Connected technology in a familiar frame
Meta smart glasses combine conventional eyewear with connected features such as hands-free photos and video, open-ear audio, calls, voice controls and supported AI functions. Exact capabilities depend on the model, software, phone, account and region, so review the current manufacturer specifications before buying.
Some models can be ordered with prescription lenses or fitted by an authorized optical retailer. Compatibility depends on the frame, lens design and prescription. An eye exam and professional measurements help determine whether a particular smart-glasses frame is a sensible choice for your vision needs.
What smart glasses can do
Depending on the current model and software, features may include hands-free photos and video, open-ear audio, phone calls, voice controls and supported AI functions.
Can Meta smart glasses use prescription lenses?
Some models support prescription lenses, but the available range depends on the frame, lens design and prescription. Confirm compatibility before purchasing or altering a frame.
Fit still matters
Camera and audio features do not change the fundamentals of eyewear. The frame should fit securely, position the lenses correctly and remain comfortable during normal use.
Privacy is part of responsible use
A camera indicator is not a substitute for judgment. Respect other people's privacy, ask before recording when appropriate and follow the rules of the place you are in.
