Update, and this is cool.

Found a thread by a person who's designed a 3D printable lens adapter.

These take 40mm diameter standard glasses prescription lenses. So basically, get this printed, amble down to your local optician and job's a good un'

Then found a fairly local service who can print them:
https://www.3dprint-uk.co.uk/3d-printing-service

The quote from this printer came in at £16.40 per unit (in black). Unfortunately they have a minimum spend of £40. So my thoughts were to order 3. One for me, one as a spare and one that I'd probably Ebay.

Ah, the joys of technology.
Any want one?

They've copied what VR Lens was already doing and just made it available to do yourself.

I have prescription lenses for my Vive and they are great

If you can, maybe you could sell them in the forums here for a sensible price...

If its the VR lens ones I heard that they fall out. First impressions good but nothing to hold them in place? Dunno. But if they fit very good then its definately something i'm interested in.

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

If the only issue is falling out, sounds like a spot of bluetak would be a very painless solution.

I can print one for you if you want... just a small donation towards material and postage would be fine.
