Saving you a click – the article is just empty waffle around this Gurman tweet: “I would guess that the Zeiss prescription lenses for the Vision Pro will be at least $300-600 a pair, unless Apple is eating part of the cost given the already high price of the headset itself.”
One guy tweets
News: Rumor
I mean… It’s not just any one guy.
It’s Mark Gurman, he has insights to a lot of things Apple.I wouldn’t be surprised if he had insider sources for that.
If he had insider sources, he wouldn’t say “I would guess”

That tracks. I use prescription lenses for my Quest 2, and they were roughly $200-300.
You got gouged unless you have a really wild prescription, even then thats still a lot. You can get lenses for almost any headset for $80ish dollars from any of the main providers
I paid 85EUR for the ones in my PSVR2. I’ve never seen any on the market for over $200.
I mean, have you seen how much they sell watch bands for?
Hefty but if you can keep using them I think the investement kinda quickly pays off I’d assume. Hope it’s gonna be the same as with watch bands and those things stay compatible over a lot of generations. I think I’d buy them once but buying them again and again for each generation I may end up buying would suck…
Eyes change also, every few years I need to adjust my prescription.
The kind of people that are going to buy this at $3500 are probably not going to be all that worried about the additional lens cost.
Exactly this.
