TL;DR Meta has launched two new pairs of Ray-Ban smart glasses specifically for users of prescription lenses.
Meta says these are apt for all-day usage, even though they are only slightly lighter than existing options in reality.
The new Ray-Ban Scriber and Blayzer frames come with the same specs as the existing Ray-Ban options without a display.
Although there aren’t reliable numbers to back this, numerous estimates suggest that more than half of the world’s population either uses or needs corrective glasses. About the same number of people also use Meta’s apps, including WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram combined. So, Meta would be sleeping on a massive business opportunity if it didn’t work on closing the gap between the two legions. And this is what it is aiming to do with its newest Ray-Ban smart glasses.
After reportedly selling more than seven million smart glasses in 2025 alone, Meta is now going after the larger pool of bespectacled users. It has officially released new Ray-Ban glasses specifically designed with prescription lenses in mind. These smart glasses fall under Meta’s new Optics series, which includes frames such as Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics, with a starting price of $499.
Blayzer Scriber
In its listing, Meta notes these new pairs are specifically designed for users who require corrective lenses. It adds that these are lightweight and designed more intentionally to be worn all day. In reality, however, both Blayzer and Scriber models are only marginally lighter than the existing Wayfarer, Headlines, or Skyler variants under its Ray-Ban collection. While the Scriber has a rounded bottom, Blayzer has a relatively boxy frame.
