Overview
- Meta introduced two Gen‑2 Ray‑Ban models for prescription lenses with U.S. preorders from $499 and sales in select international markets beginning April 14.
- Blayzer Optics uses a rectangular frame and Scriber Optics a rounder one, and both support nearly all prescriptions with flexible hinges, swappable nose pads, and adjustable temple tips for all‑day comfort.
- Meta is adding hands‑free nutrition tracking through Meta AI, letting wearers log meals by voice or photo as part of the U.S. rollout.
- The glasses can deliver WhatsApp message summaries through an Early Access Program, giving chat catch‑ups on request without pulling out a phone.
- The $499 entry price undercuts 2025’s Ray‑Ban Display at $799 plus $200 for lenses, which could draw more everyday eyeglass users into AI wearables.
