The only
drawback, so far, with the amazing technology of Google Glass was that its use was
severely limited for those with vision problems as they did not fit over
regular glasses. That meant that you’d
either have to wear contacts or go blind. Well here’s some good news: there are
third party manufacturers that have made prescription
frames for Google Glass.
Google has announced the Titanium Collection for Google Glass,
with four new extra-light titanium frames as well as two new styles of twist-on
shades. The best part is that all the frames support prescription lenses.
The Glass
guides say the thin frames are more suited for men, while women may favor the
Bold or Curved look. Split frames "look good on everybody," one rep
said.
To get your
prescription lenses fitted into the frame, Google prefers you to go to one of
its trained eye care professionals, who are specifically trained to properly
fit lenses to Google Glass. It’s great to see Google creating official support
for prescription lenses for those who need it.
If you're not
entirely satisfied with the choice, worry not: Google claims more styles will
be coming.
