    The catch here is that you'll need to have your very own pair of Snapchat Spectacles to start with. That's because you're only ordering the lenses themselves. Simply enter in your prescription and then you can choose from a variety of lenses such as reflective lenses, tinted sunglasses, transition lenses, computer "digital block" lenses" and more. Once you receive the lenses through the mail, you'll be able to "snap" those lenses in place yourself by following a how-to tutorial. There's no need to send the Specs to a specialty retailer.

    This is a standard on-line optical price for the do it yourself internet user, no optician needed.

    Even the video how to do it is supplied.

    Caught me just skimming the article and just seeing the prices. Guilty.

    Snapchat Spectacles will ultimately live or die by the way users play with them, and given that it is easy to understand why Snapchat is being so unorthodox in its rollout. The company has only said a limited number of the devices will be produced, and the oddball distribution strategy seems designed to keep them as a somewhat niche project. But even after a few hours with Spectacles, it’s easy to see their potential.

    I enquired about being a supplier for Rx lenses for them.

    They didn't return my email.

    So it's a trendy GoPro that only records 10 seconds at a time... My generation is so dumb.

    Maybe not the glasses, but the creator of Snapchat was just on the cover of Time because of how big the app is. It's bad enough how badly people are glued to their phones. I prefer the world to keep their eyewear and cellphone time-killers separate.
