Can the Meta Quest 3 be worn comfortably with glasses ?
The Meta Quest 3 is designed to deliver an immersive and comfortable VR experience, even for glasses wearers. With tailored accessories like the glasses spacer and customizable settings, you can adjust the headset to protect your frames and optimize your vision.
In this guide, discover all the steps to wear the Meta Quest 3 with glasses, from installing the spacer to adjusting lens distance for optimal comfort.
Why a glasses spacer is necessary
To ensure optimal comfort and prevent damage to your glasses or the headset lenses, it’s essential to increase the distance between your face and the Meta Quest 3 lenses. This adjustment accommodates the specific dimensions of your glasses.
Compatible glasses dimensions
Before using the Meta Quest 3 with your glasses, ensure they meet the following dimensions:
- Maximum width : 142 mm
- Maximum height : 50 mm
If your glasses exceed these dimensions, consider using third-party accessories or prescription lenses tailored for the headset.
Installing the glasses spacer
The Meta Quest 3 headset comes with a glasses spacer included. Here’s how to install it :
- Remove the facial interface foam : Gently detach the foam from the facial interface to access the headset’s base.
- Attach the glasses spacer : Take the provided spacer and securely snap it into place, ensuring proper alignment.
- Reattach the foam : Once the spacer is installed, replace the foam on the facial interface for optimal comfort.
Adjusting lens distance
If you wear glasses, you may need to adjust the position of the headset’s facial interface to increase the distance between the lenses and your face.
- Locate the eye relief buttons : These buttons are positioned on the right and left sides near the lenses.
- Adjust the facial interface :
- Press both buttons simultaneously.
- Gently pull the facial interface to move it away from the lenses.
- Check the position of the white marker indicating the distance. Ensure the distance is even on both sides.
- Test the fit : Try the headset to ensure the distance is comfortable and your vision is unobstructed.

Putting on and taking off the headset with glasses
To avoid damaging your glasses or the headset:
- Putting on the headset : Place it on your forehead first, then gently pull it back into position.
- Removing the headset : Reverse the motion by pulling it forward.
Options for larger glasses
If your glasses are too large for the provided spacer, you can:
- Look for third-party spacers compatible with larger frames.
- Opt for corrective lenses specifically designed for the Meta Quest 3.
By following these steps, you can fully enjoy your Meta Quest 3 while wearing your glasses. Take the time to properly adjust the headset to ensure a comfortable and immersive VR experience.
