Does this mean the prescription lenses are included? They didn’t seem to indicate that during the release but it reads that way to me in this article.

    I think it's just worded that way. They've discussed it as an add-on in other places.

    I'd read it more as "maybe they have you try on the headset as part of the fitting process" and it won't work for you without the correct inserts on hand. Or maybe just that because you need the inserts to use the device, they want to be sure they have them on hand if you end up having to book significantly in advance so you aren't wasting your time and an appointment slot.

    You probably still have to pay for the inserts. I have a Valve Index and VR wasn’t fun without them for me as a practically blind guy.

    I've used HTC Vive, Valve Index, Sony PSVR1 & 2 as a glasses wearer.... It's definitely doable but the inserts make the experience a lot nicer. The current VR lens insert market is around $50-100 depending on the vendor and your prescription strength. I'm guessing Apple will charge similarly for theirs.
