Billions of individuals globally use glasses or contact lenses for vision correction, and many owners of Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses already incorporate prescription lenses into their AI eyewear. Today, we are launching a new pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses designed to accommodate nearly all prescriptions. Additionally, new colors and lens options for both Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta frames are being introduced, along with advanced software updates such as hands-free nutrition tracking and Meta AI WhatsApp summaries.
Our First Prescription-Optimized AI Glasses
The latest Ray-Ban Meta glasses are crafted to better serve those who depend on prescription glasses and wear them all day. They will be available in two distinct styles: Blayzer, a rectangular design offered in Standard and Large sizes, and Scriber, which features a more rounded frame. These glasses are designed for maximum comfort throughout the day.
Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Scriber Optics (Gen 2) glasses come equipped with overextension hinges, interchangeable nose pads, and temple tips adjustable by an optician, ensuring a customized fit for any face shape. These new styles are available for pre-order, starting at $499, in the US beginning today on Meta.com and Ray-Ban.com. They will be available at optical retailers in the US and select international markets starting April 14.
Match Your Mood With New Colors and Lenses
As spring and summer approach, we are also offering new color combinations for Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) frames:
- Skyler in Shiny Transparent Peach with Transitions® Brown Lenses;
- Headliner in Matte Transparent Peach with Transitions® Grey Lenses;
- Wayfarer in Shiny Transparent Grey with Transitions® Sapphire Lenses.
New frame color and lens combinations for Oakley Meta Vanguard and HSTN are also being introduced, providing a more vibrant and saturated view. These include Prizm Dark Golf lenses, and for the first time, Oakley Meta Vanguard will be available with Prizm Transitions® lenses designed to adapt to any light for optimal outdoor performance:
- Vanguard Black with Prizm Black Lenses;
- Vanguard White with Prizm Rose Gold Lenses;
- Vanguard Black with Prizm Transitions® Ember Lenses (available later this spring);
- HSTN Black with Prizm Dark Golf Lenses;
- HSTN Light Curry with Clear to Brown Transitions® Lenses.
Even More Features and Meta AI Capabilities On the Way
Aside from their stylish appearance, our glasses are becoming increasingly functional and intuitive with regular software updates and new AI features. We are simplifying nutrition tracking on our AI glasses. With a simple voice command or quick photo, you can log your meals hands-free, and Meta AI will extract key nutrition details and add them to your food log in the Meta AI app. Over time, this log will offer personalized insights to help you make healthier and more informed choices. For immediate nutrition guidance, you can ask Meta AI questions like “What should I eat to increase my energy?” with responses tailored to your food log and goals.
This feature will be available to individuals aged 18 and over in the US with Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses soon, and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses later this summer. We are also introducing hands-free WhatsApp summaries and recall in our Early Access Program (EAP). Users will be able to ask, “Hey Meta, catch me up on my messages,” for a concise group chat summary, or inquire about specific details like, “What did Jamie suggest for dinner?” These interactions are processed on-device and remain private with end-to-end encryption. This will be available in EAP soon for those with Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.
Neural Handwriting on Meta Ray-Ban Display is also rolling out to everyone in the coming weeks and will be available for iMessage. Users can write with their finger on any surface to reply to messages silently and discreetly. This feature works across Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and native Android and iOS messaging. Soon, display recording will allow users to combine their in-lens display interactions, view of the world, and audio into a single, shareable video for friends and followers. Lastly, our pedestrian navigation feature is expanding to every city across the US in May, enabling users to receive turn-by-turn directions directly in their lens, keeping their heads up and phones in their pockets. This follows a release earlier this month that included Instagram Reels, personalized Spotify Shortcuts, and new glanceable widgets like Reminders, Weather, Stocks, and Calendar on the home screen.
Even more new software features are on the way this spring, and we are excited to begin rolling out our new glasses in the coming months.
