Adjusting for the Most Comfortable Fit

1. Insert Prescription Lenses (Myopia/Hyperopia/Astigmatism)

Although the lens fitting process may be a bit cumbersome, it's well worth it for those with vision issues, as it ensures clear vision and better eye protection.

3. Reversal of Physical Buttons and Interface Mapping

The default mapping between the physical +/- Button on the temple and the on-screen controls may feel less intuitive or smooth for some users, similar to how some users initially struggle with the default mapping of Apple's mouse. 

To address this, a one-touch reversal feature is available to flip the mapping between the physical buttons and the menu interface.

• How To : Double-click the X Button to open the menu > Others interface > select Reverse Menu Direction, click the X Button to turn this feature on or off.
