VR headset for people with glasses? (self.virtualreality)

A few years back I got my brother's old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don't fit inside the headset and I'm not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).

Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it's the playstation one i wouldn't mind getting a ps5, I'm really open to suggestions.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I had the same problem. If you know your prescription, there are a few companies that will make custom lens inserts for most headsets out there. I bought some lenses from VR Optician for my HTC Cosmos and they are awesome. Totally changes the experience and makes it so much comfortable than squeezing your glasses inside the headset. Plus you avoid the issue of lenses fogging up. Definitely worth the money.

Thank you for the recommendation! I was so disappointed about the issue after being initially excited about VR.
