Not recommended to order

Cases beyond the listed ranges, extreme PD outliers, or ocular conditions -please contact support for evaluation. For high refractive error (lsPHl 28D or |CYL| ≥ 3D), we recommend 1.67 index for better thinness and edge performance.

Install & IPD — 5-Step Setup

5 Steps

1) Clean native lenses (dry microfiber, center-out; NO alcohol).
2) Align and seat the magnetic base gently.
3) Lower RX inserts; let magnets snap — no force.
4) Set your usual IPD; check edge clarity.
5) Remove: pinch edges & lift; don’t pry.

Troubleshooting

Blur in center

Re-seat the insert → clean both sides of lenses → confirm your IPD (try ±1 step).

Edge smear

Adjust headset height/strap; make sure the insert is fully seated; flatten any film; high CYL may need 1.61/1.67 index.

Fog within minutes

Use a breathable facial interface, pre-warm 2–3 min, add room airflow/fan; avoid thick shells that block vents.

Ghosting / reflections

Clean surfaces; smooth film wrinkles; reduce in-game brightness 5–10%; avoid strong back-light in the room.

Scratch risk / debris

Inspect magnets; lift micro-debris with painter’s tape; never press hard on the optics.

✅ Inserts fully seated — no wobble and sit flush.
✅ After setting IPD, edge text looks sharp.
✅ Lens cap / film passes the gentle-place clearance test.

🌬

Daily Play — RX + breathable interface + 2–3 min warm-up
Reduce temperature delta before play; fog drops dramatically.

🏃

Workouts — RX + ventilated face pad + light airflow
Use a small desk fan or natural airflow; avoid thick shells blocking vents.

⛔

Don’t — full silicone wraps during play / alcohol on optics
Full wraps trap heat and moisture; alcohol damages coatings.

Wearing the headset on your forehead for 1–2 minutes before starting your session can help warm up the lenses and significantly reduce fogging.

Magnet Safety & Micro-debris

15-second check before play: shine a bright light on magnetic rings and RX bases.If you see glitter-like specks, lift with painter’s tape (sticky side out). Never rub across the magnet.

🧲

Inspect
Look for tiny metallic dust around the rings; they can scratch optics when snapping inserts.

🧻

Lift, don’t wipe
Reduce temperature delta before play; fog drops dramatically.painter’s tape; dab outward to pick up particles.

🌬

Blow safely
Use a handheld air bladder. Avoid using high-pressure canned air, as it can blow debris under the rim.

🧼

Remove to clean
Take inserts off the headset; pinch edges to lift, don’t slide across the lens.

🚫

Keep away from
Do not store near steel shavings, magnetic trays, or abrasive dust; recheck after each trip.

Signs of debris: Light, circular micro-scratches, or a rustling sound when the liner is engaged.

Care & Sun-heat SOP

Topic	SOP
Daily storage	Lens cap on within 10 seconds after play; place in a hard case. Keep away from windows, car dashboards, and direct sunlight; avoid heat and humidity.
Sunlight risk	Lenses act like magnifiers—direct sunlight can burn the display in seconds. During transport/storage always cap the lenses and close the case.
Heat & transport	Avoid environments above 40 °C (closed cars / heater vents). After moving from cold to warm, let it acclimate 10–15 minutes before power-on. Temperature change can cause condensation; acclimation reduces fogging and corrosion risk.
Lens cleaning	Use a microfiber cloth; clean from center outward in gentle circles. If needed, use an alcohol-free lens cleaner; avoid alcohol/tissues.
Face interface	Silicone/fabric pads: wash with mild soap; air-dry. Choose breathable designs to reduce fog; don’t block vents/tracking cameras.
Weekly check	Under bright light inspect lenses and magnetic rings for micro-debris; lift with painter’s tape — don’t rub across the magnet. A gritty click when snapping inserts or faint circular scratches = debris; clean before use.

FAQ — Quest 3 Prescription Lenses

Will these affect FOV?

Low-profile design keeps FOV close to glasses. Very thick films used together may reduce FOV slightly—see our Bench results.

Can I use a lens cap or film with RX?

Yes with clearance ≥ 1.7 mm. Do the gentle-place test; if you feel contact, switch to an RX-ready cap.

Do you support astigmatism?

Yes — up to CYL ±8.00 with any AXIS (0–180°). See the RX table.

I don’t know my PD.

Use a phone ruler app or ask an optician; for large discrepancies, get a professional measurement.

How do I avoid scratches?

Clean before install; tape-lift micro-debris around magnets; never press inserts hard.
