42K is low but the product appeals to a very small segment of consumers: Snapchat users, who don't wear prescription eyeglasses, who happen to have a face shape complimented by the single size/style of Spectacles.

Was easy to get prescription lenses for mine. Lenses cutter in Rochester cuts all kinds of strange lenses types.

Hell yeah, I want some Rx Spectacles! Lost my Rx Ray-Bans in the lake this summer.

Also they were very hard to get if you weren't in the few places where they were sold.

It's selling on Amazon now.

It seems to me an error they don't offer a prescription version yet

Selling prescription eye wear in the United States seems to come with a lot of red tape. I don't think they want to get in the business of requesting and verifying an eye exam within the last 12 months before selling a one size fits all consumer item.

Do you really have to to just provide frames though? Couldn't they just sell empty frames and have optometrists install and request lenses. I think that's how most frames work now.

There's at least one online optician [1] that offers prescription lenses for Snap's spectacles.

I can't imagine the spectacles not being usable over normal eyeglasses either, just like other off-the-shelf sunglasses or 3D glasses.
