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

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.
Very good lenses and some nice personal touches in the box great service

Superb
After looking at details of the available lenses for PSVR2, I went for the the Reloptix, as I liked the idea of magnetic fitment to make it more convenient to change users.
From start to finish and delivery to UK, the whole process was seamless and any questions answered quickly. The packaging days premium, with a nice hard plastic case for protection. They fit inside the unit very easily and the prescription is spot on, and vision is crystal clear.
I am a very happy customer!

All I can say is thank you, these lenses have been a game changer for me. It feels so much better without having glasses on under the hood and the vision is great. Will not go back to wearing glasses at all. Once again thanks a bunch…

A must for comfortable VR gaming for glasses wearers
These are great investment and a must for any glasses wearer wanting to comfortably use VR. These provide for three benefits when used over wearing your glasses inside a headset. 1 they protect your glasses, which may be just as expensive as your VR headset, by reducing strain on the arms fitting under the headset straps and cowl, as well as protecting the lenses from micro scratches from impacting the lenses of the vr headset. 2 They protect your VR headset from the impact of your glasses against the lenses on the headset causing micro scratches. 3 they reduce the pressure on your face from trying to fit your glasses inside a vr headset not made to have glasses stuffed inside them. My lenses came in great, and matching my prescription, which isn't easy as I am Very nearsighted, so my glasses are Thick. They fit well in my PSVR2 and the clarity is excellent.

Amazing Quality!
These guys nailed my prescription right on the head! Crystal clear vision with these lenses! They also help cut down the awful glare/bloom effect Zuc includes free with his quest 3. Get the non prescription lenses with these and you can just swap the magnetic lenses out in seconds and the headset can be used by everyone. I also like that they include a really nice hard case and microfiber cleaning cloths!

WOW!!
I did not know what to expect when I first ordered this. I ordered purely on YouTube review and it sure did not disappoint me.
It feels so comfortable without my thick glasses on and the vision is even clearer than with my glasses. This truly is night and day difference.

Brilliant!
The lenses are great and make the headset much easier to use. Delivery was reasonably quick too. Very happy with purchase.
I first went from a Quest 2 to a Quest 3 since the Quest 3 had more space to allow the glasses on the face. From my time playing Totally Baseball where I would actively move my face around, I would still feel the glasses pressed up against my face. Having these lenses in place has increased my comfort in playing on the Quest 3 and my active time with it. I forget when playing I'm not wearing my glasses since the prescriptions were properly matched up and my view seems normal. I am very happy with getting these.

Quality lenses - excellent magnetic connection
I had other lenses for my original Quest that were a royal pain to install. Just figuring out which way they fit and trying to get them to click on place was frustrating. Not with these. Installing is easy and they work great.

Absolutely the best inserts
I got these inserts back in April but waited until now to write a review. I am so thankful for these great inserts. They came in their own beautiful box for protection. It reminds me of a otterbox case. The process was flawless and I got them pretty quickly. My vision is bad and I was worried to see how it was going to work out. Well I see perfect and no longer sweat in my glasses.
