I’m using the VRmust lenses in my 8KX and I had to use both the thin foam from pimax plus a VRmust thick foam on top (not the triangular one that the lenses come with, the other one that VRmust sells specifically for the 8KX). Once I did that along with some other mods, they are actually super comfortable, and I really like the lenses. The frame is ever so slightly too long causing it to bow up and not lay flat. I was an idiot and tried to press it flat and put too much pressure on the right VRmust lens tonight and ended up cracking it! I don’t think it is a defect in the lens, I just put way too much pressure on it, so don’t let that dissuade you from getting them.
Interestingly, it is a relatively thin crack vertically through the middle and I barely notice it in game. Still I want everything to be perfect so I want to replace it. I emailed VRmust support to see if I can purchase a replacement for just the right eye. We’ll see what they say, especially since the website currently says that they are sold out. Also, if you have the issue with them not laying flat, you can shave a bit off of the end until it lies flat. I wish I had tried that first, but live and learn.
I heard back from support already! They are letting me buy just a single replacement lens to fix my mistake. It also sounds like the reason that they are currently out of stock is that there might be a new and improved version coming.
I had the same problem. Big ol’ clumsy fingers and fingernails! These made it so I can get them out much more easily. Basically rubber tweezers. Was a bit of a learning curve but now I’m good at it.
@isamu I recently tried a prescription lens adapter solution and it works great with the Pimax 8KX. I think it would work great with the StarVR One as well.
If you are new to contact lenses, one thing that can help for removing which I used to do - slide the contact to the side of your eye before attempting to snatch it. If you slide it with a finger from the outside part you can avoid having to touch the sensitive front of the eye. If you look the opposite direction it gives you good access to the lens. Now days it doesn’t bother me and I take my lenses on and off quite easily with just a finger and thumb.
