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 approached Will with his ideas and the two agreed to partner up on a solution. Something that was aesthetically pleasing like traditional eyewear but, also ergonomic and keeping the user in mind.
Why not provide the absolute best, even if it means sacrificing a little profit

While some companies charge extra for higher-end lenses, Reloptix lenses are premium high-index with anti-reflective or blue light coating as a standard.

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 customer, 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, a eventual final production model was agreed upon.
Jason and Will then focused on establishing production and creating a Kickstarter campaign for funding. This campaign unfortunately was not successful but, instead of getting discouraged they persevered on a small budget and reached out to several of the Kickstarters to see if they we're still interested and started Reloptix.com.
2021
Early Success
Design and production was completely home grown the basement of Jason's house becoming a lens lab and Will home office becoming a design studio. From their already established names as VR users in the burgeoning online VR community, word of mouth sales started happening.
VR groups and influencers started to take notice and Reloptix started to make a name for itself in the VR community for its quality and customer service.

So perfect
I love that I can swap them out quickly so my husband can use them for a few seconds and I can easily snap them back in. All it takes is a little pull on the tab and it comes off but even during vr games it stays snug. I can see crystal clear with the prescription from my eye doctor.

Best upgrade I could’ve gotten for my quest 3
The quest 3 it’s a great peace of technology but before I used it with the reloptix the image was just ok. The reloptix are a game changer. Now I can experience the full power of the quest 3. Better image quality it’s equal to less motion sickness. Day and night difference. A must have product.
Great clarity, cool design (and box), very lightweight.
Only downside is that one of the tags is very loose.

Love 'em!
Definitely worth the money; much better than with contacts and without the clumsiness of glasses. Highly recommended!
The perscription lenses work well and match my glasses. They came in a very robust shipping/storage case. The bases were a bit fiddly to mount but the instruction videos were helpful and it is only a one time task. The lenses themselves are easy to mount/remove depending on who uses the headset.

Happy with purchase
No regrets on purchasing prescription lenses from Reloptix. Huge improvement in clarity and using my Quest 2 so much more than before. Very happy with lense received. Will purchase again.
Prior to buying these I was contomplating giving up on VR. I'd actually settled on selling it because of how blurred and out of focus it was. All for except a small dot at the centre of my screen was blurred so it was really unplayable. I have glasses but I don't wear them often and with the price of VR lenses I wasn't totally sure if it would be worth it or not but it definitely has been. To my total surprise the quality is now absolutely incredible, I can see with amazing clarity it's honestly amazing. I was so trepedacious because I thought it might be a problem with the headset or maybe the lenses wouldn't make a big difference but they definitely have and now I can play no problems! It was 100% worth buying!
