Home / News / Google Glass will come in prescription version

Worried that your dicky eyesight will hinder your ability to walk around town wearing Google Glass? You needn’t: Google has confirmed that a prescription version of the device will be available.

The design of Google Glass is modular, say its makers, and this means it can be fitted with prescription lenses. Don’t, however, expect to find them available to the early Explorer Edition of the smart spectacles – you’ll have to wait until later in the year.
