EssilorLuxottica and Meta have announced an expansion of their AI glasses portfolio with the introduction of new Ray-Ban Meta optical-first styles designed for prescription wearers. The move adds to a portfolio that already includes Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta HSTN, Oakley Meta Vanguard and Meta Ray-Ban Display.
The new Ray-Ban Meta collection includes two optical-first models: Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Scriber Optics (Gen 2). According to the companies, the frames feature a slimmer design, interchangeable nose pads, overextension hinges with an additional 10 degrees of rotation, adjustable temple tips and a dedicated action button for activating Meta AI and accessing shortcuts or capture functions.
EssilorLuxottica said both new styles are designed to support a wide range of prescriptions and can be paired with advanced single-vision lenses, progressive lenses or Transitions® lenses. The companies are also expanding lens options across Oakley Meta products, with Oakley Meta Vanguard now available with Transitions® lenses for the first time.
In addition to the new prescription-focused styles, the announcement includes limited-time seasonal colours for select Ray-Ban Meta frames, including Shiny Transparent Grey for Wayfarer, Shiny Transparent Peach for Skyler and Matte Transparent Peach for Headliner. EssilorLuxottica and Meta also said the AI glasses collection will expand later this year to new markets including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Chile, Peru and Colombia.
The companies are also broadening Meta AI functionality on their glasses platform. New and upcoming features include live translation in additional languages, hands-free food logging and nutrition tracking, and message summaries designed to help users recap missed conversations. Across the portfolio, the glasses also support functions such as photo and video capture, music and podcast playback, calling, messaging and real-time translation.
The new Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics models became available for pre-order in the United States on March 31, with broader retail availability beginning April 14 through Ray-Ban stores, Ray-Ban.com, Meta.com, select EssilorLuxottica optical retail banners and the company’s wholesale distribution network in multiple markets, including Canada.
