The Google glass is now the talk of the innovative world as persons continue to wonder on the benefits they could derive from this masterpiece of technology. Google, best known for revolutionizing the search engine, is now changing the way we think about – and use – glasses.
Google Glass allows users to record video, exchange messages, and even get directions, all hands-free.
While technology geeks and fashion driven folks want to be among the first to wear the new interactive glasses, but the big question is, Can it serve them? Can they operate it? Is it affordable?

Affordability of the Google glass
Google Glass is pricey, but thanks to a new partnership between Google and VSP Global, the smart accessories may become more accessible through VSPs vision care program, which is offered through employers around the country.
The partnership allows VSP members to receive discounts on Google Glass up to the frame allowance provided within the vision benefit. The subsidized prices average about $225 for the frames and lenses – but the interactive device embedded in the glasses still costs another $1,500.
How do you blend with the technology
The Google-VSP partnership extends beyond making the glasses affordable, as both companies are working to train eyewear professionals. That’s because it’s important that Google Glass be fitted correctly to avoid eye strain. Users also have to learn how to adjust to the technology that's right in front of them, particularly as they try to balance other tasks.
Google and VSP have a clear vision that Glass will soon be the norm in the workplace, and they're making it easy for employees to enjoy the benefits.
