Despite having its fair share of skeptics,
Google Glass continues to accrue enhancements that could make it a mainstream hit when it officially debuts next year. The latest is from New York-based company
Rochester Optical, which promises to release a special prescription lens add-on for the device in early 2014 (above image is not of the unreleased product).
Rochester Optical announced on Wednesday that
Tim Moore, one of the early Glass Explorers, will join its prescription-lens project.
“We’ll be ready to start selling these to the public, at the latest, by January,” Moore toldMashable.
The Google Glass-ready prescription lenses will be priced in the same range as standard prescription lenses, according to Moore. Customers will be able to visit a website where they can choose a matching color for their existing device, and enter their prescription information. Lenses will be shipped within two business days.
