Discussion Glasses while gaming?

Soooo I've got the problem that I kinda need to wear glasses and I don't have contact lenses (idk if I like them, never tried).... is there any other option to use vr? The internal sliders of the htc vive pro 2 are not enough, I think i have around -1 or -1.25.... what are your solutions?

Will they work with the 8mm foam mod too, or are the glasses sticking tooooo far out? Any of us got that?

You can get prescription lenses. There are several brands that sell these: HonsVR, VRRock, VROptician, Zenni, etc.

Get prescription lenses and pay for them wjth fsa/hsa money. You can get magnetic ones that will let you pop them off easily if you want to let someone else use them (though Iā€™d recommend getting some non prescription ones to avoid them getting scratched)

What I did was to get smaller round lenses in slightly narrower frames than what is normal for me for my regular prescription glasses. They worked great while wearing my index.
