Apple has recently unveiled two affordable lens options for its upcoming Apple Vision Pro: a Reader alternative and specialized Zeiss prescription lenses. This announcement surprisingly reveals prices far lower than anticipated, with the vision-enhancing add-ons set at either $99 or $149.
Initially, speculation based on Zeiss’s collaborations with other brands suggested the prescription lenses for Apple Vision Pro might range between $300 and $600. However, coinciding with the announcement of Vision Pro’s release date, Apple has introduced these vision correction solutions at significantly reduced costs.
“For those with vision correction needs,” Apple states, “ZEISS Optical Inserts are available with a prescription or as readers that magnetically attach to Vision Pro, allowing users to take full advantage of the display’s incredible sharpness and clarity.”
The Reader version functions akin to standard reading glasses and does not require a prescription. It remains unclear whether customers must specify their prescription lens needs when ordering the Vision Pro or if these can be purchased subsequently.
While Zeiss has confirmed its involvement in producing the optical inserts, detailed information remains sparse, aside from a visual representation of an eye-shaped lens designed to integrate seamlessly with the Vision Pro.
