Avoiding sunlight damage with your Meta Quest 2

Updated: 5 weeks ago

To avoid damaging your lenses and display, keep your headset away from anywhere that it might get exposed to the sun.

To keep your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest safe from sun exposure, follow these tips:

  • Don't store or leave your headset anywhere where it can be exposed to sunlight. The lenses inside your headset can be permanently damaged from less than a minute of exposure to direct sunlight even if it's indoors.
  • Do not use your headset outdoors.
  • If you need to transport your headset, do so in a bag or case that keeps it safe and protected from direct sunlight.
