The systems and methods described can include approaches to calibrate head-mounted displays for improved viewing experiences. Some methods include receiving data of a first target image associated with an undeformed state of a first eyepiece of a head-mounted display device; receiving data of a first captured image associated with deformed state of the first eyepiece of the head-mounted display device; determining a first transformation that maps the first captured image to the image; and applying the first transformation to a subsequent image for viewing on the first eyepiece of the head-mounted display device.
