My goggles have just arrived and the same problem, I can't see anything because I wear progressive lens glasses. I wish I'd read this before purchasing
You will not be able to use your progressive lens prescription eyeglasses when using the Goggles. But the solution is simple, go to Walgreens and get a pair of cheap single-prescription "readers" that are about 0.75 diopter stronger than your normal reading glasses prescription. The increased strength is needed because your normal "reading" eyeglass prescription works for reading material that is typically 12-20 inches from your eyes. The Goggles screen is approx. the apparent equivalent of 3-4 inches from your eyes. My normal reader prescription is 1.75, but to see the Goggles LCD screens clearly, 2.5 readers work best for me. If you have greatly different reading eyeglass prescription for each eye, you will need to buy two pairs of readers with different prescriptions and swap out the lenses to make a custom set of "cheap" readers to use with your Goggles. Even some folks that currently don't need readers for normal reading will need readers to clearly see the Goggles LCD screens.
To see if you will need readers hold a magazine with small print 4 inches distance from your eyes. If the text is fuzzy - you will need readers. Yes - it's a pain, but it's a relatively cheap solution. Maybe DJI will add an "electronic" focus adjustment in a future firmware update for the Goggles for most of us "older" folk and even some younger folks that can not focus on objects 4 inches in front of our faces. It seems like such a thing should be possible. |
