Google Glass Unveils Prescription Frames: The powerhouse behind the web-browsing glasses has introduced its first collection of prescription frames—available for sale Tuesday.

Geared toward existing users, the Google Glass hardware easily attaches to the new set of frames, making the Google Glass a bit more stylish—and wearable—for the tech-savvy crowd. “We’re making it a more natural part of your life," Isabelle Olsson, Google Glass lead designer told WWD. "[Wearing Glass] will be easier with this, plus you have more choices. It’s a very natural extension of things that you already wear.” [WWD]
