Halo with prescription lenses
Supported range: +2 to -6 diopters adjustable optics.[1]
Halo, the open-source AI glasses from Brilliant Labs, approaches prescription in two ways. The display optics adjust from +2 to -6 diopters, which handles moderate near- or farsightedness for the display image. For full-time wear, Brilliant Labs points to its partner SmartBuyGlasses for prescription and sun lenses. That split matters: adjustable optics fix how you see the display, while the partner lenses fix how you see everything else. Brilliant Labs doesn't publish a range for the SmartBuyGlasses lenses. Halo suits tinkerers and developers more than people shopping for a polished everyday pair, and its product page still shows an 'early August' ship date with no year. Prescription lenses are a second order. Brilliant Labs says it shares a link to its partner's site after you buy Halo, so the lens wait starts only once the glasses are paid for.
How to order
- Check whether your sphere falls within the +2 to -6 diopter adjustment for the display.
- For a full prescription, order lenses through SmartBuyGlasses, Brilliant Labs' named partner.
- Confirm with SmartBuyGlasses that your cylinder and pupil distance can be made for Halo.
Watch out for
- Adjustable optics don't replace a full prescription lens for everyday vision.
- The partner lens range is not published by Brilliant Labs.
- Ship timing on the product page is unclear, so prescription lead times stack on top of an uncertain date.
- Brilliant Labs designed Halo for an IPD of 58-72mm. Check your pupil distance against that before counting on the adjustable optics.
Questions people ask
Does Halo correct astigmatism?
Brilliant Labs describes the built-in optics as adjustable from +2 to -6 diopters and doesn't mention astigmatism. Ask SmartBuyGlasses about prescription lenses if you have a cylinder value.
Who makes prescription lenses for Halo?
Brilliant Labs names SmartBuyGlasses as its partner for prescription and sun lenses.
Do I need my pupil distance for Halo?
Yes. Halo is designed for an IPD range of 58-72mm, and a partner lens order also needs it. Ask your optician to write it on your prescription.
