Google Glass Will Get Prescription Lenses

One of the most discussed topics surrounding Google's futuristic smart glasses is whether the specs could have a prescription lenses option in the future. In a note posted to Google+ on Tuesday, the company answered a resounding, "yes!"

Without getting into too much detail, Google said on its Project Glass page we can expect to see a prescription solution Google Glass "later this year."

"The Glass design is modular, so you will be able to add frames and lenses that match your prescription," the message said. "We understand how important this is and we’ve been working hard on it."

Google also posted a picture of Greg Priest-Dorman, a member of the Glass team, wearing a prototype with prescription lenses.

"We’re still perfecting the design for prescription frames," Google said. "Although the frames won’t be ready for the Explorer Edition’s release, hang in there -- you can expect to see them later this year."
