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

Quality Design and Engineering
Quality Design and Engineering
We pride ourselves on our thoughtful design and attention to detail. From bevel placements to easily removed magnetic attachment, Reloptix stands out from the competition.
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
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.
With -9.5 vision and an astigmatism in one eye and -7.4 in the other, I had my doubts VR prescription lenses would actually work. Every other company that cuts these VR lenses took one look at those numbers and threw me under the bus faster than the speed of light. Yet these Reloptix lenses perfectly corrected my vision, against all odds, for my Quest 3. They even caught a mistake I made when I gave my original prescription numbers to prevent the lenses from being cut incorrectly. 10/10 customer service and quality. Not often I have the privilege of saying that.

Amazing!
I love my lenses! Easy to install and so much more comfortable than my glasses! My prescription is high enough that a lot of stores won't offer it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did Reloptix offer it, but the price was also reasonable. No regrets!

Great Lenses
I am very nearsighted, but can see perfectly with these lenses; the prescription is spot on. The quest headset already feels bulky and uncomfortably heavy, so wearing my regular glasses inside is a big no. These lenses magnetically fall right into place. They do move a tad when I stop to readjust the headset, but then pop right back into place. Another plus is that I can use just one lens if I’m wearing only one contact lens.
Thank you Reloptix for a well made and well presented product.
My Quest 3 Prescription Lens kit by Reloptix arrived on time and fitted my Quest 3 easily and made life a lot clearer.
Recommend these to anyone who wears glasses and uses VR.
I'm delighted with my Reloptix lenses for the Quest 3. They work perfectly, so much better than wearing glasses with the headset on, and being magnetic they can be easily removed for other users and put back on again afterwards. The packaging is great too, a strong box and individual pouches to safely store them when they are off the Quest. So nice to receive a signed card with them to thank me for the purchase; a small touch, but very thoughtful .

Works great!
The lenses arrived relatively quickly, and are perfectly clear with a super easy install. No issues at all with them getting to fit in, the magnets click them into place with no issue. The ease of installation and removal also makes it so easy to clean them when they get dirty. Literally couldn't do VR without them!

Exceeded my expectations
I have a tricky prescription that combines high correction, stigmatism, and high prism. Reloptix got it exactly right on the first attempt. I was very impressed, and the lenses make using the headset much more comfortable.
The lenses are special ordered because of my eyes and the shape of them. This, however did not create a problem as I was sent my lenses and upon placing them in they looked amazing and without any flaws. Very surprised with this asy eye doctor often messed up the lenses for my glasses. Pleased to say that I will be buying a new version for the updated models in the future. Thank you.
