I wear progressive lenses (bifocals with "no lines") and there is NOTHING that I can do to see clearly in the DJI Goggles (or ANY goggles for that matter).  BUT I HAVE A FIX!

This fix works for me, and I don't know if it will work for you.  I don't know, because I'm not sure how or why this works, but it works perfectly.

I bought some cheap reading glasses at the Walgreen's (I got 2.5x I think).  Wearing these when wearing the DJI Goggles gives me perfect vision all around the screen!

Like I said, I don't know how or why this works.  But if you have the same problem, it may be worth it to try some reading glasses in varying magnifications.

I've do the same and works 100% also for me...reading glasses 2.5X. Bye

A great idea, I'd thought about contact lenses at first, and then wondered if these might work. This is the confirmation I was looking for

Good!  I think mine are 2.5X too.

Take your Goggles into the Walgreens and try on different magnifications.  You'll get the perfect set, and the Walgreen's employees will have some good entertainment.

Not yet available in this country (Goggles), but when the time comes I will be prepared. Brown paper bag over head should do the trick

Out of interest.  I have the same kind of issue although I have not gotten the progressive lenses yet, I have been able to struggle in life not being able to focus on things that are close!  Getting Old!!  Just out of curiosity, what is your normal prescription?  I am -5 ish in each eye. I shall be off to Walgreens tonight to see if the reading glasses trick works!

I worked my way up one diopter at a time to +3.25 with clarity increasing each time. I have +3.5 and +4.0 samples coming from Amazon as we speak. My regular script is +2.25. You are focusing on a screen two inches from your face. Your long distance vision does not come into play, nor do your long distance lenses. Any bifocal or progressive will result in split screen blur. Your PD will also be reduced to close vision PD. DJI had to know this would happen, though their CS people don't have a clue about any of the features of this new product. Good news is that the result when corrected is excellent.

Have a look at the nooz glasses. I have a pair of ovals and rectangle versions. They are actually quite nice.  Someone on this forum recommended these.

yea it was me , and agree they are perfect for goggles (any type) ..

I went to the eye doc and had him make me some custom glasses. Very small frame. I wear Bifocals so he just made my bottom view for the whole lens. Works great!!  I can't see squat when I take the goggles off though

My regular glasses work great.  So no need for me to change.
Good advice for those who can use this method.

Indeed. I ended up getting both the oval and rectangular.  

Thank you for the heads up on these. I use them out and about and leave my regular size spectacles at home.

Has anybody who wears glasses and preferably on the wrong side of 55 years old not been able to use the Goggles because they can't find suitable lenses ?


Edit:- I think I've found the answer, just tried it myself and shouldn't be too much of a problem if I get a pair of reading glasses as opposed to my varifocals.

In the goggle instructions it says the p4p has a focus adjust. The button next to the "back" button.  Doesn't seem to work. Had to go with the reading glasses. Why doesn't the focus work? Yes

The focus adjust you talk of is the focus control for the camera on the P4P.

The focus in question here is between our eyes and the Goggles screen. Both have to be set properly for us to see a clear crisp image.
If the metadata on the screen is clear to read and the image from your P4P is blurred, then the focus adjust button should work. But there could be an error in Goggles firmware perhaps, meaning that it doesn't yet work as intended. I do not know the answer to that one.

Dito......

I ended up getting a pair of prescription reading glasses made up with a shorter reading distance. Not quite 100%, but very very near perfect focus over full screen, certainly works well for me.
