What is the best choice for eyeglass wearers?

Sprank1
Explorer
I know there are a few options for users that need glasses.  I have been doing some research on which might be the best but wanted to get some opinions here.  
What have you used ?  
How easy are they to use?  
Any opinions on which ones are the best?

Thanks.

I wear my glasses under the headset without issue. Current frames are Oakley Clubface, not sure on size, but I think it was the larger of two sizes offered. I've also tested a few of my older frames of similar design/size, not a problem with those either. I think any traditional design will work except maybe aviators. The giant plastic frame birth control goggles that have gotten popular may also have issues.

If you find it a problem, you can try https://vr-lens-lab.com/ or one of the others. That way you don't need glasses or contacts while using the Rift, but it also means no one else can use your rift without swapping the lenses.

 Whenever I get a new pair of glasses, I always save the old pair for emergencies. Fortunately, that comes in handy when you want to try different pairs in the Rift to see which one works best.

I have a set of VRLENSLAB lenses and they work perfectly well, with the caveat that there is some getting used to the slight "barreling" from the lenses being back to front. I use blu-tac to hold them in and have had zero issues.

(assuming the link works) I am going to get a set of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oculus-Rift-Adapter-Frame-for-VR-Lens-Lab-Lenses-/142391930424?var=&hash=item2127386e38:m:mWN82wdrhU_XLoUY24hULHQ

as they look easier to remove/insert.

There's also the widmo ones I've heard good things about. That's what I plan on getting eventually. Wearing glasses in the rift isn't comfortable for me, my glasses are small but it still pushes them into my face and hurts the bridge of my nose after about 10 minutes no matter how I set it up. 
My vision isn't to bad, I don't wear glasses regularly, but I do like them when I'm gaming. For now I just do without in the rift.

You have NEVER addressed what about people that would like to demo the Rift and wear glasses?

Buying special VR-friendly glasses is a solution for the owner(s). Not friends and family. 
Why can't Oculus manufacture bigger faceplate? The original detaches. Should be a no-issue to create something wider that even touches the HMD straps.
