Ray-Ban Meta glasses at SmartBuyGlasses include familiar styles such as Wayfarer, Headliner and Skyler. They look much like everyday eyewear, but add a built-in camera, open-ear audio, voice control and Meta AI. Prescription options are available on selected frames, so you can choose a style based on both fit and how you want to use the smart features day to day.
Ray-Ban Meta glasses let you do quite a lot without reaching for your phone. You can take photos and videos from your point of view, listen to music or podcasts through the open-ear speakers, make calls and use supported messaging features. Meta AI can also answer questions about what you are looking at, although some features vary by country and language and may require the latest software.
The usefulness is often in small everyday moments. If you are cooking, for example, you can ask a question about something in front of you without stopping to pick up your phone. The same applies when you are travelling, getting ready or simply have your hands full.
You can also use them for quieter things: listening to a podcast around the house, taking a call without putting on headphones or hearing supported messages while you move around. The appeal is less about having technology for the sake of it and more about keeping some everyday tasks hands-free.
Wayfarer, Headliner and Skyler each have a different shape. Wayfarer is more structured and square, Headliner has a stronger upper frame with softer curves, while Skyler has a rounder silhouette. If you already own glasses that fit well, comparing the frame width, bridge and temple measurements can help you choose between them.
You may also see different generations depending on the style. Gen 2 models offer longer battery life than Gen 1, with Ray-Ban listing up to 8 hours of moderate use on a single charge. Battery life varies depending on use, settings and other factors, so check the individual product page if this is important to you.
Prescription lenses are available on selected Ray-Ban Meta frames, although compatibility depends on the frame, prescription and lens type. Clear lenses are the obvious choice if you expect to wear them indoors or throughout the day, while other lens options may be available depending on the model.
If you are unsure what works with your prescription, our in-house opticians can help you check the available options. Ray-Ban Meta glasses also need a compatible smartphone and Meta setup, with current Ray-Ban product information listing support for compatible iOS and Android devices.
The main difference is really the lens and where you expect to wear them. Clear-lens Ray-Ban Meta glasses make more sense if you want to use the smart features indoors or throughout the day. Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses are better suited to outdoor use and come with tinted, polarised and Transitions® options on selected styles.
If you want a sun lens rather than a clear one, visit the Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses page to compare those options in more detail.
