Find the frame that fits your day
Six curated entry points — from best-selling silhouettes to accessories that keep your frames charged and protected.
Engineering at a glance
The most capable all-in-one eyewear we have shipped
Vue has been refined across three hardware generations since our original Kickstarter launch. These are the numbers procurement teams and opticians ask for first.
25 g
Frame weight
Lighter than a slice of bread, so nose-pad pressure stays comfortable across a full shift.
7 days
Standby time
Low idle draw means most wearers charge two to three times per week, not daily.
IPX5
Water resistance
Verified against sweat, rain and splashes for commuting, running and cycling.
4 types
Lens options
Single vision, progressive, polarized sun and blue-light filtering, all prescription ready.
2-mic
Voice pickup
Noise-canceling array isolates speech for calls, meetings and assistant commands.
Interaction & sound
Controls you learn in a minute, audio you forget you're wearing
Everything sits inside the temple arms: capacitive touch panels, directional drivers and the microphone array. No dangling cables, no in-ear pressure.
Touch controls
Simple, intuitive gestures on either temple
Vue replaces buttons with a flush capacitive panel, so the frame keeps a classic optical silhouette while staying fully controllable with gloves-off fingertips.
- Double-tap — play or pause audio, answer or end a call
- Triple-tap (right) — skip to the next track
- Long hold — launch your phone's voice assistant
Open-ear audio
Music and audiobooks without blocking the room
Directional drivers aim sound down the ear canal instead of sealing it. Leakage is controlled at conversational volumes, so audio stays personal in an open-plan office or on a quiet train.
Because nothing is inserted into the ear, wearers with hearing-aid use, ear sensitivity or long shift schedules can listen for hours without fatigue.
Microphone
High-fidelity, noise-canceling voice capture
The beam-forming array tracks your mouth position and suppresses side-channel noise, which keeps your voice intelligible on windy sidewalks, in warehouses and inside moving vehicles.
Callers hear speech, not the environment — the single biggest complaint we solved between Vue Lite 2 and Vue Lite 3.
Calls & meetings
Take hands-free calls without reaching for headphones
Vue pairs over Bluetooth to phones, tablets and laptops, so phone calls, conference bridges and video meetings run straight through the frame you already have on your face.
Switching sources takes one tap, which matters for field teams moving between a handset and a laptop dozens of times a day.
Open-ear audio for real life
Listen without tuning life out
These are the six scenarios our wearers report most often. Each one shares the same requirement: audio that fits into the day instead of interrupting it.
01 
Stay entertained at work — without looking checked out
Built for retail, hospitality, front-desk, kitchen and warehouse roles where earbuds are not appropriate. Ears stay open for customers and safety calls.
02 
Join calls and meetings with one tap
Answer a phone call or drop into a video meeting hands-free while walking between tasks, without unpacking a headset.
03 
Move freely on runs and long rides
The 25 g frame and IPX5 rating handle sweat and motion, while open ears keep you aware of cars, cyclists and trail traffic.
04 
Deliver without disruption, car to doorstep
Food, grocery and parcel drivers keep navigation prompts and podcasts running continuously between stops — no pausing or re-pairing.
05 
Multitask at home while staying present
Audiobooks, podcasts and assistant commands while managing chores, errands and kids — you still hear every word in the room.
06 
Discover uses you didn't expect
Shop owners hear payment alerts without watching a screen. Students walk campus without bulky earbuds. Vue adapts to how you move.
Vue Lite 3 line-up
Three silhouettes, in clear and tinted lenses
Every Vue Lite 3 frame shares the same acoustic platform, so you choose purely on face shape and style. Each one can be built as eyeglasses or as sunglasses.
Aquila
A squared universal fit with a slightly wider bridge — the safest starting point for first-time smart eyewear buyers.
Carina
Softer rounded rims that suit angular faces and pair cleanly with progressive lens layouts.
Vela
Our flattest temple profile, offered with polarized sun lenses for driving, boating and open-road cycling.
Hardware & software
A frame and an app designed together
Firmware, gesture mapping and assistant routing are tuned in-house, which is why a Vue frame behaves the same on iOS and Android.
Vue Lite 3
More than just glasses
The latest generation was redesigned around three measured complaints from earlier wearers: temple thickness, mid-range clarity and call quality. Prescription lenses are included in the build, so the frame you receive is ready to wear on day one.
- Slimmer temple housing for a true optical profile
- Rebalanced drivers for speech and podcast clarity
- Magnetic charging that seats in one motion
Vue App
Your eyewear, connected
Remap gestures, trigger your phone camera, route smart-home commands, hear notification read-outs and adjust audio balance. Firmware updates arrive through the same app, so the frame improves after purchase.
Optics first
Lenses matched to how you actually see
Vue is eyewear before it is electronics. Every order is checked against the prescription and pupillary distance you provide before edging begins.
Lenses suited to your needs
Single vision, progressive, photochromic-friendly, blue-light filtering and polarized sun options — with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings available on each.
Built on a proven platform
Vue began as one of the most-backed eyewear projects in crowdfunding history. Three generations later, the same team still owns the acoustics, firmware and optical tolerances.
Payment & reimbursement
We accept vision insurance, FSA and HSA
Because Vue is dispensed as prescription eyewear, most plans treat it like any other pair of glasses. We provide itemized, plan-ready receipts that list frame and lens components separately for out-of-network submission.

Published return window with written conditions for prescription builds.
Buyer questions
What buyers and opticians ask us most
Answers written by the Vue product and optical support team, based on the questions we receive from retail partners and individual wearers.
Yes. Every Vue frame accepts single vision, progressive, blue-light filtering and polarized prescription lenses. You supply your current prescription and pupillary distance during lens selection, and lenses are edged to the exact curvature of the Vue frame so the acoustic modules stay aligned with the ear.
Vue uses directional micro-speakers inside the temple arms that beam sound toward the ear canal without sealing it or vibrating against the skull. Ambient awareness is preserved for traffic, colleagues and announcements, and there is no in-ear pressure during long wear — a common reason wearers switch away from earbuds.
Vue delivers continuous playback for a typical work block and up to seven days of standby, with magnetic case charging. Because idle draw is low, most wearers charge two to three times per week rather than daily.
Yes. Because Vue frames are dispensed with corrective lenses, they qualify as prescription eyewear under most FSA and HSA plans, and itemized receipts can be submitted to major vision carriers for out-of-network reimbursement. Full documentation is available on our FSA, HSA and insurance page.
Frames weigh approximately 25 grams and carry an IPX5 water-resistance rating, meaning they tolerate sweat, rain and splashes during running, cycling and outdoor work. They are not rated for submersion or swimming.
Yes. Selected optical retailers and partner locations carry Vue display frames for fit testing. Use our store locator to find the nearest stockist, or contact our team for distribution and wholesale enquiries.
