Meta is reportedly working on a new generation of AI-powered smart glasses aimed directly at users who wear prescription lenses, signaling a shift toward more inclusive wearable technology.

According to reports, the upcoming models—codenamed “Scriber” and “Blazer”—are being designed with prescription users in mind from the outset, rather than offering vision correction as an add-on. The development marks a departure from existing products like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which only accommodate prescription lenses as an optional feature.
The new glasses are expected to be available in both rectangular and rounded frame styles, offering greater variety for everyday users. They may also be sold through traditional optical retailers, making them more accessible and easier to customise through local opticians.
While specific design details remain unconfirmed, improvements are likely to focus on comfort-related factors such as frame weight, lens housing, and overall fit—key considerations for people who wear glasses throughout the day.
Regulatory filings indicate that the devices may be nearing launch, with reports suggesting that the “Blazer” model could come in a larger size compared to “Scriber,” expanding fit options.
In terms of technology, both models are expected to support faster connectivity through Wi-Fi 6, potentially enabling features such as improved data transfer and livestreaming. However, they are not expected to include built-in displays.
The move reflects Meta’s growing focus on expanding the appeal of wearable tech beyond early adopters by targeting a vast global audience of prescription eyewear users—an underserved segment in the smart glasses market.
