> Samsung's $395 Intelligent Eyewear costs $495 with prescription lenses at Warby Parker and $549 at Gentle Monster, with add-ons for filters and thinner lenses.

Samsung's [Intelligent Eyewear](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/samsung-galaxy-glasses/roadmap) starts at $395, but that price buys plain lenses. A prescription pair costs $495 at Warby Parker and $549 at Gentle Monster, according to a price breakdown SammyGuru published after ordering a pair. Samsung's own site doesn't take prescription pre-orders yet, so those two retailers are where you order one.

At Warby Parker, the Alden, the Reid and the Wren all start at $395. Single-vision prescription lenses take that to $495, and prescription sun lenses to $595. A blue light filter adds $50, and thinner 1.67 high-index lenses add $60. The standard lenses are polycarbonate. Warby Parker doesn't offer 1.74 ultra high-index lenses on these frames, to protect the sensors in the temples and the sound from the speakers. Its Warby Parker Care plan costs $100 for a year, and the card isn't charged until the order goes into production.

Gentle Monster's six styles run from $449 to $489 depending on the frame. Prescription lenses add $100 and up for clear or blue filter lenses, and $140 and up for light-adaptive ones, so a prescription pair starts at $549 and reaches $589 on the priciest frames. One style, the GGS003, can't take prescription lenses at all. Prescription pairs from Gentle Monster can't be returned, though the company will remake the lenses once if your prescription changes within 60 days of delivery.

For comparison, a [Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3)](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/meta-ray-ban/roadmap) starts at $449, and clear single-vision lenses add $225, which puts a prescription pair at $674. That is $179 more than the cheapest prescription pair of Samsung's glasses.

FSA and HSA money works at Warby Parker, and it takes vision insurance. It says many vision plans cover prescription Intelligent Eyewear, but prescription blue light lenses are covered only under some plans, and pairs without a prescription usually aren't covered. Gentle Monster treats vision insurance as an out-of-network benefit, so you pay first and file for the money back once the order ships.

Prescription pairs take longer to arrive. General availability starts December 10, but Warby Parker says prescription orders take up to 21 days once production starts, and it gives 30 days to return or exchange them. Gentle Monster says its prescription lenses take about 8 to 20 days after your prescription is verified, and its first pre-order batch ships from December 9.

If you wear glasses every day, budget about $500 to $600 for a pair you can see through, more with a filter or thinner lenses. Warby Parker is the cheaper route and the only one of the two that takes returns on a prescription pair.
