Prescription support: every published route

Each route has its own verification date below. A recent check of one source does not re-verify the other routes or prices.

A route is one way of getting corrected vision in these glasses. Each row is one source; the checker uses the strictest official route for your country first and shows the wider ones as "also possible via". Figures are the manufacturer's or named partner's published limits, not our estimate.

RayNeo factory prescription optics: notes

Prescription chosen at purchase only: lenses are bonded at the factory and cannot be swapped later.

RayNeo requires prescription selection before checkout; the corrective optics are fused with the display and cannot be replaced later. UK ordering guidance quotes around three weeks for prescription orders. Numerical SPH/CYL, prism and progressive limits were not verified in the accessible ordering documentation. Confirm with RayNeo before paying.

This tool checks whether your prescription falls inside the range each manufacturer publishes. It is not optical advice and does not replace a dispensing optician. UK law requires that spectacles for anyone under 16, or anyone registered sight impaired or severely sight impaired, are dispensed by or under the supervision of a registered practitioner, and that prescriptions are less than two years old.

Before you order

Ask the provider to confirm your exact model and frame variant, prescription, lens type, fitting requirements, total price and warranty terms. A published power range is only part of that check.

Questions people ask about RayNeo iO

Can you put prescription lenses in RayNeo iO?

Yes, by one published route: RayNeo factory prescription optics: lenses glazed into the frame. Limits are listed above where verified; missing limits require provider confirmation.

What prescription range does RayNeo iO support?

The manufacturer does not publish a numeric range. The checker reports "Needs confirmation" for this model rather than guessing; ask the vendor with your exact prescription.

Does RayNeo iO work with astigmatism?

The cylinder limit is not verified. If your prescription includes astigmatism, the checker requires provider confirmation.

Does RayNeo iO support varifocal (progressive) lenses?

Not published. The checker flags varifocal support as unknown for this model.

Is RayNeo iO available in the UK?

On sale as of 2026-09-11. List price from £429. Standard package, prescription cost extra and unverified. Dune and Polar Night are orderable, but a live notice delays Polar Night shipping until gradually from 22 September. Charging-case bundle listed at £519. Confirm dispatch and the complete prescription price.

Can I add prescription lenses later?

No. The lenses are bonded at the factory, so the prescription must be chosen at purchase and cannot be swapped afterwards.
