No problem. I think legally they'll have to honour it but it might possibly mean some of us waiting for more stock etc. All depends on their stock levels i suppose. I noticed the 512GB Q3 has disappeared from their site but the 128GB is still there so maybe they still have enough of those. On your order it should state a shipping/delivery date, mine's the 10th iirc.

It has the 10th Oct showing so fingers crossed. Will not doubt be a ton of Q2's on ebay shortly after.

Anyone selling the prescription lenses for the Q3 yet? especially in the UK? Just found my email for the Q2, got the lens for it from Adlens.

About prescription lenses, i bought the one's advertised on Meta's website, "Zenni" lenses. All in it came to £74(!) but i think that's about the going rate.

what prescription is it you need? distance or reading?

I believe the focal distance for the Quest is stated as being 1.3 metres. So not your reading prescription, unless you have very long arms.

It's always a distance prescription for current VR headsets.

Yeah, I bought the same. Normally go for VR Optician lenses which have been great so hopefully Zenni will be just as good.

Has anyone had any experience of Zenni VR lenses? Presumably if Meta are promoting them directly the quality and fit will be decent.

Hopefully someone will release decent controller straps by the time it releases.

I've always gone with vr optician too but on their website it just says "planned" for quest 3. Yeh if meta are promoting them then surely zenni will be ok, plus they should arrive around the time the quest 3's are delivered.

They're a great price, $49 for my prescription with free shipping so nearly half what i've just paid for zenni lenses, delivery 18-25 oct so might have had to wait a week or 2. Let us know what they're like.
About protecting them they state it comes with a scratch resistant coating.

The quest lenses ? Or the prescription lenses?

Ravenger · 2 Oct 2023 at 09:20

I'm hoping my Quest Pro lenses will fit. The Quest 1 and Quest 2 lenses were compatible.

The prescription lenses, not sure about the Quest lenses but if you're using prescription lenses then they'll protect the Quest lenses.

All you guys with glasses should try contract lenses. Get a free trial from your optician. It really is life changing compared to glasses.
