Where can I buy fresnel lenses to make my own VR headset? In optics store? Where they sell eyeglasses?
Can fresnel lenses be crafted for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism?

Most of what I see are thin sheets of fresnel panels, and I don't think those will be what you need.

Not even the cheapest google cardboard knockoff I've seen uses Fresnel lenses, I would think you would get a lot of distortion, especially at the periphery.. I typically see recommended for diy cardboard headsets is a 5x bi-convex lens. Scavenging a lenses out of a couple of these should do nicely.


Edit, This is a slightly larger diameter, slightly longer focal length glass lens for quite a bit cheaper, but you would have to tweek the headset design a bit.

I would expect poor image quality and chromatic aberrations with a fresnel lens. The only advantage is they're thin compared to a standard optic lens. Most applications using fresnel lenses would be solar collection or light projection (for uniform light distribution) since these don't require high quality image reproduction.
