Dubbed the Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles, the new frames come in a rectangular "Blayzer" style and a circular "Scriber" version. Both feature overextension hinges, interchangeable nose pads, and adjustable temple tips that opticians can customize for better fit.
The overextension hinges were previously only available on the Meta Ray-Ban Display model and were absent from the standard Ray-Ban lineup. The new Optics Styles support what Meta calls an "unrestricted" range of prescriptions, compared to the limited prescription compatibility of previous models.
The launch represents Meta's most direct attempt yet to make its smart glasses accessible to the roughly 75 percent of American adults who require some form of vision correction. Previous Ray-Ban Meta models could accommodate some prescriptions but were designed primarily as fashion frames.
