Technical Utility

The Prescription
Bridge

A four-step framework for integrating prescription lenses into smart frames — without voiding your warranty.

01

Assess Your Frame

Not all AI glasses accept prescription lenses. We verify frame geometry, lens bay dimensions, and optical axis alignment for each model — so you know before you buy.

View Frame Compatibility
02

Choose Lens Partner

We maintain a curated list of certified optical labs that specialize in smart frame integration — preserving electronics, coatings, and structural integrity.

Browse Certified Labs
03

Warranty Protocol

The critical step most guides skip. We document the exact process to integrate prescription lenses without triggering manufacturer warranty voidance clauses.

04

Final Integration

Post-installation calibration matters. We provide firmware-level guidance to recalibrate optical sensors and AR overlays after lens replacement.

Get Calibration Guide

Prescription compatibility varies by model. Our database is updated with each firmware release. Last updated: April 2026.
