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 keeps a provider's limits and source separate; the checker considers passing official routes for your country first. Figures come from the cited manufacturer or lens provider, including independent providers. A provider publishing its service does not establish manufacturer endorsement. About source labels.

RayNeo factory prescription optics: notes
Prescription chosen at purchase only: lenses are bonded at the factory and cannot be swapped later.
RayNeo's consumer pages do not state which lens types are offered for iO. Prescription optics are fitted during manufacture: they must be chosen before checkout and cannot be replaced later, and a prescription change needs a new pair (RayNeo UK ordering guide, read on 7 October 2026). Numerical SPH/CYL, power-rule and prism details are not published; confirm the current options for your market with RayNeo before paying. RayNeo's UK product page says 'Production takes approximately 4 weeks' (read 8 October 2026). Its prescription order form, opened from 'Buy with Prescription', was reported on 8 October 2026 to offer sphere choices from -12.00 to 0.00 and cylinder from -2.00 to 0.00 with no reading-addition field; RayNeo does not publish these as limits, so the checker still asks for confirmation.

This tool compares your prescription with published manufacturer or lens-provider ranges. It is not optical advice and does not replace a dispensing optician. Use a current prescription and ask your dispensing practitioner to confirm the applicable prescription-age and supervision requirements. In the UK, prescription spectacles for anyone under 16, or registered sight impaired or severely sight impaired, must be supplied by or under the supervision of a registered practitioner.
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.
