    Earlier this year, Magic Leap said that prescription inserts would soon be available for the Magic Leap One, and now you can get them through Frames Direct. The inserts cost $249 and Magic Leap says they're anti-reflective, compatible with the system's eye-tracking features and easy to install. You'll need a copy of your prescription from your eye doctor as well as your pupil distance measurement and you'll need to know which Magic Leap One size you have, but once you place your order, you should have your inserts in just a few days.

    Prescription lenses for Snapchat Spectacles start at $99 (update)

    Snapchat's video-recording Spectacles are super cool, but for folks who need prescription glasses they're just another tech accessory that they can't wear comfortably. Until now. The fine people who made prescription lenses for Google Glass at Rochester Optical will do the same for the ghostly wearable. Pricing starts at $99 for normal lenses, but pricing goes up for fancy options. High-index lenses are physically stronger and help slim down any Coke-bottle prescriptions, but they'll run you $149. Polarized and photochromic options cost $200. That's in addition to the $130 for Spectacles themselves, mind you.
