If you want to use the PlayStation VR2 while wearing glasses, then there is a possibility that you may end up scratching the lenses of the virtual reality headset. To prevent this from happening, you can get a spacer that prevents your glasses from hitting the VR lenses.
During your research, you may have found the PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector on Amazon. So, is this product worth getting? You can find out in this article from Seeking Tech.
What’s Included
The PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector features a left and right spacer insert for the lenses of the headset. It also features a microfiber cleaning cloth that you can use to wipe your glasses and the lenses clean.
All of these are stored inside a hard carrying case in case you need to take out the spacers and put them away somewhere safe.

Function
The PECOOVR Spacer does what it advertises as it adds a few extra centimeters to the outer edges of the left and right lenses in the PlayStation VR2 headset. By doing so, your glasses should not be able to make contact, and potentially scratch, the lenses.
While Sony has confirmed that you can wear glasses with the PS VR2, there have been many reports from consumers that they end up scratching the lens. Even if you are extremely careful when putting on and taking off the headset, scratches can happen if you move your head too much while playing a VR game.
Therefore, a spacer such as the PECOOVR can help save you time and money in terms of making you avoid sending your PlayStation VR2 unit in for repair.
We have been playing with the spacers equipped for dozens of hours so far and have found that the lenses of the VR headset have remained scratch free. These hours included playing titles that require a lot of movement such as Beat Saber, Pistol Whip and Les Mills BodyCombat.
Overall
As long as you installed it correctly, the PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector does what it advertises as the product creates space between the lenses of the headset and your glasses. As a result, your glasses won’t cause any scratches to the lens.
While a little bit on the expensive side, it does come with a cleaning cloth and hard carrying case. You can find the current price of the product on Amazon with this link. (#CommissionsEarned).
