I was wearing contacts when I slid on the thick black Vuzix Blade glasses, after charging them up and pairing them to my iPhone. They made me look like a cyberpunk dad, or maybe an art gallery owner.

The Blade will work with prescription lenses, too, but I haven't been outfitted with lenses yet. These lenses will let the Blade work as a pair of functioning everyday prescription glasses, at an extra price (with prescription lenses, the total cost comes to around $1200). The Blade kinda sorta works over my own glasses, but it's not designed to work well that way. I had to reposition where the display floats in my eyes, and also, I ended up looking even more ridiculous.
