UPDATE 29/10/17
After maybe 15 hours in the Rift, here's an update on my thoughts on WIDMOVR lenses & cover.
Fitting the Rift
Being new to the Rift, I had lots of problems with my lenses steaming up, the unit feeling uncomfortable, everything looking a bit blurry (not resolution/VR related) etc
I've now sorted these problems, though it took me several days just to work out how to get the Rift comfortable on my head. After googling and experimenting, I found it best to:
The Rift still didn't quite feel right, so today, I tried a beanie. Wow. Everything is now snug, cosy, clear and non-steamy. Lovely.
Cover
I like it and will continue to use it. The rift now feels comfortable on my face, the cover doesn't itch and everything feels hygienic. I can't imagine why I would want to remove it (apart from washing it)
Lenses
The lenses have never popped out, are a good distance from the Rift lenses. I do have to look pretty much straight through the middle of the lens to get the clearest text otherwise there is a little distortion . However, I can still read text clearly enough through the distortion, so it's not too bad.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchases, and would buy them again if I had to.

After the expected 2 weeks since placing an order with WIDMOVR (https://widmovr.com/), my prescription lenses & Occ Rift cover arrived this morning.
I took a few pics for anyone who's interested.
Packaging is tight and safe
Lenses come in a protective foam sleeve inside a pouch, instructions in the box. Cover comes in a pouch
Fitting both items took me about 10 mins in total. Now I know what I'm doing, next time it'll only take 2-3 mins . If I can do it, anyone can!
I decided to fit the cover first, then the lenses. The cover has 2 integrated elastic straps. I put on the first elastic strap then put the cover on. After I'd put on the 2nd elastic strap, I realised I couldn't get the lenses in properly. I unwound the 2nd strap, fitted the lenses, then re-wound the 2nd strap. The lenses now feel secure and tight.
I'll post an update on comfort, vision improvement etc once I've used them for a few days.

I've now sorted these problems, though it took me several days just to work out how to get the Rift comfortable on my head. After googling and experimenting, I found it best to:
- Loosen all the straps as much as possible
- Make sure the triangle at the back sat below the crown on my head. Originally, I had it far too high up, and it was digging into my head.
- Tilt the unit down to get the right focus
- Hold the unit until I have the best clarity
- Make sure it is not resting on my nose or digging into my forhead
- Still holding the unit in place with one hand, tighten the top strap slightly and check everything looks clear
- slightly tighten the side 2 straps
