2. Starting from the back, put your headset on.
• If you’re wearing glasses, put the headset on from the front first.
3. Tighten the side tabs and then top strap.
• Make sure the straps aren't too tight. The headset should fit comfortably and shouldn't apply too much pressure on your face and head.

To adjust your view:

• If you wear glasses, learn more about prescription lenses for your Oculus Go, or insert the glasses spacer into your Oculus Go headset prior to using it.
