Meta announced on Tuesday that it’s launching two Ray-Ban smart glasses that are designed for prescription wearers. While many people already use Meta glasses with prescription lenses, the company says these new ones support nearly all prescriptions and are built to better serve people who rely on all-day eyewear.

The new glasses start at $499 and will be available at optical retailers in the U.S. and select international markets, starting April 14. They will be available in two styles: Blayzer, a rectangular design available in standard and large sizes, and Scriber, a more rounded frame style.

Meta says these glasses are the most comfortable ones it has ever designed, as they’re made for all-day comfort.

Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Scriber Optics (Gen 2) glasses are designed for a personalized fit, featuring flexible overextension hinges, interchangeable nose pads, and temple tips that can be adjusted by an optician to suit your face shape.

Meta also announced that it’s introducing new colors and lens options for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta frames: the Skyler frame in Shiny Transparent Peach with Transitions Brown Lenses, the Headliner frame in Matte Transparent Peach with Transitions Grey Lenses, and the Wayfarer frame in Shiny Transparent Grey with Transitions Sapphire Lenses.

As for the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, Meta will offer them in Vanguard Black with Prizm Black Lenses, Vanguard White with Prizm Rose Gold Lenses, Vanguard Black with Prizm Transitions Ember Lenses, HSTN Black with Prizm Dark Golf Lenses, and HSTN Light Curry with Clear to Brown Transitions Lenses.

Meta is bringing more AI features to its smart glasses too. The company says it’s making nutrition tracking on its glasses easier, as users can now use voice or a quick photo to log meals hands-free. Meta AI captures key nutrition details and adds them to your food log. Over time, your food log will deliver personalized insights to help you make healthier choices.
