1. Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 AI Glasses Add Prescription Support, Preorders Open April 14

Meta. Meta announced two new Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses models — Blayzer and Scriber Optics — starting at $499 with preorders opening April 14. The key advance is full prescription lens support covering nearly all corrective prescriptions, removing the biggest adoption barrier for everyday eyewear users. New software capabilities include hands-free nutrition logging and WhatsApp message summaries, deepening the AI assistant functionality beyond camera and voice features. The glasses will be available through traditional retail and optician channels, signaling Meta’s push to move AI glasses from tech novelty to mainstream accessory. Source
