In 2018, longtime online friends Will, an industrial designer and Jason, an optician hadn't met in person untill a mutual friend's wedding. Both were VR users and both had the same problem: Wearing glasses in VR was terrible.
The scratched lenses, the frame pressure and headaches. There had to be a better solution than what was currently available. Jason had some ideas from his many years in the optical industry but hadn't fleshed them out yet.
He presented his ideas to Will, and they reached an agreement to work together on a solution. They aimed for a blend of traditional eyewear aesthetics with ergonomic features prioritizing user comfort.
Why not provide the absolute best, even if it means sacrificing a little profit

We pride ourselves on our customer service and ability to cater to individual customers needs. whether that be special high prescription lenses or a custom insert for a user with disabilities, we try our best to accommodate.
Where other companies have turned away customers, Reloptix has been able to help thousands experience VR like everyone else.
Reloptix sources their lenses from the same companies that white label lenses for a lot of the big names in the optical industry, cutting out the middle-man. This ensures high quality at a lower price and allows us to offer a larger array of lens powers and coatings for a flat rate.
We wanted to make a solution that people bought not just because they needed it to see but, overall elevates their experience.

Timeline
2019
Initial Design and Development
R&D started in the later part of 2019 on the Quest 1 and Rift S. Many different designs with quick detach features we're posed but none match the ease of removal and versatility of magnetic attachment.
Easy removal also meant ease of retrieval which seemed to be a issue with several of the units on the market. This is where the tab we include on most of our inserts comes in, giving the user a soft, tactile portion to grab and not come in contact with the lenses.
2020
Company Founding and Kickstarter
Like most companies, the beginning of 2020 brought development to a temporary standstill. The middle of 2020 saw a major ramp up and after many prototypes we're tested, an eventual final production model was agreed upon.
Jason and Will proceeded to focus on establishing production and commencing a Kickstarter endeavor for funding. The outcome of this campaign was not as anticipated, yet they pressed on by personally financing Reloptix and upholding the support of a large portion of their contributors.
2021
Early Success
Design and production was entirely in-house, utilizing Jason's basement as a lens lab and Will's home office as a design studio. Leveraging their established presence in the online VR community, word-of-mouth sales began to occur.
VR groups and influencers started to recognize Reloptix, building a name for quality and customer service within the VR community.
2022
Company Expands
With exceptional products and diligent customer service. Expansion was certain. Reloptix advances to a fulfillment center to manage rising demand.
Upon addressing the challenges and enhancing the fresh supply chain, sales commence to escalate, setting new company benchmarks.
2023 - 2024
Plans for expansion
With a global vision, Reloptix is working on offering improved shipping rates, with the UK in mind.
Additional areas are being considered to aid in fulfillment efforts in Europe.
Treated myself a Meta Quest 3 as an early birthday gift, and wearing glasses just wasn't comfortable despite trying a few times. The Reloptix in reviews stood out from the rest with a protective case and safely packaged inside, thin lenses and magnetic too. I couldn't of been happier with the Reloptix team and their product. Easy to install and it feels clearer than wearing my glasses - with the added comfort too! Thank you so much, it's really enhanced the VR experience to the next level and helping me get a bit more active with the fitness apps.

Great Product
Bought a new Meta Quest 3 VR and knew it was time to order prescription lenses. Wearing my glasses with the VR was really uncomfortable and I still experienced blurry images in the games. After a bit of research I decided upon ordering corrective lenses for the VR from Reloptix. Ordering was painless, and the product was shipped quickly. I am extremely pleased with these lenses! My enjoyment of the games is increased because the headset is more comfortable and everything is so much clearer! I highly recommend Reloptix and these corrective prescription lenses for all VR players that wear glasses! You won't be disappointed!

What had been missing
I had been playing my quest 3 without lens insert. But after friends highly recommended Reloptix, I bought a pair.
The experience of setting it up was really great and straight forward. I love the magnet that enable me to take off the lens when someone else is using the headset.
I can tell that the build quality is very high and I was satisfied with the interaction with Reloptix member during the purchase,

Extra Reloptix Meta Quest 3S / Quest 2 Prescription Lens Inserts
I have used Reloptix lenses since I bought my first Quest 2 years ago. The prescription lenses were so easy to install and made playing on the Quest so much more comfortable than wearing glasses. The lenses came in an extraordinary box that protected the lenses and included a cleaning cloth and a personalized thank you note! They are still amazing and functioning over all these years. I decided when I got my Quest 3 that Reloptix was the only choice for lenses—once again, the lens were so easy to install; I had others who wanted to use my Quest 3 and Reloptix sent non-prescription lenses to protect the Quest 3 and were just as easy to install. The company uses an easy to fill out prescription form and provides a Discord to answer all questions and give updates on delivery. I even found several You Tube personalities who recommended Reloptix among all the rest. With fantastic lenses, easy installation, and excellent customer service, I know there is only one one company to provide my lenses—Reloptix!
The is the second time I used reloptix and three still one of the best out there for quality and service.
I live in uk and they processed my order from usa to uk in 2 weeks you can't get better that would recommend to anyone.

Meta Quest 3 prescription lenses
I normally don't reply to product reviews but in this case I feel compelled to do so. The lenses are great, love the strap which makes it easier to remove the lenses since I often share my Meta Quest 3 with others in my family who don't wear glasses. The responses I've gotten from email correspondence was rapid and very friendly and personal which I appreciate. The packing and delivery of the lenses was great and I love the included case. I will strongly recommend reloptix optics to anyone I know who is in the market for VR presentation lenses. Keep up the great work !!
Sincerely,

The best thing I could buy for my quest 3
Before using the lens I thought the image was good. But now I see a new world. It makes a massive difference.

A must have!
After scratching two pairs of glasses while using my Quest 2, I was lucky that a web search led me to Reloptix! Putting on the headset for the first time with my new lenses felt like I was putting on my glasses for the very first time; it makes SUCH a difference! The excellent packaging and constant support/communication show just how much these guys care about their customers. Will definitely buy again when the time comes!
I first bought lenses from here for the Quest 2 and loved them so much I had to get them when I upgraded to the Quest 3. I ordered these at the same time as the Quest 3 and these arrived first! Surprising, as it was only 2 weeks and I have a strong prescription (though not special order).
The installation is even easier and there's zero chance of putting the lenses on the bases the wrong way. There's no better for the price. Or even any price.
