The R1 Edition 20 is designed with eye comfort as a top priority. Unlike smartphones or laptops viewed at close range, the R1's optical design projects images at a longer focal distance, like a projector. This approach is intended to reduce eye strain during extended use. Furthermore, the glasses have received the TÜV Eye Comfort certification, ensuring they meet rigorous standards for display quality and user health.
To maintain optimal eye health, we recommend taking a 10-minute break for every 45 to 60 minutes of continuous use. Avoid using glasses in environments where you cannot maintain situational awareness to ensure your safety. -

Before You Buy

To ensure optimal visual clarity and wearing comfort, we recommend selecting the size based on your IPD (Interpupillary Distance):
IPD 63: Ideal for users with an IPD range of 57mm - 66mm
IPD 69: Ideal for users with an IPD range of 66mm - 75mm
While these guidelines fit most users, everyone's face shape is different. If you're between sizes or uncertain, we highly recommend visiting a retail store to try both for the most accurate fit. -
If you have had an eye exam recently, your IPD is usually listed on your prescription. Otherwise, you can refer to the following guide to measure it: (Link: https://rog.asus.com/content/r1-glasses-ipd/)
