just praying they don't go the same way as Drone FPV goggles. Used to have slots for lenses, now they just allow you to adjust the lens position for short sight correction but no ability for correct for astigmatism which is a huge nightmare...

Thanks. I have been doing all these remedies since June 2022 and was told that the but the twitching is because of the astigmatism. I can now rule out the astigmatism as the cause of my constant twitching eye. Thank you very much 😊

I have keratoconus and very irregular astigmatism, especially in my left eye (-4.00 D). Your example of what astigmatism looks like is actually great, one of the best I’ve seen. It’s often hard to explain to others what it’s like. I just got a PSVR2, and with fresnel lenses the effect is magnified. In real life, my right eye has less astigmatism and so I use it automatically to make up for my left eye’s astigmatism. In my VR set, this doesn’t work well in many areas of the screen as things get less clear away from the centre of the lenses. So if I’m looking at an object that requires my right eye to be looking off centre, it can no longer make up for my left eye’s issues. Anyway, love your channel. Just ordered some VR Optician lens inserts based on your reviews and excited to use them, as in VR my eye glasses make an even bigger difference than in real life.

cant believe i didnt realize i had astigmatism sooner. need to make an appt with my eye doctor

Great explanation Doc. My Dad always makes out his Quest 2 is very crisp, whereas i've never been able to get that, it's nearly always a soft focus and I have to have the headset held in a very specific position for it to be useable at all. I have a -0.75 astigmatism in my left eye, but I always use corrective contact lenses when on the quest (and basically any every day life thing), I believe my issue is more the IPD, which i'm slightly wider than the highest setting (if I remember right i'm about 72mm when measuring on apps).

@DrEyeGuy

Жыл бұрын

That would make sense if you aren't able to look through the sweet spot of the VR lenses. Also... VR lenses, especially the quest 2 has it's limitations on how clear it can be. There are so many variables to it. Thanks for the comment... you are definitely not alone with your IPD being wider than the VR lenses can adjust for.

This video makes me very hopeful. I've always dealt with a double image/blurry or feeling like is was looking through a mirage when in VR. I never once thought it could be because of my (-2.25) astigmatism, but now it makes total sense! I get annual eye exams, but I've never filled my prescription even though I should since I basically, "use the force" when I read text. But I thought since the screens were in front of your eyes (in VR), why would you need glasses? Boy, looks like I was very wrong. I ordered a pair of lens via VR Optician (with your code, thank you!) and they should be here next week...maybe? I'll update this comment with how they work for me. Fingers crossed!!!

Hello Dr. EyeGuy. Glad to have found your channel. I have strabismus (no prism correction) and when using my glasses in the reverb g2 headset, everything is really blurry and I find it hard to get my eyes in a position where it gets better (plus my frames a bit wide which makes it hard to use with the headset. Having watched your video on VROptician, I ordered lenses from them with my prescription (waiting for them to be produced). Do you think having the lenses on the headset will help me with my problem? Are there any other tips you could offer? Thank you and have a happy new year.

Basically a perfect representation! I have -1.75 & -2.00 for my Astigmatism and the -2.00D looks almost EXACTLY what I see in VR, which is why I bought prescription lenses from VROptician. Also used your discount link in the process and only spent like $60!

I use my contact lenses in VR, as I have a large head and my fat glasses don't fit inside the quest 2.

I have a stigma of R -2.00 & L -1.25 Everything looks great, but i get eye fatigue even after turning down the brightness. I'm going to try my glasses, which i never wear 😊

I just got diagnosed with a slight astigmatism (+0.5OD, +0.25OS) recently and strangely enough, VR helps me with eyestrain. I don't have my prescription yet thanks to issues with my insurance delaying my ability to order my glasses last year, but I do have a set of prescription inserts that should hopefully be here by the end of the week, so I'll see if that clears up the blur that I do see while gaming.

Given you can demonstrate what astigmatism looks like in VR. Would it technically be possible for an astigma to be corrected in software within the headset? Just enter what my astigma was for each eye in the settings somewhere and it generates the image on screen with the correction applied?

Someone who plays normal video games on a tv would notice these symptoms. Something like Psvr2 is just kind of soft/blurry looking lol.

@DrEyeGuy

It would be slightly different due to lighting conditions, pupil size, and focal distance in the VR device.

I just got a vr and I got type 2 of astigmatism. It’s not the crispest and I lost my glasses. I’ll find them soon and get a clear view hopefully.

I have -6.00 D in one eye and -7.50 in another with my astigmatism. I got a special spacer put in my VR headset so I can still enjoy VR. I tried once without my glasses and had a major migraine.. I regret ever even thinking of trying that lol

Tive uma experiência bastante ruim com o quest 3, achei que a imagem era ruim, estava no bonelabs e tudo estava embaçado. Tenho astigmatismo no olho direito 3.5 e no esquerdo 1.5, fui usar sem meus óculos. Ainda bem que vi esse vídeo agora.

I have -1.25 on my script. Typically I don't wear my corrective lenses regularly outside of gaming (priorities, amirite??) That said, as my usage of VR has gone up in the past few weeks I have noticed an increase in fatigue and eye strain. This actually led me to go ahead and pull the trigger on a set of prescription VR lenses as my frames won't fit well inside of my Quest 2. Looking forward to seeing the difference!

Great video. I’m going to get my eyes checked at opticians. Maybe I have this problem with my eyes. If so, I will buy those prescription lenses and fit them to my psvr2 and all should hopefully be much better.

I have ocular albinism my stigmatism is so bad they’ve done surgeries, which resulted in minor corrections, but not much more if we keep heading in this direction where we are using our eyes to point to things and activate things, life’s gonna be hell

I'm farsighted with a slight astigmatism but unexpectedly (and happily) I find that I can use VR without any corrective lenses... except: I have to look at the center of the VR lenses for the best clarity. It's very clear for me looking straight into the center, but moving only my eyes to look in another direction, the "display" is blurry. So I have to move my head rather than my eyes to read text, for example... it's not a deal breaker, but not the ideal. Do you know why this might be? (I have a Quest 2 and had a Samsung GearVR in the past). I just realized I have a similar issue with my laptop and glasses, but the focused area is much larger. I can read text across the laptop screen without moving my head and only at the edges of the screen does the text get a little blurry. I assume this is due to the prescription being centered on the lenses, but doesn't explain the lenses in the VR headset... thoughts?

Not yet, but im planning on it. 🙂

I think I am about a -3.5 D but combined with near or farsightedness I can never recall which it is that I have. And now mix in bifocals since I am of that age. So I've avoided VR since I figured it was pointless for me. To give an example I am at an arm's length from my screen (1920x1200) so about 1m/3feet and without my glasses I can't read anything. With my pair of non-bifocal glasses I can't see anything *closer* than 1m from my face, with bifocal I can see close up.

I have a question, on my Vr things up close are blurry, but things at slight distance are crystal clear. Im using Psvr2, and not sure if its just the head set.

@DrEyeGuy

Жыл бұрын

Hard to say because the focal point is the same in VR, distance or near. You could be dealing with accommodative-vergence conflict, where your eyes will come closer together when you look at something up close, and cause your focusing muscle to focus when it shouldn't in VR

I am 70 and use reading glasses 2 or 3 magnification ,bought in any store , would ordering reading glass lenses for the oculus affect the clarity?

@DrEyeGuy

Жыл бұрын

You actually don't want to use your reading glasses in VR. VR, meta quest 2 for example, sets their focal point out more in the distance, about 4 feet out/1.2 meters. If you have a prescription for that far out, that would be perfect. Most people find their distance prescription works better than their close up prescription.

So this is interesting, I have astigmatism and im near sighted but its different in both eyes, believe ones is -1 and the other is -2 but its interesting you talk about headaches and eye strain because I dont typically wear my glasses (because they make my eyes hurt/strain) and in VR this is especially bad, so for the most part I dont wear my prescription glasses. Have been wanting to try prescription lenses but they just seen so expensive that I've basically dealt with blurry vision inside of VR for the most part

Hi! So your astigmatism is 5 diopters total. The plus and minus can change depending on how the prescription is written. With that amount, it can be tricky to find some soft lenses that would be stable enough to give you adequate vision. There are custom lenses that can go that high. Or switching to A hard lens or scleral lenses may work better.
