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.
One of the things that I love the most about my reloptix prescription lens inserts is that I don't even think about them. May sound a little strange but what it means is when I pull off my glasses and put on my quest 3 The lenses are just there. Simple, easy, efficient and giving me a beautiful view in my headset. At first I wasn't sure about having to constantly pull my glasses off but measuring that against scratching either my glasses, which happened in the past before getting the reloptix lenses, or the lenses on my VR headset it's no contest. Thanks so much for making such a wonderful quality product that was so easy to order.

Reloptix HP Reverb G2 Lens Insert Kit-Prescription
The Reloptix Team was fantastic in assisting me through the lens selection process. I had an unusual prescription and had many questions before ordering. Jason answered all questions quickly, thoroughly and professionally giving me full explanations and recommendations.
The lenses themselves were easy to install and provide me a sharp and satisfying VR experience. It's easy now to switch between using my contacts or using the lens inserts.
Great product, great service, excellent value! Thank you, Reloptix!

Worth the wait !!
I wear a complex prescription and was a little hesitant to order these lenses. I sent them a text with my concerns. They told me to text them a copy of my latest prescription with my order, which I did. Took them a while, but was well worth the wait. They NAILED IT ! Works great. So much better than squeezing my glasses into my quest. Outstanding! Thanks Reloptix.

Perfect lenses
One of the best choices I could have made. Really easy to install, don’t get in the way, perfect fit, ease of mind in preventing own glasses from scratching the screen. The inserts come off easy if you are passing the quest to someone else. Would recommend every time.

Amazing
I had a rift back in 2016. I thought my prescription was too strong for lense inserts. I wore glasses under it and it hurt. It was pretty uncomfortable. I tried to get it going again and couldn't. So I finally picked up a quest 3 and decided to get the lenses this time.
These are amazing! Reloptix seems to put alot of care and pride into there product. I can almost see better in VR than i can in real life. My eyelashes dont rub them even with the facial interface spacer setting real close. It's comfortable as ever. Feels like VR for the first time again.

Love the lenses!
I’d heard people say these lenses are a game changer and they sure are. Makes wearing the headset more comfortable. Since I have bifocals I was concerned they were only the distance script but they are perfect!
Outstanding product. I have severe astigmatism and with these glasses I can play and read text without squinting and getting headaches. Thank you so much. The shipping was fast too.

A real game-ing changer!
My Reloptix prescription lenses for my Meta Quest 2 are a real game changer. I used to need my contact lenses to go to VR. Now I just pop on the headset and away I go. My only suggestion for Reloptix, the price is too low!
