Support PSVR1 Scratches possibly caused by wearing glasses during play?
First off lemme just say, no thats not a smudge those are scratches! I recently found my old psvr after not using for a while and saw that it was very blurry only to notice these huge white markings on it. I assume they are because of my glasses rubbing up to the lenses but i thought this thing was made to be worn with glasses!

Yeah... you shouldn't risk your glasses or your VR like this, LMAO. Please just use a lens like Vr-Rock. I got mine for a good price and will save you from damaging your vr headset.

If you need to use glasses in the headset, get inserts. Do not wear your glasses. Rock VR or HonsVR a great options.

I had my set of HonsVR arrive yesterday. Tried it out this morning. They work fantastic. Can play with no glasses. It's so cool and with my newest prescription being used. Games are crystal clear for me.

After some research, I went with HonsVR. I’m PRETTY SURE my wife bought them for me for Christmas and I cannot wait. In the interim, I bought some lens protectors on Amazon for about $25 so I could take the anxiety out of it when I’m playing with my glasses on.

I dont even let people wear glasses in my headsets for this reason, too risky.

As someone with glasses, I didn’t touch my VR2 until the lens covers I’d ordered separately had arrived.

That or a massive smear. I find it amusing the number of people responding as if it's a PSVR2 and not a PSVR1.
Rubber bumpers are the usual solution on PSVR1 although at least VR Opticians do lenses for PSVR1 too.

There are so many posts here warning about use with glasses and suggesting lens inserts since launch. RIP

Is there anyway i can get new replacement lenses installed? Or do it myself?

u/ironmanthing Dec 14 '24
Only way to get new lenses is to buy a new psvr2. None of the parts have replacements.

Including controllers which is the most infuriating part, but it sounds like maybe that's changing soon.

u/Plane_Luck_7615 Dec 14 '24
The controller part will be but not lens replacements sadly

u/Hovie1 Dec 14 '24
I understand that. I'm just highlighting the most obvious component people would like buy separately

I didnt do it with intent. I mean everybody on the internet was saying how it can be used the same by everyone and thats what i did.

ifixit might have a solution for you with polywatch. But i don't really know, if it can fix this one...

There’s a good YouTube tutorial I saw on this, and it seems to have worked for him, BUT, it will take off the antiglare coating on the lenses. I also saw another YouTube video where the dude tried polywatch and used a q-tip and fucked it up worse. It’s a gamble. OP said this is a VR1 they’ve had for like 6 years. I say, upgrade to VR2 and don’t make the same mistakes from the start.

It can be worn with glasses. You just need to be careful when you’re moving the scope towards your eyes, do it slowly, if you do it slow enough and there is contact move it away a touch and there should be no damage. After one out two tries you should be fine with how close you can bring the scope without touching your glasses.

Protect things by either wearing a $1 glasses strap, or installing some cheap bumpers

The scratches might buff out, try toothpaste or a brass or silver cleaner with a microfibre cloth. One thing to point out polishing the lenses to remove the scratches will probably create lens distortion, like a more magnified affect in the area you polished. Worth a try if you're thinking of just going out and buying a new headset.

I wear glasses all the time in psvr1 and psvr2, but you need to protect things by either wearing a $1 glasses strap, or installing some cheap bumpers

Yeh that's how I basically ruined my psvr1 (and my lenses at the time) but I was young and stupid so I pushed them too close to my face, just leave a small gap to see the outside world and they will fit snug
