On March 31, 2026, Meta announced its first AI glasses made especially for people who need prescription lenses, or lenses made for their own eyes. The two new models are the Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and the Ray-Ban Meta Scriber Optics (Gen 2). Meta says these glasses are light and comfortable for all-day wear. In the United States, the starting price is $499. Pre-orders began on March 31, and store sales are set to start on April 14 in the US and some other markets. (about.fb.com)
Meta made these glasses with Ray-Ban and EssilorLuxottica. The new frames have some useful changes. They have nose pads you can change, hinges that open wider, and temple tips that an optician can adjust for a better fit. Meta says the new styles support nearly all prescriptions. Buyers can also choose different lens types, including single-vision, progressive, and Transitions lenses. (about.fb.com)
These glasses are not only for clear vision. Like other Meta AI glasses, they can help users take photos and videos from their own point of view, listen to music and podcasts, make calls, send messages, and translate conversations in real time. Meta also said more software updates are coming soon. These include hands-free food logging, nutrition tracking, and WhatsApp message summaries. (about.fb.com)
This news is interesting because many people wear glasses every day. Meta is clearly trying to make smart glasses easier for more people to use, not only for people with perfect eyesight. If these new models are comfortable and easy to use, they could help AI glasses feel more normal in daily life. That means smart glasses may slowly move from a special gadget to an everyday tool.
