Hello all - so I have been looking at the VR headset and have a couple questions.

First one is my main concern. I wear glasses, mainly for distance vision. However, here recently I have found I had to get my prescription tweaked to include bifocals for reading (aging sucks). That being said - can you wear glasses with the VR unit and does it matter if you are nearsighted/farsighted or how does that work?

Second question - I know there are games made primarily for VR but will any game work with it? Obviously I cannot imagine playing something like Diablo but am thinking maybe Doom or Genshin Impact?

I am nearsighted and wear glasses all the time. I don't have any issues wearing them inside the PSVR2, but mine are small profile. Someone did a good write-up on Reddit of third party snap-in prescription lenses that you can get: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/13t98jk/psvr_2_lens_insert_comparison_vr_optician_hons_vr/

My understanding is that you can play any game that is not VR compatible in cinema mode, but I have not done so.
