I mean; users pay for prescription lenses, and there already exists a logistical structure for creating prescription lenses for individuals; they just had to adapt it for the VR lenses (so the overall process is probably 90% the same)

Right, but when you try on glasses you don’t need lenses pre-made, you can get away with just blanks.

For the Vision Pro, the lenses are required to even try the headset, so there’s a chicken and egg problem: people aren’t going to want to pay for lenses just for a try-on.
