Ask about the Meta Glasses

Can I get prescription lenses? Yes, you can. The frames can be glazed to your prescription. Through LensCrafters, or an Rx lens swap. -12.00 to +2.25.
Do the lenses tint automatically? Yes, the lenses tint themselves. They darken in sunlight on their own.
How good is the camera? It shoots on a 12MP main camera.
What does it cost? It costs $299. That is the list price.
How long does the battery last? It runs 8 hours. That is 40 hours with the extra from the case, and 8 hours at most.
Do I need a subscription? It is not clear from the official published information. Meta One Premium, $19.99 a month, is a separate paid plan for Meta AI and Meta's apps, and Meta has not said it applies to these glasses.

Meta had a pair of smart glasses codenamed Modelo down for June. June came and went. No launch followed.

The codenames sit in an internal Meta memo, described first by The Information. Meta wants to sell glasses beyond the Ray-Ban and Oakley partnerships it already has.

Luna is down for this fall, alongside something called RBM2 Refresh that reads like another Ray-Ban model. Mojito VIP is listed for December, the last pair on the memo's 2026 calendar, per Engadget.

A codename and a month is the whole of what anyone has published about any of the three.

The memo counts at least four new pairs in all, per Road to VR. None of them has a price or a picture.

Modelo's window closed in June. Luna's is open now.
