Prescription Google Glass Lenses?

Google Glass Prescriptions

Google is now adding prescription frames and new styles of detachable sunglasses to its computerised, internet-connected goggles known as Glass. 

Glass is basically a small computer with a camera and a display screen above the wearer's right eye.

The device sits at eyebrow level, higher than where eyeglasses would go.
It lets wearers surf the web, ask for directions and take photos or videos.
Akin to wearing a smartphone, Glass also lets people read their email, share photos on Twitter and Facebook, translate phrases while travelling or partake in video chats.
From today, the Californian company is offering four styles of prescription frames and two new types of shades available to its "explorers" - the people trying out Glass.

Researchers from consumer champion Which? bought and examined 36 pairs from 13 online retailers. 

Of these, 15 were not up to scratch and four were described as ‘woeful’, with problems including mismatched lenses and failure to meet the prescription supplied by the testers.

Certain glasses that are bought are believed to be 'dangerous' for drivers
