Smart glasses come into focus

For over a decade, smart glasses have hovered on the fringes of consumer technology. Now, that may be changing. With Meta’s latest push into prescription-ready smart eyewear, the category appears to be entering a more mature, commercially viable phase.

Meta’s newly unveiled Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles signal a decisive shift from novelty gadgets for early adopters to an accessory designed for everyday wear. The lineup, developed in partnership with Ray-Ban, introduces two new frame designs — Blayzer (rectangular) and Scriber (circular) — with a clear focus on users who require vision correction.
