VR headset for people with glasses? (lemmy.world)

A few years back I got my brother's old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don't fit inside the headset and I'm not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).

Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it's the playstation one i wouldn't mind getting a ps5, I'm really open to suggestions.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I also used VR Optician to get an insert for my Index. When I bought it they let you buy them one by one. That was great for me since I’m blind in my right eye. Really well made. I’ve taken it off and on over the years and it has held up great.

For my Beyond, I had to buy a full pair of inserts. Bigscreen sells them with the HMD. But now I have a backup. I got the same prescription in both.

Apple will be selling or including prescription inserts for their Vision Pro too. Prescription inserts really are the best and most comfortable way if you can afford it.

AFAIK you can get them for every popular headset currently being sold.

Thank you, it's good to read about these experiences. The beyond headset looks really appealing too.
