![]() ![]() Both arms look the same however, the thickest part of the right arm is the touchpad for navigating the glasses’ apps. ![]() The arms read “VUZIX” in small font near the top. This is unfortunate, as if I’m paying $1,199.98 for a pair of prescription glasses, I’d rather not to have shell out any more for an eye test. They doesn’t give eye exams, so you’ll have to know your prescription beforehand. Vuzix also offers prescription inserts for an extra $200.98. ![]() When the AR display is on, there’s a visible bright light coming out of the right lens and onto your face, while a green LED power light also glows from the left arm onto your mug.īoth lenses have standard UVB protection and are photochromic, aka transition lenses, that darken when you enter a sunny area.

One of the Blade’s biggest challenges is its appearance. ![]()
