Meta Platforms Inc. plans to debut two new Ray-Ban smart glasses models next week intended for prescription wearers, according to a Bloomberg report published March 27.
The announcement represents Meta’s expansion of its Ray-Ban smart glasses line to accommodate users who require corrective lenses. The company has been developing AI-powered eyewear through its partnership with Ray-Ban parent company EssilorLuxottica.
The report provides limited technical details about the new models, focusing primarily on their intended market of prescription lens wearers. No specific launch date beyond “next week” was provided in the Bloomberg article.
The move targets a significant portion of the eyewear market, as prescription glasses wearers represent a substantial demographic that has been underserved by previous smart glasses offerings. This expansion could broaden the potential user base for Meta’s AI-enabled eyewear products.
Meta has not yet released official specifications, pricing, or detailed availability information for the new prescription-compatible models. The company’s existing Ray-Ban smart glasses have featured cameras, speakers, and AI capabilities integrated into traditional eyewear frames.
