An optical company in the Midwest introduced a prescription glasses add-on for Google Glass on Tuesday.
"We're proud to be the first optical company in the world to unveil this new technology, and we look forward to optimizing the Google Glass experience," Indiana-based Longe Optical says on its website.

"As an optical company and eyeglass wearers ourselves, we have a pretty high level of empathy for those who need eyeglasses, and just haven't been able to utilize Glass the way it is intended," Jeff Ostermann, president of Longe Optical, told Mashable.

In terms of construction, Ostermann revealed that the design was inspired in part by Google's existing sunglass shade offering, which attaches to Glass.
Ostermann declined to provide details about pricing or date of availability, but the site is currently accepting inquiries from potential customers who are looking to buy a pair of the specially designed prescription eyeglasses.
Despite the small number of people who actually own Glass, the interest surrounding a prescription eyeglasses version of the device has been high.
Last month, Rochester Optical announced plans to unveil its own prescription eyeglasses solution for Glass, and earlier this month a Google employee leaked photos of what appeared to be an official version of prescription Glass.
A Google spokesperson told Mashable that Longe Optical has no official connection to Google or its Glass device.
