Yes, you can wear your glasses. You can also provide your prescription to third party companies to make you lense inserts if you're willing to spend extra money. Some are held with magnets and easily removable, others are a little more annoying to get in and out. But they're great and totally worth it if you're getting into VR.

Yes. Any game will play using the headset. But it will just look like you have a big TV in front of you. They will still be "flat" games, but you can play them with the headset on. But you won't be "in" the game, if that's what you're thinking. Like of you're playing a first person game, you won't be in it.

Thanks - this is what I was wondering. I had never used a VR headset and didn’t know how it would work with existing games (or if it would work at all).
I don't have a psvr 2 but I do have a psvr 1 and wear glasses. I was able to find these soft, clear plastic bumpers I could put on my glasses (around the hinges) to prevent my glasses from scratching the VR lenses
In regards to your second question, I can't comment on PSVR2 but I'd expect it to be the same. You can use PSVR1 as a normal screen. It's like playing at a cinema, a big bright screen amongst the blackness.
This is the case. Nothing fancy in your periphery, it's just a display in the void. Kinda nice if you are looking to game without any distractions, though I wish they had done something fancier for the second generation like add theater/wilderness/sci-fi type backgrounds to go around the display for a more immersive experience.
Guess it might be too hard for the console to do when they're trying to eke out every last ounce of performance from the hardware for those games.
Hey, wrt your second question, there are lenses made specifically for PS VR2, such as ones from HonsVR or VROptician.
I can personally recommend the former, they've been a godsend vs wearing my glasses and take very little effort to actually put into the headset and adjust. Plus, they're fairly cheap IMO, but VROptician isn't bad either tbh.
(FWIW I also have bifocals, but these lenses are specifically to correct nearsightedness)
VR looks far away due to the lenses in the headset, so you'll need your distance glasses.
PSVR1 was definitely the most comfortable for glasses wearers (comparing to the Oculus Rift and Quest 2), due to being able to slide the headset back and forth into position. PSVR2 seems to retain this.
If you've not used VR before it might take a while to get your VR legs. Use teleporting to start with, then VR locomotion with left/right "flicking". Smooth left/right turning is awful for me, even after all these years.
Just to put this out there. I use relatively small glasses, not like massive circular ones. I managed to use them with the psvr2.
Have you tried using smooth turning whilst sitting down? If I stand up woth vr games and use smooth turn. It messes with me a bit. But when sitting down, it's a ton easier
I find it a little better if there's a frame around it, like you're piloting something hefty like a mech or something.
Even sat down for Minecraft, it's flick turn or I'm out. There's a VR chat golf world with a rotating platform on it. If I stand on it, I'm binned in seconds.
