Yeah I looked into that, however that tear down video makes me hesitate. Maybe there is an easy way to replace the lenses but I have to see it first before messing around with a $700 headset! Also, at least at first, I won't be the only one using it. I'll be stuck with my glasses for now.

Are you near sighted or far sighted? I'm near sighted and hoping I can just leave my glasses off when using it.

I'm near sighted and have used the PSVR without glasses as well. That 'worked' since the resolution on PSVR is very low anyway (with giant hud and fonts). Beat Saber I could play perfectly fine without glasses. It's still blurry since the focal point for the lenses is set to far away, but with everything being big that just hides any screen door effect and smooths out the giant pixels.

I imagine if you're far sighted (have glasses for reading) you don't need to wear glasses at all in a headset. But if you need glasses to see sharp far, it depends on whether the headset exceeds the resolution you perceive without glasses. PSVR was worse than my glasses free vision, PSVR2 might very well be better than the max my eyes can pick up in the distance.

Another thing that was a bit annoying with glasses was that in some games the HUD was right where the frame of my glasses is blocking my fov. And since the HDU is static you can't move your head to get a clear view of the HUD. Basically I saw half the HUD sharp and the other half slightly displaced and blurry over the top of my glasses. The FOV of the headset was larger than the FOV of my glasses.
