Some people's eyeballs don't get along well with contacts, even single use disposables.

No idea about the Vive headset, but Oculus recently stated that their consumer version's fit over glasses is better than the development kits'.

Even cheap dslr cameras have a small +/-3 diopter adjustment in the eyepiece. Something like that would at least let people with such easy corrections use VR without contacts or glasses.

For other corrections, wouldn't it be quite simple to have a slot for drop-in corrective lenses?

Nearsighted and contacts are very uncomfortable for me. Also, astigmatism.

So, yeah. I'm screwed.

Yeah, imagine my surprise when I saw that google was working on those hand gestures radar things and then my disappointment when i realized that I can't do any of those gestures because of peripheral neuropathy. My thumb on my right hand has limited mobility, so hopefully it will be able to pick up my half-assed attempts to mimic the movements or i'll be screwed.
