Blurry Vision Ruining Your Quest 2 Experience? Try This!

Check my pinned comment for more tips to fix blur (not glasses related)!

Is blurry vision ruining your VR experience and immersion? I noticed that the Meta Quest 2 has a higher tendency to be blurry than the Oculus Rift CV1. I believe this is due to the lack of IPD adjustment on the Meta Quest 2. For example, on the Oculus Rift CV1, there was many options for setting the distance between your eyes. On the Oculus Quest 2, however, this was reduced to only 3 spots.

Thus, my astigmatism (poor, blurry vision) combined with the lack of granularity on the inter pupillary distance setting on the Quest 2 made the MQ2 pretty annoying to use. In this video, I discuss the pros and cons of using the Oculus glasses spacer vs. using a prescription lens.

The two prescription lens brands I compared were VR Lens Lab and VR Wave.

The thing I hated the MOST about the Quest 2 was the absence of the ipd adjustment slider. Clicking the lenses into one of three positions are just not remotely as good as the Quest Classic slider that allows me to dial in perfectly.

Its also worth noting that using the glasses spacer VASTLY decreases how easily your headset fogs up.

I just got of VR and now it feels weird to use my hands...great video though

[villaincorp]

i used the one piece set. total cost was $180. well worth it. i got the uv protection etc which is why it cost 180. i also find that the way you angle/tilt your headset up or down also helps with clarity.

Having tried just about all the lens adapters out there, I've come up with what is a better solution for me. I simply put two tiny beads of fun-tack gum type adhesive directly on the outer edges top/bottom of the quest2 lens and press the corrective lens right onto it. Minimizes FOV reduction, no added bulk of adapter rings/magnets to get in the way of your nose and brow. And the adapter rings do crack and snap over time.
Give it a try.

I know it’s not an option for everyone but I got lasik and it really made a HUGE difference.

VR Wave lenses also move around a bit too easily as they are attached with relatively weak magnets.

Especially if you have a larger nose ridge, and I ended up scratching my lenses on both the VR wave lenses and the Quest 2.

Yes, they were indeed installed correctly and the lens holders were not on too far.

My nose ridge isn't huge, but I did end up having to polish the Quest 2 lenses to get rid of the scratches, and the VR wave lenses were rendered useless, because "buffing" the scratches out also buffed out the blue light filter coating.

Polywatch was a lifesaver in this situation. Everyone who owns a VR headset should have a tube of it.

I use prescription lenses in my Q2, but previously I had worn glasses with the spacer. I've just added a Kiwi Elite strap which is amazing for comfort but I still wasn't happy with the blurry picture having to be very careful how my Q2 was positioned on my head. After watching your video I realised I still had the glasses spacer fitted. I've removed it and wow absolutely crystal clear vision, all crisp and well focused. It had been blurry all because I had forgotten to remove the spacer, d'oh!!

[wobblyrampack]

You are so right. Prescription lenses make a huge difference. I have high astigmatism. I got some lenses from VR Lens Lab for Quest 2 and they are amazing. They are so good, I find it strange when I take the headset off and realize I have to wear glasses again! :)

[Winterborn]

I'm kinda screwed with the spacing because my eyes are right in between 2&3. And my glasses are too wide to fit in the headset. I'll look into the Rx lenses but im not really getting my hopes up.

[ZstormVR]

What a fantastic video! Thank you for this amazing video to help out so many people! And yes Field of view is extremely important to me. After experiencing how the Valve Index feels, the quest 2 just doesn't give me that same little extra view. But then again that's comparing apples to oranges with $300 vs $1000!

[Motherofmusic]

Omg what was that 1st game you showed us? When you were talking about if you're not doing much motion. It was like a bubble floating in a Forrest looking area

[Bgsqlila]

Just got quest 2, and I have glasses. Noticed it right away that edges are blurred. I’m frustrated, and not sure if I should buy more accessories. 😩🤔

I bought a tennis elbow velcro strap from the local drug store. I use it with a recharging brick as a counterweight on the top/ strap or below the tightening button at back of my headset. Now I can cup the back strap below the occipital ridge bone at the back of my skull as intended and loosen the whole thing more around my head and face. Comfy, now sits in the correct spot for my vision, and recharges my headset!

[Channel-wrzk]

I'm playing Skyrim VR (modded of course) and get some pretty bad light shafts that stretch from the virtual controllers to the center of my vision. I can only assume this is due to my astigmatism. I can't use the glasses spacer as my head is larger than the average person. My glasses are literally too wide to fit within the confines of the facial interface without putting pressure on the sides.
Also, I'm concerned that the IPD adjustment may not allow for someone of my neanderthal sized skull. I have it set to the max, but still concerned it isn't right.
Thanks for your video. I'll give these lenses a try. Hopefully they are enough. :)

What you really need to do is download side quest on your computer and connect it to your quest 2 then turn up the texture resolution to highest. The only problem is it decreases battery life. Combine that with the lenses for a perfectly sharp in image. Also you can customize some of these lenses for your prescription.

I had both and returned the quest 2. Alyx is better on the S. PC games are better period on the S. With the link cable or wireless it's still not as good as the S. But this was a year ago and I just got a quest 2 256gb for $175. Lets see if all those updates have helped!

[phelza]

I'm curious did she wear glasses with the original RIFT and how come it took months to notice the blurry. Coming from the RIFT cv1 wasn't it obvious from the moment first put it on?

[sutv]

For now I'm using the spacer and I don't loose any FOV. I use my glasses but it's still a little bit blurry depending.

[josh]

just got my it today. I've played on many vr headsets but the oculus quest 2 was very blurry, and the fov was horrible. I've tried a lot to fix it but can't seem to fix it. ( I have glasses to btw)
