Meta has officially launched its first smart glasses designed specifically for prescription lens wearers. The Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (rectangular frame) and Ray-Ban Meta Scriber Optics (rounded frame) are now available at optical retailers across the US and select international markets, starting at $499.

What's Different

  • Prescription-first design: Overextension hinges, interchangeable nose pads, and temple tips adjustable by opticians
  • Model numbers: Blayzer (RW7001) comes in regular and large sizes; Scriber (RW7002) in a single size
  • Wi-Fi 6 support: Both include Wi-Fi 6 UNII-4 band for faster photo/video transfers
  • Full Meta AI: All camera, speaker, microphone, and AI features from the Wayfarer carry over
  • Charging case included for on-the-go power

Why This Matters

Until now, prescription wearers had to use clip-on adapters or third-party lens inserts with Ray-Ban Meta — a clunky experience. Blayzer and Scriber are built from the ground up for optical lenses, making smart glasses practical for the millions of people who wear prescription eyewear daily.

What This Means for Buyers

If you wear prescription glasses and have been waiting for smart glasses that actually work for you, this is the moment. The standard Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer at $379 on Amazon remains the best deal for non-prescription users. The Even Realities G1 offers a no-camera alternative for privacy-focused buyers.
