Index and Eye Glasses
I am moving on from Rift S, was briefly the owner of a quest 2 and returning it as a piece of junk and money pit for making it usable for PC VR.
It had the ability to take rubber protectors over the lenses to protect the lenses and my glasses. Worked well on my Rift S. But I can't find anything on this for Index. Is prescription lens inserts my only option?

You need prescription lenses from someplace like VR Lens Lab, Widmo, or VR Optician.

I don't know if it's your only option, but it's a much better option than wearing your glasses inside your VR headset...

Thanks. I'm seeing that only Oculus stuff seems to have rubber protector rings around them. Those worked well. But I'm sending my Q2 back today. I just can't stand the thing for PC VR, even though any replacement is much more expensive. And by the time I get everything needed for PC VR for it, battery packs, and 80 fiber cable....It isn't 300 bucks.
I really wish they still sold Rift S. or at least the controllers. That's what died.

Contact lenses might be another solution for you.

Index does have enough room for glasses, however, I'd highly recommend a lens from VR lens lab.

Yeah. The only ring protectors are limited to Oculus devices. I ended up getting a reverb, because I don't like the cable and heat issues of the index. Reverb has some less than total ease of use regarding control bindings in steam, but that I can handle.
I have a pair of lenses on the way now. Hopefully Monday. I'm jonesing here for VR games. It just keeps staring at me. "Use me".
No. Not scratching that lens just before I have the eye get them. I'll just do some DCS and FS2020, and go old school games that I haven't done in a bit.
The only problem with the lenses is I've been sharing mine with my father, who really like FS2020. I don't want to take the lenses out and put them back to many times.
