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

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.
it is nice not to were glasses while playing my oculus it is clear easy to fit in thank you

Quest 3.
This the second time I’ve ordered lens from the folks at Reloptix. Both are perfect. The new quest 3 lens give me a nice field of view with razor sharp edges on my simulator. I couldn’t ask for better both for installation and eye comfort. Btw, the blue filter is very noticeable as compared with my glasses. Why? Because my eyes have less fatigue yet I see no color difference. Thank You for your quality!
First tried these for my Quest 2 and was blown away at the fact that they let me see better in game than both my glasses and contacts! Bonus was how much more comfortable they made the headset.
When I decided to get the Q3, I actually waited to buy it until I could get the prescription inserts for it and WOW, these are even better!!
The Q3 inserts are slimmer and I love how they click in more solidly than the 2 (this could be due to overall design differences in the headset lens shape/size mind you) and not sure if it’s an upgrade of some kind or not from the Q2 lenses (or headset) but, so much less fogging!
Once again these lenses help me see better than using my glasses or contacts and make 2-3+ hour gaming sessions effortless (on the eyes anyway!)
If you wear glasses I highly recommend these lenses. As with the Q2, they come with an awesome case and accessories to care for them.
Well done people!!

I have terrible vision, severe nearsightedness, astigmatism and surgery to correct bi lateral cogens dystrophy. Have been in love with VR since I first tried it, but either my glasses kept me from properly wearing a headset, or not having my glasses on prevented me from using them for more than a few minutes, finally pulling the trigger on some inserts and I couldn't be happier, clocked about 5 hours of use the day they arrived and no eye strain. Thank you reloptix
Fits in the lens perfectly, good vision, a bit bulky but better than wearing glasses

Great fit, low profile, easy installation
These lenses fit my Q3 so much better than the ones I was using... I'm able to keep the headset closer to my face, increasing the FOV... Optical are spectacular... Magnets are very strong never had the lenses move... And as my prescription may change next month, after I see my eye doctor... I inquired about just buying new lenses, without another pair of magnetic bases, and I was told I could do that, and save a bit of money... It's nice they sell the lenses separate from the bases... many companies don't do that... Highly recommended...

Great results even for high stigmastic values
Even though wearing glasses using a Quest 3 is working, when having prescription lenses on you can get your lenses closer to the eye, increasing the FOV and have everything sharp even and without any chromatic abberations. I am having stigatism with high values, so when wearing contact lenses it distorts round objects into ovals. The prescription lenses from reloptix delivered a perfect results in terms of accuracy of shapes and sharpness for me. The lenses were easy to plug in and are easy to remove in case I want to share my headset. Delivering costs and customs were nearly as high as the product itself, but that's due to the fact that they had to travel around half of the planet, just to be aware of that. I guess for US customers they are a no-brainer. For everyone else willing to bite the bullet of around 60,- of additional costs you get a great product in a high value, robust case and pouches with a personal note, which was highly apprechiated

Next level VR immersion
Watched the YouTube reviews and was very pleasantly surprised by how much these lenses improved my VR experience. Crisp and clear and you hardly know you’re using them, they fit so easily, so snug. Essential purchase for VR glasses wearers.

Excellent quality. Perfect clarity. My prescription is strong and it was matched exactly. It’s made using vr so much more comfortable. Very VERY long order time though. Almost 3 months for me.
