You can wear glasses if they do not have a large frame. We recommend wearing contact lenses for the experience, as our headsets will not fit large frames due to limited space between the eyes and VR lenses.

It is recommended that if you can wear contacts please do so as you will find them more comfortable. Our headsets have some focus adjustment in the headsets to compensate for approximately +1 to -3.8 diopters. The VR headsets can be adjusted for most small and medium frames.
