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

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.
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!

Quest 3s prescription lenses
Since it’s vision related they should’ve had 20* instead of five, the questions I had were answered immediately, Jason did a great job. Thanks

When I bought my Meta Quest 3, I wasn't aware just how difficult and annoying having to wear my prescription glasses inside the device was going to be. I very quickly decided that there had to be a better way.
After looking around online, I discovered RELOPTIX and was delighted to see that not only was there a solution to my frustration but it seemed so easy to install that I had to give it a shot.
I went to my eye doctor and got an updated prescription. I then excitedly ran to my PC and started my order. The ordering process was great. I had zero issues in understanding what needed to be done. Once placed, I was informed by the team at Rel that they were working on the order and I would be notified when it shipped.
The only hiccup in this whole process came when the estimated shipping date began to get close and I had not received a notice that the order had been shipped.
I reached out to the company and asked if I could get an update (mind you that this was at 8:00PM EST). I almost immediately got a response apologizing for the delay and letting me know that the process was just a little bit behind due to the holiday season. I was told that it wouldn't be too much longer and that I should get a shipping conformation soon.
They weren't wrong. Just a few days later, the lenses had shipped and were on their way to my house. I waited patiently since I was very relieved after such a timely response from Rel, and before long I received my package.
I opened the box and was amazed! The quality of the product was awesome. The lenses were in their own custom black hard case for storage, the inserts fit perfectly in my headset and if I didn't tell anyone they were there, they probably wouldn't notice until they put the headset on and their vision was blurry lol.
Needless to say, I was impressed. The only thing left to do was put the headset on and give it a shot. I took my glasses off, put on the device and... absolute perfection! I was so very pleased with my purchase and normally, that is where this story would end but I discovered in my box was a card saying thank you but on the back of the card was a handwritten thank you note from the owner of the company. I knew it was hand written because the ink smeared when I rubbed it. That little touch right there is why I felt so compelled to let the company know how much I appreciated their service.
I wrote a follow up email saying just as much and they were very pleased saying that they are a small team and do all they can to make sure their customers are happy. That is why I have written such a long review. Even if no customers want to read it, I know that someone at the company will and I want them to know that it really is nice to find a brand that is willing to go the extra step. In this day and time of online shopping, that is a real treat and I do very much appreciate it.
Thank you RELOPTIX. You guys really did knock it out of the park!

Awesome!
I chose Reloptix due to my prism and they were competitive on pricing. I was kept up to date on delays and when queried they were transparent on where the order was in the process. It came well packaged. After fitting, the lenses work great. Thank you!
