In 2018, longtime online friends Will, an industrial designer and Jason, an optician hadn't met in person untill a mutual friend's wedding. Both were VR users and both had the same problem: Wearing glasses in VR was terrible.
The scratched lenses, the frame pressure and headaches. There had to be a better solution than what was currently available. Jason had some ideas from his many years in the optical industry but hadn't fleshed them out yet.
He presented his ideas to Will, and they reached an agreement to work together on a solution. They aimed for a blend of traditional eyewear aesthetics with ergonomic features prioritizing user comfort.
Why not provide the absolute best, even if it means sacrificing a little profit

High-Quality Optics
High-Quality Optics
While some companies charge extra for higher-end lenses, Reloptix lenses are premium high-index with anti-reflective or blue light coated as a standard.
We also tune your prescription to the specific headsets' depth of field; giving you a better quality image and sense of immersion.
Customer Service and Value

We pride ourselves on our customer service and ability to cater to individual customers needs. whether that be special high prescription lenses or a custom insert for a user with disabilities, we try our best to accommodate.
Where other companies have turned away customers, Reloptix has been able to help thousands experience VR like everyone else.
Reloptix sources their lenses from the same companies that white label lenses for a lot of the big names in the optical industry, cutting out the middle-man. This ensures high quality at a lower price and allows us to offer a larger array of lens powers and coatings for a flat rate.
We wanted to make a solution that people bought not just because they needed it to see but, overall elevates their experience.

Timeline
2019
Initial Design and Development
R&D started in the later part of 2019 on the Quest 1 and Rift S. Many different designs with quick detach features we're posed but none match the ease of removal and versatility of magnetic attachment.
Easy removal also meant ease of retrieval which seemed to be a issue with several of the units on the market. This is where the tab we include on most of our inserts comes in, giving the user a soft, tactile portion to grab and not come in contact with the lenses.
2020
Company Founding and Kickstarter
Like most companies, the beginning of 2020 brought development to a temporary standstill. The middle of 2020 saw a major ramp up and after many prototypes we're tested, an eventual final production model was agreed upon.
Jason and Will proceeded to focus on establishing production and commencing a Kickstarter endeavor for funding. The outcome of this campaign was not as anticipated, yet they pressed on by personally financing Reloptix and upholding the support of a large portion of their contributors.
2021
Early Success
Design and production was entirely in-house, utilizing Jason's basement as a lens lab and Will's home office as a design studio. Leveraging their established presence in the online VR community, word-of-mouth sales began to occur.
VR groups and influencers started to recognize Reloptix, building a name for quality and customer service within the VR community.
2022
Company Expands
With exceptional products and diligent customer service. Expansion was certain. Reloptix advances to a fulfillment center to manage rising demand.
Upon addressing the challenges and enhancing the fresh supply chain, sales commence to escalate, setting new company benchmarks.
2023 - 2024
Plans for expansion
With a global vision, Reloptix is working on offering improved shipping rates, with the UK in mind.
Additional areas are being considered to aid in fulfillment efforts in Europe.
The whole lens kit is absolutely great. The bases are super easy to install, which almost seems like the wrong word to use because all you do is pop them straight out of the box. The lenses are my exact prescription with no issues (added anti reflective coating, no blue light), and are so nice to be able to take on and off swiftly between users. The nice hard case is an added bonus. As someone who wears glasses, it is such a gift to finally be able to play VR and get the full experience from it comfortably. I played psvr1 with bumpers while wearing my glasses, and this is a night and day difference (obviously an upgrade with psvr2, but also comfort, immersion, fit, you name it). Absolutely worth the money. For reference, I also got the globular cluster comfort strap to be able to position the vr appropriately for these prescription lenses (distance, spacing, angle). Perfect set up.
Love it. Clips in with no problem. The magnetic feature is the reason I got these as wanted to try these out with non-prescription lenses first. So friends can use it when they come round.
Now I've already ordered the prescription lenses as well which should simply swap in & out.
Only wish the production & delivery was quicker but hey, I am patient. Can't wait ! :)

Fantastic! A totally different experience than using the Oculus with glasses.
I put off ordering these because I have a pretty complicated prescription: both eyes are very different from each other and I have a pretty significant astigmatism, so I was skeptical they would get it right or that they would work properly if they did.
I shouldn't have worried. The whole process was very simple, the lenses came almost a week before they were scheduled, and they're perfect.
I've had the Oculus 2 for several years, and I can honestly say I never truly appreciated it while I was wearing glasses.
Well worth the wait works nicely no glasses makes it so I can be in vr for hours thanks

Sorry, I don't like them. I love them!
I've wear progressive glasses or progressive contact lens and have never liked the focus or comfort level while using my Quest 2.
Now I can adjust the strap tight enough to feel secure while playing VR golf or tennis and still be comfortable without the usual pressure of glasses on my nose or eyebrows. The focus factor of your lens are superior to both my glasses or contacts, and exponentially improved my entire VR experience.
The entire kit components and packaging are top shelf. Well done!
Prescription lens works well. Finally I can play vr without wearing glasses

Bang-On
The prescription is perfect, the magnetic system makes them incredibly simple and convenient and they come in a sick black case that looks like it came out of Metal Gear Solid. These are a great purchase.

Best upgrade for VR. Ever.
Usually I do not do reviews but this is a magical product! I recently dusted off my Quest 3 to wire it into my PC and play Elite Dangerous in VR. Again. My eyes ain't even that bad, but the game has a lot of menues and details to keep track of. And I don't have a good experience with glasses in a VR headset. So I did a dare, submitted my prescription (simple photo of the numbers is enough, no personal details needed) and ordered a pair of lenses. And the folks at Reloptix delivered as promised. 100% and then some. Good communication, great packaging, even a personal note and super easy installation. And the results are INCREDIBLE! Did not expect this to work so well and it's like a magical 4k upgrade for your VR experience. Could not be happier, thank you!

These are incredible!
I can't stress enough how much these met and exceeded my expectations! They are super easy to install (and remove) and the clarity is just as good as my prescription glasses. Doubling as a headset lens protector is a great thing as well. I highly recommend these for my fellow glasses folks out there!
