here are some more reasons why your oculus quest 2 might be blurry and the tips to fix it let's focus
in hey howdy everybody this is dr neal guymon, Dr. EyeGuy, not matt pat from game theory that's
probably the most common comment i got from my other video i wanted to add some more reasons why
your device might be blurry that i didn't mention in the other video number one would be lens
defects actual manufacturing lens defects to your oculus quest 2 lenses now i should have mentioned
this one in my other video last year earlier this year there were a lot of reports of people
saying that there were weird defects in their lenses and it would cause blurry vision or areas
of weird distortion when they were playing vr and there was nothing that they could do about it when
they actually looked at the lenses you'd actually notice little areas or segments of the lenses that
had maybe chromatic aberration or weird hazy spots or weird spots that would reflect the light weird
sometimes it almost looked like maybe some of the liquid had gotten in between the lenses from when
it was manufactured and so it was pretty weird and there were a lot of reports more than i realized
and these reports were coming from multiple devices multiple manufacturing dates multiple
areas where the lenses were actually made and so it's really tricky to nail down and it's gonna be
very annoying some people told me that they had to send their device in two three four times just
to get a device that didn't have a lens defect and some people just gave up and just returned
their device but yeah if you have blurry vision or sections of blurry or distortion vision that you
can't fix definitely check out the lenses because there might be a lens defect now i put a link
in the description below of some examples some links to reddit forums where people have posted
their pictures of their lens defects so you can compare the defects to your lenses also there are
many different youtube videos out there where people show their lens defects as well
so even if you got a new device later 2021 still check out the lenses just to make sure
that you don't have a lens defect number two another reason why your lenses might be blurry
is from fogging two main reasons why your lenses might be fogging up the main reason is just from
a temperature change if your device is sitting somewhere cool hasn't been turned on for a while
and you go and put it on your nice warm face that temperature difference will cause the lenses to
fog up you might also experience this if you wear glasses and you're outside in the cold
and then you come in side where it's nice and warm all of a sudden your lenses will fog up
same principle applies here the tip here is trying to reduce that temperature difference if you can
try and keep your device in a warmer area or some people actually set it under a blanket or
under a towel so it'll kind of heat up or warm up the device also i've seen some people recommend
actually using a blow dryer on medium heat and warming up the lenses that way kind of scares me i
don't know if i'd recommend that just the risk of warping or ruining the lenses sometimes it can be
as simple as just heating it up with your breath as long as you don't put too much condensation
on there and then just cleaning it with a clean microfiber cloth that will also clean the lenses
that way as well or right after you get playing maybe after a minute or two take it off and then
clean it with a microfiber cloth eventually those lenses will warm up and you'll notice
that the fogging won't be there anymore after a while second main reason maybe from condensation
or fogging after you've been using the device for a little bit especially if you've been working out
you're sweating a lot that condensation will kind of build up on the lenses now you can do the same
thing here just take the device off and wipe it down with a microfiber cloth but if you're
someone that doesn't want to take it off maybe you're in the middle of a workout then there
are a few things that you might want to invest in you can get a different and better face shield one
popular one is vr cover facial interface and it'll actually have vents in it so that'll allow more
air flow in there it will definitely reduce fogging in general reduce condensation as well
there's also a facial interface by bobo vr that actually has a fan on there that will actively
circulate the air that will reduce fogging and condensation now the device does sit on top and
it is something you have to keep charged and it is a fan so it does add some noise to it so
that's something to consider and i'll provide the links to these in the description below so
you can definitely check out that and check out the reviews of those as well now if you're liking
these tips and these vr and i videos definitely hit that like button for me i also have some other
videos coming out one about vr and contact lenses so definitely watch out for that video another
tip and a lot of people have asked me about this one if it's okay to use these anti-fog
lens wipes now this one's a little bit tricky for me because oculus quest 2 has specifically stated
not to use any kind of chemicals or spray any cleaners on the surface of the lenses because
it could ruin the lenses now these anti-fog lens wipes are actually approved for glasses
glasses that have coatings on there so it's definitely safe to use but i don't want to come
right out and recommend using anti-fog lens wipes because i don't know what the long-term use would
be on these types of lenses so this one's kind of a use at your own risk type of thing definitely
don't use the anti-fog lens spray because just by spraying that extra fluid on there could ruin the
seal of the lenses on there now a couple other tips people have mentioned sometimes they'll
purposely leave a gap between their nose and the device to help with air circulation or sometimes
they'll just play in front of a fan blowing on them it cools them down it also provides a little
bit extra air circulation that way another reason and this one definitely is not common but it's
possible is sometimes you can have air leaking out of the holes in your eyelids we all have these
tiny little drainage holes on our eyelids called puncta one on top one on bottom of each eyelid
that's usually where tears will actually drain out and drain down to your nose but sometimes
you can actually have air leak out and out onto the surface of the eye or sometimes they'll blow
out maybe onto your glasses and sometimes onto the quest 2 lenses again this is probably rare
but i definitely want to mention it if you try and do everything else you could have air leaking out
of your eyes i know it's crazy but it's possible now just remember the main reasons why your oculus
quest 2 might be blurry big one is usually an alignment issue whether it's vertical horizontal
a pd issue maybe a distance issue from your eyes to the lenses and i go over that in depth
in the other video so make sure you check that out another big reason is your actual eyes if you have
astigmatism or if you wear or need glasses for distance remember vr simulates distance vision
so if you need glasses to see three four five six feet out then you're definitely going to
want to wear glasses when you're playing vr another reason just could be the limitation
of the device whether it's the limitation of the fresnel lenses the limitation of the software or
the resolution or limitation of the game so just remember looking through vr the oculus quest 2
it won't be as clear as looking at your phone or a high definition tv now if these tips didn't
help i have other tips where i go more in depth in this video and also my other vr
videos right there make sure you're subscribed i'm Dr. Neal Guymon, Dr. EyeGuy, stay focused.
