Did you try the Gear VR before? How about the screen door effect?
How easy are the lenses to clean? Do they accumulate a lot of dust?

No way to calibrate the lenses individually as far as I can tell.  I think all of the lense adjustment is done by either adjusting the headset vertically or the slider that separates the lenses horizontally.  The slider doesn't seem to make any real difference if you're wearing glasses, at least it hasn't for me.  But if you have the headset set up where it looks perfect, and then it starts to droop on your face, then things start to get blurry.  There is a strap on the left and the right side, as well as one on the top of the headset to adjust fitting and placement. 

I have tried the GearVR a couple of times, but only for a few minutes.  Screen door effect is much smaller than the GearVR, and it's not even noticeable in some applications.  In Lucky's Tale it's not noticeable, but in the Oculus Home it can be fairly present and noticeable. 

The lenses are easy to clean.  They recommend just using a dry optical lens micro-fiber cloth.  They haven't accumulated very much dust, maybe a little.  

Thanks for the responses. I know I will eventually get the OR(in favor of the Vive) but it's still sad that they do not put in enough effort to accommodate for people with glasses.

For people like me VR gains ultimately in worth if I can use it without glasses because it simulates the feeling of seeing clearly without glasses. That's why the next generation of VR should have lenses adjustable individually for eyes, even with high dioptres.
