Meta is reportedly planning to expand its Ray-Ban smart glasses lineup with a focus on users who wear prescription lenses. According to a report by 9To5Google, citing Bloomberg, the company is preparing to launch two new smart glasses designed specifically for vision correction needs. The report said these upcoming models will feature “rectangular and rounded styles” and are being developed with prescription users in mind, rather than adapting existing designs.

It also mentioned that the glasses may be sold through “traditional prescription eyewear channels,” indicating that Meta could expand beyond its current retail approach to reach more users who rely on corrective lenses.
The report also cited comments from Mark Zuckerberg, who said during a recent earnings call that “billions of people wear glasses or contacts for vision correction” and that “it’s hard to imagine a world in several years where most glasses that people wear aren’t AI glasses.” As per the report, Meta suggested prescription smart glasses as a key step in making AI wearables more mainstream.
