Can I add a prescription to sun or Transitions lenses?
Are progressive lenses available for AI glasses?
Yes. Progressive lenses are designed for people who require more than one vision correction, such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. The lens surface has different prescription areas but appears completely seamless.
Select AI glasses are available with progressive lenses directly from Meta.com, but Meta Ray-Ban Display is not compatible with progressive lenses.

Ordering and placing your order
How do I order AI glasses with prescription lenses?
How can I tell if I have a valid prescription?
A valid prescription must include: (1) patient’s name, (2) date of exam (issue date), and (3) prescriber’s name and signature.
Prescriptions typically expire one to two years from the issue date. Make sure to check your prescription for the specific expiration date before ordering.
What if I don’t have a prescription or mine is expired?
Can I add prescription lenses to Meta AI glasses I already own?
Yes. Most Meta AI glasses are compatible with prescription lenses. Your options depend on the product:
Products: Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta HSTN, Meta Glasses. Add lenses later? Yes. Where: Certified retailer or your optical provider.
Product: Oakley Meta Vanguard. Add lenses later? No, not available with prescription lenses.
Product: Meta Ray-Ban Display. Add lenses later? No, at purchase only. Prescription must be ordered at time of purchase through a certified retailer.
Note: The manufacturer warranty will remain intact only if prescription lenses are added at a certified retailer.
Where can I try Meta Ray-Ban Display with my prescription?
Visit Meta’s demo finder to locate a nearby store that offers demos with prescription inserts. Demos use removable prescription inserts so that multiple customers can quickly try the glasses with their own prescription without needing to customize each unit.
The final product does not use inserts. Your prescription will be fully integrated into the lenses for a more refined look and greater comfort.
