The post continues: 'The Glass design is modular, so you will be able to add frames and lenses that match your prescription. We understand how important this is and we've been working hard on it... We're still perfecting the design for prescription frames. Although the frames won't be ready for the Explorer Edition's release, hang in there -- you can expect to see them later this year.' The post also includes an image of Greg Priest-Dorman, a member of the Glass team, sporting a headset along with his prescription glasses.
