110 deg fov is a bit on the low side but I guess it'll have to do. I hate how 90% of VR headsets are designed to feel like you have binoculars strapped to your face, absolutely zero peripheral vision.
One of the reasons I put off getting corrective lenses for a long time and kept trying to use contacts despite how horrible they make my eyeballs feel, is that I have an extremely wide peripheral vision. I can see my fingers wiggle behind the plane defined by my shoulders, I will react to motion out there.
Having my FoV dumbed down to 90º sounds like hell, especially in a game where we are looking for opponents.
Playing Doom on a widescreen monitor with the FoV modifications made it a lot less annoying. I want that even more today.
There are tons of pro level headsets that go up to 170, the tech definitely exists, it's just not as cheap cause you need larger displays if you want to maintain dpi.

Have you tried rimless glasses? I don't think you need eye sight correction for your peripheral vision.

I am a bit confused: you can see your shoulders while you are looking forward?

It's not that they're "designed to feel like", it's that the technology for better than 110 degrees just isn't there yet.
