I tried the consumer version while wearing glasses a few weeks ago. No lenses were changed out and the device just sat over top of the glasses, it was fairly comfortable but I only spent less than 5 mins with it on.

It works almost fine. I had to adjust the headset position on my face a couple of times to get better focus.

A player with glasses is on Giant Bomb's stream as I type this, and says "it ain't great". He's been at it 20-ish minutes.

My reading of this is that he's unhappy with using a gamepad for VR, which is understandable. I think the Vive is going to be much more impressive. Oculus launching without proper touch controllers was a very risky move. I think ultimately its going to hurt them, and people will be pissed that they need to spend another $200 to get what anyone would consider a proper VR experience.
