Samsung has officially entered the mixed-reality arena with the launch of the Galaxy XR. Designed to deliver deeply immersive experiences powered by advanced on-device AI, it marks a major leap in the company’s spatial computing vision. And for users who wear glasses, there’s good news — Samsung has partnered with Eyebuydirect to offer custom Kodak prescription lenses tailored specifically for the Galaxy XR. Here’s how you can get yours.

Samsung offers custom prescription lenses for the Galaxy XR

The Galaxy XR optical inserts are engineered to fit seamlessly inside the headset, ensuring comfort and optimal clarity. Made using Kodak Prescription Lens technology, they offer high optical precision and durable coatings that resist glare and scratches. The lenses simply click into place, so you don’t need extra tools or a complicated setup. Once installed, they provide crisp, distortion-free visuals so you can fully immerse yourself in Samsung’s new extended reality platform. Follow the steps below to order:

1. Visit Eyebuydirect’s Galaxy XR lens page here
2. Enter your prescription details manually, including the SPH (Sphere) and CYL (Cylinder) values for both eyes — Right (OD) and Left (OS).
3. Confirm your order and wait for your custom lenses to arrive.

Once your lenses arrive, just snap them into your Galaxy XR. The inserts are clearly marked for the left (L) and right (R) eyes, so ensure you put them in the correct positions. Align the circular engravings on the inserts with the matching markings inside your headset, then click them into place. After installation, a setup pop-up will appear in your headset. Scan the QR code included with your lenses to complete the configuration process and start exploring immersive worlds.

These prescription lenses for the Galaxy XR cost $99.99 and come with a protective case for safe storage. The available prescription range spans from +2.00D to -7.00D, with cylinder power up to 4.00D. Lenses outside this range, or those requiring prism correction, cannot be accommodated due to thickness limitations and headset fit restrictions. You can buy the lenses here.
