Rokid Glasses prescription lenses don’t replace the lenses that carry the display. Rokid sells a separate magnetic frame for them that snaps onto the inner side of the glasses. You fill it with corrective lenses, either through Rokid’s online lens service or from a local optician. Everything here comes from Rokid’s published documentation as checked on September 17, 2026. We haven’t fitted or worn a pair ourselves, so nothing below describes personal use.
How prescription lenses work on Rokid Glasses
Both lenses of Rokid Glasses carry a green Micro LED waveguide display that shows text and simple graphics. Because those lenses do the display work, Rokid does not grind your prescription into them. The correction sits in a second, thin frame behind them.
That part is the Rokid Glasses Prescription Frame. Rokid describes it as a titanium alloy frame with a clip-on magnetic design, made only for Rokid Glasses. It comes without lenses and is sold separately in Rokid’s store, where the price differs by region.
The display-free Rokid AI Glasses Style handles prescriptions differently, with the lenses fitted directly into its main frame. That means a lens guide you find online for the Style model doesn’t automatically apply to the display model.
Which prescriptions Rokid says it supports
Rokid’s documents all say the magnetic frame takes custom lenses for myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. The exact numbers differ from page to page, though.
| Rokid page | Stated prescription support |
|---|---|
| Rokid Glasses specification table | +15 to -15 |
| Help center comparison of Rokid Glasses and AI Glasses Style | Up to ±15.00D (1500 degrees), plus progressive multifocal lenses |
| Help center prescription question | +6.00D to -16.00D |
| Prescription Frame product page | 0 to 1600 degrees, myopia and astigmatism |
The “degrees” figure follows a convention common in Chinese optical retail, where 100 degrees equal 1.00 diopter. By that measure, 1600 degrees is 16.00D of correction. We quote the +15.00 to -15.00D range from the specification table because it’s the headline figure on Rokid’s product page.
Every page covers strong nearsightedness down to about -15.00D. The pages disagree on the plus side, for farsightedness (hyperopia), where one stops at +6.00D and another reaches +15.00D. Only one of the four documents mentions progressive lenses. Rokid hasn’t published a single answer on the plus-side limit or on progressive support.
A prescription for myopia or astigmatism between -15.00D and +6.00D falls inside every range Rokid publishes. If you’re outside that band, or you need progressives, email Rokid support with your prescription before you buy. Keep the written reply.
Option 1: Rokid’s online lens service
Rokid recommends its own online service as the best fit for the frame, but the lenses don’t come from Rokid itself. According to the lens service page, an official optical partner makes and ships them. That partner’s policies apply to verification, pricing, delivery, returns and customer service. Rokid also says it doesn’t do eye exams or prescription verification.
Before ordering, you need two things:
- a current eyeglass prescription from a qualified optometrist
- your pupillary distance, the gap between the centers of your pupils
A contact lens prescription won’t work, because Rokid says the two aren’t interchangeable. The partner may also ask for more details, depending on your prescription and lens type.
Rokid’s prescription FAQ, dated January 26, 2026, says custom lenses are non-returnable. It also says online prescription orders can’t be claimed on vision insurance. The same FAQ estimates delivery at 15 to 18 business days, with lenses shipped from China. Rokid’s help center adds that lens production time isn’t included in its normal shipping estimates.
Option 2: a local optician
Rokid also allows a local route. You buy the magnetic frame, then take it to an optical store to have lenses made.
The lenses need to be close to flat. Rokid asks that the lens curvature stay below 0.5D, which it gives as a radius of 1000 mm. More curved lenses may not fit the frame and could cause installation problems, Rokid warns. Tell the optician about this limit before any lenses are cut.
This route may suit you if you prefer an in-person fitting, although Rokid still recommends its own service for the best fit. If locally made lenses don’t sit correctly, sorting that out would depend on your agreement with the optician. That’s our reading of the situation, not a Rokid policy statement.
Vision benefits and US partner stores
Online orders through Rokid’s lens partner aren’t eligible for reimbursement, the FAQ says. The lens service page describes another route: participating optical retailers can help you try on the glasses and explore lens options. Prescription lenses bought that way may qualify under a vision benefits plan.
Rokid’s specification table lists in-network customization for the US only, saying it “may be available depending on provider and plan.” Rokid doesn’t name the providers on those pages, so check coverage with both the retailer and your benefits provider before you pay.
Fitting the insert and daily wear
Rokid’s help center gives short installation steps. First, line up the two slots on the inner side of the frame. Then press gently on the outer slot until the lenses snap into place, taking care not to scratch them. There’s also a video tutorial on Rokid’s prescription FAQ page.
The glasses weigh 49 g, and the box includes interchangeable nose pads in several sizes. Rokid doesn’t publish the combined weight with the prescription frame fitted. For sunny days, Rokid sells separate clip-on sunglasses for the display model.
Checklist before you order
- Get a current eyeglass prescription, not a contact lens one.
- Measure or ask for your pupillary distance.
- Compare your numbers with the -15.00D to +6.00D band that all Rokid pages cover.
- Ask Rokid support in writing if you’re outside that band or need progressives.
- Budget for the frame itself on top of the glasses and the lenses.
- Accept that custom lenses from the online service can’t be returned.
- If you use a local optician, pass on the 0.5D (R1000mm) curvature limit.
- In the US, check partner retailer coverage before assuming insurance applies.
Rokid Glasses prescription lenses are well supported for most nearsighted and astigmatic wearers. If you’re farsighted or wear progressives, the conflicting ranges mean you should get confirmation first. A written answer from Rokid is free, and it can save you from paying for custom lenses you can’t return.
