What will be the cost of Apple Vision Pro prescription lenses?
Gurman speculates that the starting price for prescription lenses for the Vision Pro could be around $300.
Before the official announcement of Apple Vision Pro, there was a circulating rumor suggesting that individuals who wear glasses might need to pay additional costs for prescription lenses. However, the specific pricing details were not disclosed at that time.
What will be the cost of Apple Vision Pro prescription lenses?
Now, it has been revealed that the Apple Vision Pro headset itself is priced at $3,499, which is already quite high. But for those who need prescription lenses, they may have to shell out as much as $600 for each pair, which could be considered steep even for individuals with a remote interest in purchasing the device.
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.

Apple has confirmed its collaboration with Zeiss to manufacture vision-correction lenses for the Vision Pro, targeting users who wear glasses. This partnership was initially reported in 2017, indicating the extensive development period for the new device.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has made predictions about the pricing based solely on this information and the historical cost of Zeiss lenses, which used to be around $200. As a result, he anticipates a price range of at least $300 to $600 for the prescription lenses of the Apple Vision Pro.
Meanwhile, Zeiss is already manufacturing prescription lenses for other virtual reality (VR) headsets, and their current pricing for such lenses is approximately $70.
