Now you can order prescription Snapchat Spectacles. Here’s how...

Dec 5, 2016, 18:04 IST
There are various conceivable reasons that may clarify why the Google Glass bombed, yet it appears that Snap Inc. took a page off Google's playbook, tore it to pieces and re-examined the wearable smartglasses concept with a hitting new mass-market request component that was absent in Google Glass.

Rochester Optical, a lens maker situated in Rochester, New York, is presently cutting and offering prescribed lenses for Spectacles, the organization reported Thursday.

“We’ve been working with heads-up displays for a long time, and Spectacles are just a form of smart glasses without the heads-up-display. We already cut similar notches in lenses for Google Glass to accommodate the HUD, so cutting rounded notches in the lens corners to work around the Spectacle cameras is very similar,” said Patrick Ho, CEO of Rochester Optical

How much?

Prices begin at $99 for single-standard vision lens, $149 for high-file lens and photochromic or spellbound lenses for $199. While it's great that more individuals can bounce on the Spectacles craze, Rochester Optical's price points are very elevated, drifting close to the Spectacle's at $130.

From where?

The turnaround time to finish a request is 2-3 days in addition to 1-day shipping. This excludes the time it would take for you to dispatch the wearable to Rochester Optical.
