How to Order VR Prescription Lenses: A Step-by-Step Guide for Gamers

Hello everyone!

If you have been following with us, you will know that we have just refreshed our website. This new website allows us to create individual pages instead of just having everything (like our product details, about us, contact details etc) on a single page, so that VR users will be able to search our pages better. We also like this new look and font as well!

We have created this article in order to help users on our new website order their lenses perfectly too! There are 6 easy steps, which we will also provide a step-by-step walkthrough throughout this article too!

Follow these straightforward steps to order your VR prescription lenses:

Step 1: Choose your VR Headset Model

The first step in ordering VR prescription lenses is selecting the correct lenses for your VR headset. We offer lenses for various popular models, including:

  • Meta Quest 3
  • Meta Quest 2
  • Meta Quest Pro
  • Pico 4
  • PlayStation VR2

so make sure you select the correct lenses for your VR headset. But no worries, there will still be a review page at the end!

Step 2: Prepare Your Prescription Details

"Distance Prescription" will be the default option for the majority of people with glasses. It will be useful to have your prescription at this point, however, if you don't have it, you may still email us in the options later.

Even if your prescription has an "ADD" - which stands for "addition", the Distance Prescription will still apply as we are using Distance prescription for VR, and not a prescription for reading. 

For those who wants lens protection over their lenses but don't need correction, select the "Non-Prescription" option.

Step 3: Choose Your Submission Mode

 

 We offer three convenient ways to submit your prescription details:

  • Manually: Enter your prescription details directly on our website.
  • Upload a file: Attach a photo or scan of your prescription.
  • Email later: Send your prescription details to our Optometrists via email after checkout.

Choose the option that is most convenient for you.

Step 4: Input Your Single Vision Prescription

 

If you have selected manual input, you'll need to enter your prescription details. This includes your:

  • SPH: or "Sphere", which is also your "degree". For context, -1.00 also means the layman term of "100 degrees".
  • CYL: or "Cylinder, otherwise known as your "astigmatism".
  • AXIS: refers to your angle of astigmatism, a value from 1 to 180.
  • OD: means Right Eye
  • OS: means Left Eye
  • PD: this stands for your eye's "Pupil Distance", which is the distance from one pupil to the other. This can either be provided by your eyecare provider, or you can also measure this yourself with a ruler.

This step will be skipped if you choose the "Upload a file" or "Email later" option! 

Step 5: Choose Your Lens Index

 

 Select from our three lens index options:

  1. 1.56 Mid Index: Suitable for most prescriptions under -4.00.
  2. 1.60 High Index: Ideal for moderate to high prescriptions from -4.00 to -6.00. This makes the lenses thinner and lighter. You may select this option even if your prescription is lower than -3.00 to make them cosmetically nicer. 
  3. 1.67 Very High Index: Perfect for stronger prescriptions for -6.00 and above. This will make the lenses even more thinner and lighter.

Higher index lenses are thinner and lighter. It is also important to make them as such for higher prescriptions, so that the lenses do not touch your cheek or face.

If you require prismatic correction in your order, please reach out to us directly at our WhatsApp or email.

Step 6: Review Your Order

 

Before finalizing your purchase, please make sure that you have checked through all the details of your oder. Double-check your prescription information, lens choices, and shipping details to ensure everything is correct.

Once you've completed these six steps, you're ready to place your order and enjoy crystal-clear vision in virtual reality!
