I've been wearing glasses for every VR session I've been playing and I'm worrying that I'm scratching the lens of the VR and I can't tell if they're damage or not. How can I check if they're damaged or not and what do I use to PROPERLY clean the lens?
and does anyone recommend where I can buy replacement lens?

To clean get a good quality microfiber cloth, you can get lens inserts for any headset out there currently and almost everyone would recommend you going that route.
I was using glasses for a while with my OG vive and I don't think i've seen any new scratches come from regular use, but if you want to preserve your lenses get the special inserts.
You cannot replace the lenses unless you specifically have an adapter and lens from another device like the "samsung gear vr" mod for vive/vive pro

a little fix waaay alot of money, got it 
celest harness
I mean lens inserts from vroptician is about 60-80
If you got a cheap headset I'd say don't bother buf if you got a quest 3/valve index or anything you really don't want to lose it should be a well worth investment

Polywatch can help in some scenarios to repair the scratches, from what i've heard it works but can vary depending on how deep the gauges are
that would be all of what I know regarding this @unreal trail

I got vive OG for 300 USD but I can't play without glasses, and with glasses is forcing me to put my VR lens furthest way, reducing my FOV. even then it still ruins the experience a bit

Here at this point a full set costs 150-180 euros, yeah it sucks since I've had to do the same for about 2 years

@unreal trail Also I forgot to answer the actual question, if you want to check for scratches get an angled light from your phone and move the headset around a bit, you should be able to see some marks
unreal trail
I see one or two lines and alot of dots (I think that's dust)
but I can't tell if I can see the scratches when wearing it or not cause I wear my glasses in it, and in next 10 mins my glasses lens starts to fog up and get dirty
celest harness
if you want you can try to take a picture of it, i'll show you an example in a sec
unreal trail
I don't htink me sending a pic here will work since the camera quality isn't great for close up
celest harness
you can do pictures like this
like a bit angled with light from the top or the sides
for example the left eye has a few very minor scratches, these will be basically unnoticable
unreal trail
okay I'll try to send you that.
unreal trail
@celest harness left len is full of small scratches
celest harness
that looks not bad at all, mine with lens mod is 100 times worse but still usable
so i'd say you're fully fine to keep doing what you were doing
unreal trail
I can't. if I do I'll make significant damage. Remember I'm playing WITH my glasses inside, and my glasses are too big
so I'm planning to buy prescription lens insert. which sadly cost 110 USD here
celest harness
I have played with my glasses in the headset for nearly 2 years
and the amount of damage was negligible
and the gearvr mod pushes the lens out even closer to the glasses
unreal trail
well I'm still going latter anyway. cause my FOV is too low to enjoy it and I can't bring the lens closer to me. and also my glasses fogs up and gets dirty real quick
celest harness
personally it would be a better investment to upgrade to a vive pro with that price + some extra
unreal trail
oh that cost like 800 USD here
celest harness
what region are you from? south america?
unreal trail
Nope. Middle-east
celest harness
what about a quest 2? still very expensive I assume?
unreal trail
500 USD and I still need to buy glasses mode for it so another 100 USD
celest harness
yeah that's still a lot, up to you what you do but I get your pain
unreal trail
two reason why that is
celest harness
That does make sense, here most of VR was expensive because of low demand
unreal trail
btw. how safe is it for me to use Polywatch? (I think that's what they call it?)
celest harness
when following the steps probably completely fine
should be an FAQ or a reddit page on it
unreal trail
But that'll get rid of scratches?
