PS VR2 and glasses? [Questions] (self.psvr)

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.

As mentioned already, go with the prescription inserts. Doubles as protection for the lenses in the unit.

PSVR is one of, if not the absolute best headsets for wearing glasses with, because it gives a very wide range of adjustments for how far the lenses can sit from your face, so absolutely it will work very well with glasses. It doesn't matter if you are near or farsighted, just wear your normal glasses and dial in the lenses to be close but no chance of touching and you are fine. Now, as mentioned, buying the prescription inserts for ~$80 will give you the best experience, but glasses work fine too.

As for your second question, you can play any game on it, but ones that aren't made to be VR games will appear on a large screen floating in front of you in VR. It works well if that's all you're expecting.
