Walked out of the eye doctor with a pair of sample contacts, which made wearing the Oculus Rift comfortable and greatly enhanced the 3D effect as well. I am also quite impressed at how much more comfortable the lenses themselves are than the last time I wore them. To address a few questions and comments about this from the forums, the Vive includes different pads to help accommodate glasses, but the Rift does not. It was suggested I could get a small pair of glasses that would fit, and this may be possible, but one pair I tried was very small, and still quite painful. There were also questions about whether correction is necessary if you are nearsighted, since the lenses are so close to your eyes, and for me it is. I am quite nearsighted, but for some reason the eye treats this like focusing on distance, so glasses or lenses are a must (though it seems like down the road they might be able to program vision correction right into VR headsets?). One reader's story involved wearing them painlessly over glasses at a demonstration, but I will warn that it took a while before the pressure on my glasses started to cause pain, so be wary of that eventually happening. And yes, now that my vision correction includes progressive prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, prescription computer glasses, contact lenses, and reading glasses (for when wearing the contacts), I am letting the idea of getting Lasik surgery bounce around my mind a bit, though I think in the end I'm just too much of a coward to do it.
