I get that some users could tolerate this all day, but the problem with having a display strapped to your face with plastic lenses in between that have not been tailor to your eyesight is bound to be uncomfortable to a lot of users at prolonged use.


He tackles that:

> If you need corrective lenses, get lens inserts: it’s superior to wearing glasses, and I find it better than wearing contacts. For horrible astigmatic myopia like mine (-7.5), it was cheaper than most pairs of glasses I’ve had, and a totally reasonable expense since I use them all day for work.


That doesn't fix the issue with the limited IPD adjustment on the Quest 2 where if you're out of the 3 fixed setting then eye strain happens.


Do you know if mid points work? I’ve heard mixed things, I’m not sure if the IPD is a combination of the lens and software (since it does display on screen when switching). I’m also between notches on the IPD but I’m unsure if trying to get it stuck halfway works or is a good idea.


That's not a viable option for me as my IPD is not between settings but at the outer extreme of the widest setting (Quest 2 only goes as far as 68 mm while Quest 1 went to 72 mm which is close to my IPD). It's still usable for games without any headaches, but I wouldn't use it for reading text or long gaming sessions.
