**UPDATE** Reloptix also offers services for prescriptions not covered under the $79.99 wide range. For lenses that are beyond this coverage you will see additional services under Special Order and Experimental. Typically they would not be able to fit your needs in house with out the help of outside labs.
Your previous video really helped me decide and compare between the different lens makers and I went with Reloptix. My lenses arrive Monday. Looking forward to trying them out.
How were your Reloptix lenses? I'm curious since I ordered from Zenni and got a few days ago. But they were super dirty with some weird blotches, that I can't clean out. Wondering if you got clean lenses, and whether you had any bad surprises?
@@OneRedKraken I just received them recently but have been out of town and haven't had the chance to test yet. I'm planning on testing them after work today. I'll let you know but they look great
@@jonin0001 Awesome! I would really appreicate your honest feedback when you have the chance. I have a feeling my customer experience with Zenni is going to suck. (asking me pictures of tiny 1 to 2 mm stains... lol)
@@OneRedKraken Update, lenses were easy to install and work really well. They looked great right out of the box and really improve my experience with the Quest 3. 80$ well spent IMO
Based on your review(s), I used your link and just purchased the Reloptix Meta Quest 3 VR Prescription Lens Insert Kit. (Canadian Pricing: $112.00 Kit + $1 Lens + $33.00 Shipping - Discount -$5.65 = $140.35 CA). All thanks to your professional review.
Just realized how clearer my Quest 3 games looked after using my glasses for the first time. I hated even thinking of wearing glasses with my VR and using it without my glasses seem to work (I nearsighted, can’t see far) with no problem but I tried it last night using my glasses and I can “see” it’s a lot more clearer then without them. With that being said, I had to get these lenses for my Quest 3. Used your code and it save me on the shipping fee. Thanks!
Just received lenses for my wife's Q3. It took about ten days to receive. They work perfectly, they got her prescription spot on. She was even laying in bed watching Netflix On vr as it's better than glasses and big screen tv.
I got the Reloptix back when I had the Quest 2 after seeing your comparison video. I loved them (even though they shipped mine with a soft case). I was thinking of getting Maecker lenses for the color options and price, but don't like the bulk. After watching this video (especially the zenni comparison), I plan to buy Reloptix again. I'll look for whatever paint folks use on 3D printed figurines, so I can make each lens frame a different color.
I’m going to get these. I recently purchased a Quest 3. I love it and it’s so fun. However the first issue arose when I tried to first put it on. You see the only other VR I’ve used is my brothers PS5 VR and it has a wide faceplate and can fit easily even with my glasses. The Quest 3 while thinner and lighter does have a smaller faceplate that didn’t fit my glasses (I tend to wear bigger glasses). Luckily I had my contacts. Another issue is that my eyes get really dry when using contacts so I couldn’t wear the VR for more then 30mins before I had to use eye drops and it’s only been an issue with VR and I can’t understand why. Usually I reapply eye drops every 1hr with contacts but in VR I feel I need it more frequently. I hope these lenses give me the best result! I’m getting my regular eye exam soon so I’ll be ordering them when I get my updated prescription!
I ended up trying out the Zenni lenses. Mostly since they are a recognized 'vendor' by Meta. They got my prescription spot on. But I was really surprised at how dirty the lenses were when I got them. One of them even had what looked like a spec of sauce from a lunch or something. Managed to get rid of all the smudge and that sauce looking thing. But even after a good cleaning. I think there might have been an issue when they applied the anti-reflective coating Beause there's what look like tiny blotches along the outer edge of the lense. I don't want to wipe it like it's my old pair of glasses I don't care about. But even after being rougher than I would have like. The blotches remain. Contacted their customer service to see if they can do anything about that. I don't care that they were dirty, albeit annoyed, but these blotches cause some pretty distracting reflections when you watch a movie with bright moving scenes. in VR not as much.
Thank you for sharing your experience on here. I think it helps other people decide which lenses to get as well. I'd be curious to hear what they do with your lenses, or if they will replace them with a new pair or not.
sir there are more than one person using VR headset with different power... and we all have high number in our glasses.... so I was thinking of getting non prescription lens... now the question is will it decrease the image quality because of protective lens and than the glasses I am wearing....
Your previous video is what made me decide to go with them so now that it's Christmas Day and I've gotten my money as my present I just bought my first set and should get them sometime between now and my birthday (January 28th though it said expected January 23rd). Excited to hopefully have a better experience with VR thanks to these lenses.
@@SavageTaco-v4r not half price ive looked. base price is $50. zenni is $50. 2 of the others start @ $70 . if you got a thicker prescript it WILL be more. I paid $65 for my q3 ones @ another store. so zenni is more.
Do most or all companies adjust the distance prescription down to the ideal 4 foot focal range? From the way you describe real optix, I'm guessing they take this calculation into consideration when making the lens, but wondering about others? Thanks
@@DrEyeGuyI’m talking to reloptix now about this. Honsvr just sent my distance prescription and it’s not clear. Maybe because I am 60. Younger people are probably fine with that lol. But I need it adjusted to make image sharper especially for cockpit displays in MSFS. So hoping reloptix can confirm they can adjust give my “add” prescription
Thank you for your uploads. They convinced me to order from Reloptix however, I wanted to mention there are extra charges for certain RX's(as of this posting). Depending on your RX ,it may be considered a non-standard order. Specifically a $25 or $50 non-refundable fee for what they consider "Special" or "Experimental" respectively. Understandably, said orders seem to be for quite significant corrections.
Doctor, I had a little dry eyes, but after I bought a VR my eyes are constantly dry and burning, even taking breaks and all the recommended care. My myopia has increased a lot since I started using VR, but I don't wanna stop using it, Is there anything that can be done? Or will I have to sell my VR? (I'm already using artificial tears)
Maybe try VR lenses with blue light filters? Or use the 'night mode' of your headset. I know some people just have a hard time with screens period. VR is basically two screens shoved in each of your eyeballs. Can't be easy if you're one of those people.
Hi Doc, please do a video on using VR headset after cataract surgery. I am keen on getting the Quest 3, but worry about the possible side effects on my "new eyes".
There really isn't any research or studies that have been done. I don't see any extra problems that you would have though... same issues others need to be aware of.
I prefer the quest 3. The IPD and lenses is more forgiving, which translates to less eye strain for me. But... I have had a lot of people that report they get more eye strain with the quest 3... so it really depends on the person.
I bought the VR ROCK lenses because they offer worldwide free shipping and a 10% discount code. I got my package just 5 days after ordering, and the quality is really impressive, especially considering the great price.
says world wide shipping on Reloptix site. I ordered from VR rock to and I still don't have them even tho I was told 5 days to. tracking stopped. I may be ordering from another source for my vive.
I use glasses only for small print example I am only +0.25 sph right and -0.25 sph left...Should I get lenses for the VR or do you think they will not help much
My reloptix lenses only required my distance vision prescription, not my close up bifocal prescription. If you can see far, like to drive without glasses, you're probably good to go.
you wont be able to see the other stuff with inserts that are for reading and they don't do bifocals in inserts. if you are trying to go for a quest 3 you may get headaches trying to use glasses depending on how big the frames are. you shouldn't need need them but......depends on the HMD
I haven't tried the pico 4, so I wouldn't be able to say anything about the reloptix lenses. But... Reloptix lenses have been awesome every time I have tried them.
that why they use all high index of refraction and aspheric lens, to have the high price on all customer. that why there is no comparaison of price depending on the Prescription.
I added the magnetic ones 79$. Came with anti glare and scratch resistant coating free and then I added the lenses covers 5$ and blue light was a charge 9$ total 92$ all in and I’m happy asf they emailed me back that it will take about 10 days because of my prescription I know I had gotten a quote from my eye doctor to make my lenses 480$ for my prescription which is insane and this company is willing to make it 92$ I will recommend and share the shit out of these vr lens companies
I'd be interested in your thoughts on Elon Musk announcing on twitter he's already gotten his brain implant, titled 'blindsight' to give sight to blind apes.
@@jonin0001 After shipping cost etc. Zenni lenses are 93 Australian dollars while Reloptix wanted to charge 185 as the cheapest possible option. Whatever minor differences the lenses might have that price gap is ridiculous. 1/10 brown nose harder fanboy.

My Reloptics prism prescription cost $125 with 5 to 8 weeks delivery. There was no question that they were going to be the same price as advertised.
Can someone tell me what it means when it says tax included when i saw the vr rock lenses on the vr rock official website
It means the price listed includes the tax. So when you go to checkout and extra 10 dollar tax won't be there because it's already included

Lazey eye surgery or eyeglass what best
It depends on the person, the cause, and the amount.
Till you start aging, eyes change, etc. I know a few who loved the latex at 30, not so much in their 40s
Reloptix may be a US based but I bet they outsource the manufacturing like the rest do. there site don't even say there location.
I got mine order home vr lenses
I ordered a set, I like that i upload my RX vs the competition
This REALLY feels like an ad more than a review.
and.. it wasn't sponsored, and I don't work for reloptix or anything. They didn't' know I was going to make this video.
