Out of the Blue

Looking forward to getting to the eye doctor today, hoping that my previous experience holds true, and that I'll be able to walk out of there with a couple of pairs of sample contact lenses. This relates to the first definitive thing I'd like to say about the Oculus Rift, which is that I do not believe the talk of being able to use these with glasses, as I was able to dig out a very small old pair, but using them with the headset was still extremely painful. It got to the point where I couldn't put on the headset yesterday, as even thinking about doing so made my face hurt (Does your face hurt? Because it's killing me!). Anyway, based on my experience, trying to use a Rift with glasses is not practical.

Im short(or near)-sighted. I wonder if I would need to wear glasses, considering the RIFT's screen is actually pretty close to one's face anyway?

only way to find out is to try one on, I'm near-sighted and can use google cardboard without glasses just fine.

Yeah, stuff gets blurry for me a couple inches from my eyes, I think I'd likely be OK with an HMD without my glasses on. Sadly none of my friends plan on having one any time soon, and I don't either for that matter.

Do you live near a Best Buy? I heard you can try them there.
RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
