How to Install PSVR2 Prescription Lenses: Step-by-Step Guide & Review

Introduction: Player Pain Points

As a VR lens reviewer and streamer, I received a pair of ANNKUTVR prescription lenses for PSVR2—and just like many players, my initial instinct was excitement mixed with hesitation. Before we dive into the installation steps, let's talk about the common pain points players usually worry about:

Is it difficult to install? Many fear damaging the delicate Fresnel lenses.
Will eye‑tracking or focus be affected? Correct alignment is critical.
Could the inserts be too bulky, uncomfortable, or impact nose fit?
Will installing damage warranty or leave residue?
Are magnetic mounts secure, or will they detach mid-session?

In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to install PSVR2 prescription lenses easily and safely tip I picked up from forums, show real Reddit feedback on the pros and cons, answer FAQs, and share why ANNKUTVR lenses impressed me—plus I’ll include a video at the end for visual reference.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide to Install PSVR2 Prescription Lenses

Prepare a clean workspace and power off headset
Always turn off your PS5 and unplug the PSVR2. Place it on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches.
Remove the facial interface
Gently push the clips outward and slide the faceplate off to access the PSVR2 Fresnel lenses.
Clean the original lenses if needed
Before you install PSVR2 prescription lenses, make sure to clean the Fresnel lens surface.Use a micro-fiber cloth or blower to remove dust.
Align ANNKUTVR prescription lens insert
Slot the magnetic base plate or clip-on frame carefully onto the front of the Fresnel lens—ensure it clicks or snaps in place.
Attach the prescription insert
The magnetic insert snaps securely—rotate slightly to confirm alignment. You should feel a subtle click.
Replace the facial interface
Gently snap it back, aligning the tabs—ensure there’s no friction on the lens surface.
Power on and check clarity
Boot the headset and look for immediate clarity improvement or any misalignment. Adjust if needed.

Special Installation Tip

One particularly helpful tip I found on GTPlanet’s PSVR2 forum states:

“Rather than relying on the warranty, I would highly recommend getting some prescription lens covers … they completely remove the risk … they stay in a fixed place.” ——From gptlanet.net

This supports using magnetic inserts or protective shields to safeguard the original Fresnel lens from scratches.

Real User Insights: Pros and Cons from Reddit

Let's hear directly from the community:

“They’re easy to install … magnetic ones … clip around the lenses, then the actual glass just magnetises on.” — ohSpite.

“These lenses add another 100 euros … but I’m okay with paying for a comfortable and good experience (and that also doesn’t risk that my glasses get scratched).” — wutwutwutwhat_

“My vision in the menu in all my games improved especially around the edges of my screen … The upside outweigh the downside…” — ReeferMon420

On the con side:

“The prescription lenses reduce your FOV even more than wearing glasses which forces you to be a couple clicks farther away from your face…”

These reflect the benefits—clarity, comfort, lens protection—but also the tradeoff with field-of-view and headset fit.

FAQs: Installing PSVR2 Lenses

Will eye‑tracking still work?
Yes—if the insert is seated flat and aligned with the Fresnel lens. ANNKUTVR’s design ensured zero tracking issues for me.

Can I play with glasses and still use the insert?
Yes, you won’t need to wear glasses inside—just use your prescription insert.

No, ANNKUTVR’s inserts snapped securely. But avoid wiping the area rashly to prevent dislodging.
