Meta officially unveiled its first AI Smart Glasses with a built-in screen, Meta Ray-Ban display, Meta Connect in 2025. The company also revealed that the glasses would be available for the purchase starting from September 30. However, if you want to buy a pair of $ 799 smart glasses, you cannot order them online.
Instead, you have to do Book a demo One of the Retail Partners of Meta, such as Best Bye, Lencrafts, Sanglass Hut, or Ray-Ban Store. And at the time of every store launch, Meta Ray-Ban will not offer the display glass demo. So you have to do Check the scheduling tool To find a store with you and then see which appointments they have available. The lenscrafters site says that appointments take 20 minutes.
Too: I used the meta ray-ban display glass, and they offer 2 successes to take us beyond the smartphone.
If you were expecting to buy a pair on the day of launch, you can already be out of luck.
When I checked for the demo in my area – where many of the best purchased, sunglass hut, and lenscofter retail stores – only one of the best buying demos were offering the demo and the time available to book the early time was available on October 11. When I typed into various zip codes in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Angels, Angels, Angels, were in many more stores. In the middle in late October. Some stores are already booking in November.
When you book a slot, it says, “You will be directed through one hand demo” and “Associates will help you find the right style.” To secure your slot, you also have to click on a acknowledgment that says, “I think if I need a prescription lens, I should know the details of my prescription or wear your contact lens to experience the demo well. A +4.00 total power, single vision may be available only.”
The Meta Ray-Ban display comes with a folding case for nerve bands and $ 799.

After the official announcement of Meta Ray-Ban display glasses, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth made Q&A on InstagramExplaining why the meta is taking this approach to the sale of its new major glasses at the time of launch.
Bosworth said, “We first decided to put a display on sale in retail stores-and people are setting up the demo.” “One thing that is accompanied by technical products is that they are purchased by those who just want to try them (and then return them). And we wanted to make sure that they (purchased) … those who really wanted them. But it’s just a temporary thing.”
Bosworth said, “Of course, over time, we plan to provide them online through meta.com and other retailers.”
It is understandable that Meta does not want to give a large number of returns of a product that is difficult for construction and such small supply. Meta does a sharp business Renewed units of classic meta re-bambooWhich ZDNET has recommended as a great way to take a pair of smart glasses at a discount. But renewing the meta ray-ban display glass with their expensive components and more complex techniques can be a big challenge, while the product is coming in the market first.
In addition to the booking challenge, ZDNET recommended that most people who are interested in the Meta Ray-Ban display Book a demo To take a look at the technique. However, if you want to buy a pair of smart glasses, go with new updates Meta Ray-Ban Jean 2, Meta Okle HSTNOr Meta Okle Mohra To start in the ecosystem and see where smart glasses can fit in your work and lifestyle.
