I've never used any smart glasses, but I do wear prescription glasses ("dumb" glasses?); don't these smart glasses products all clash with the field of prescription lenses? I mean, either they each have to provide the entire possible range of correction profiles, for use instead of what people wear now, or they need to be attachable/overlays for regular prescription glasses - which is complicated and doesn't look like what the providers are doing ATM. Or - am I getting it wrong?


Things like Vision and Quest have the ability to adapt to vision issues, but these things likely don’t.

I guess they could use a common “generic” form factor, that would allow prescription lenses to be ordered.

That said, this is really the ideal form factor (think Dale, in Questionable Content), and all headsets probably want to be it, when they grow up.


These offer a wide-ish profile of prescription lens options within the three lens types they support. It is definitely not the full gamut though.
