I use Healing Shield lens films (43mm). https://www.amazon.com/Healingshield-Watch-Protector-Guard-1-65in/dp/B00SJ22DBK

Sigh.. yeah.. Oculus saved a buck fifty on manufacturing costs by excluding mechanical lens spacing adjustment, but instead let customers play Russian roulette depending on the shape of their face.. An unbelievably stupid decision.

Anyway, the first version of Rift, this fella, was a bit tight in the glasses department, so for Rift S, Oculus compensated. They may, in fact, have overcompensated with this excessively wide, deep face gasket. There's plenty of room for glasses, but if you have a flat, wide face, it can have a negative impact on the visuals as your eyes get stuck pretty far from the lenses, lowering the field of view & affecting lens clarity. If your head is more on the slim, angular side it should be just fine though. You do want to get your eyes as close to the lenses as possible, so you'll probably find contacts preferable as putting glasses in there most likely increases the eye-to-lens distance.

There's a company called VRCover that makes replacement face pads/gaskets, though, and they'll be releasing their Rift S products "soon," which will no doubt feature models that are a bit.. slimmer. There are also prescription lens inserts available. They're a bit pricey, but a drastic improvement in friction of use as you can effectively have a pair of glasses permanently attached to the headset, so definitely worth it in the long run (compared to fiddling with the glasses every time you take the headset on or off, and risking scratches to either the headset or your glasses).

If you don't want to get those lens inserts though, I highly recommend getting some kind of lens protector to protect both the headset & your glasses. The ones in that link worked great with the old Rift, but unsure about Rift S as it has differently shaped lenses.

These are what I use. I like 'em! Might want to measure: I think that I got the 43mm ones but I'm not 100% sure.

i got these and it works wonders, no liquids and works great for the rift.

You can use protectors like Healingshield. They're super soft, so they don't scratch even if you touch them with your glasses.

Ah as for the healing shield here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Healingshield-Watch-Protector-Guard-1-69in/dp/B00SJ22DBK
You can get them in different sizes. 43 or 44 are apparently suitable sizes I will try and report back.

Great job and invisible.

I would also recommend these watch protectors that can be applied to the lens:

I wear glasses similar to you, and bought these watch protectors to put on the lenses. I personally can't tell they're there at all when I'm wearing my Rift. The 43s are a little too small though the 45 or 46 options would likely be the best bet.

Looks like the best option are this: https://www.amazon.com/Healingshield-Watch-Protector-Guard-1-65in/dp/B00SJ22DBK?th=1 But i'm not sure about the mm. is 43 okay?

Yeah a lot of people including me have used the watch protectors like this one. It's funny, all the related items are VR stuff.

This is the old go to for the Rift, they don’t cover the whole lens but the majority of it.

I went for these (I'm in the UK), they do various sizes but these are 43mm:

They don't cover the whole lens but most of it. They are also fiddly to apply. But well worth it. I scratched my lenses previously, and now I don't worry about them anymore.
