Is there any VR that works decently for people with glasses? I tried VR for the first time last week and it was quite annoying for me, both for how the glasses were handled and some blurry vision from time to time. I'd never try it again by choice.

I have a Quest 2 and it fits pretty good. You can adjust the width of the lenses to match your eyes. The Quest 2 also comes with a spacer specifically for people with glasses which spaces the headset away from your face. If you were using someone else's VR who doesn't wear glasses this spacer is almost certainly tucked in a drawer or was thrown away with the box. These factors are easily overlooked and possibly a contributing factor to your poor experience. Also, if you're going to buy a VR headset in general; consider the cable, head straps, and face pads to be consumable. They break all the time and there's no good way to clean the face pads.

  I got dedicated lenses for my Quest 2 so I don’t need to use the spacer. Much more comfortable than wearing glasses also, and only like 60 bucks to buy online.

I used to wear glasses inside my Samsung Odyssey HMD until they started scratching one of the lenses (luckily I noticed before it became visible while using the headset, it was fine for a few months though) then ordered a set of prescription clip-on lenses. The clip-on lenses are great.

There are a couple of headsets that allow you to adjust the diopter of the lenses so you don't need to wear glasses, e.g. Vive Flow or HuaweiVR. Both of them however have numerous other big issues, so I really would not recommend them. PanasonicVR/MeganeX is an upcoming one that has the same ability and that might be a descent headset otherwise, however it's going to be expensive (~$1300 for the full kit). The cheaper alternative are prescription lens inserts, they get put on top of the existing lenses and replace the glasses.

I use a Quest 2, and use a 3D printed prescription lens adapter. It does a great job - you forget they’re even there when they’re on. I have an astigmatism, so a simple diopter adjustment wouldn’t be enough for me anyhow. Here’s the source for the printable portion: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3642004 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3642004 The lenses were cheap - the design is around a cheap pair of glasses from one of the online stores. While it’s been a long time since I put mine together, I want to say I have <$20 in the prescription lens adapters.
