Carol’s story, from our Middleton practice.
Carol Peers is partially sighted. Losing much of her sight made bus numbers, menus and signs hard to read. Our trainee dispensing optician James Hooper introduced her to Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and the team spent four hours setting them up for her, personalising them and connecting them to her phone. She now uses them alongside her guide dog, Bagel.
“Losing my sight had really affected my confidence and independence.”Carol Peers, in Optometry Today
“Technology like this has enormous potential, but it’s only truly life-changing when patients are supported.”Sohail Khan, director, Abra & Co

Ray-Ban Meta: your questions
Can you get prescription Ray-Ban Meta glasses?
Yes. Meta makes prescription lenses for Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Its help centre gives a range of -12.00 to +6.00 total power for most frames, and -6.00 to +4.00 for the Gen 3 Aviator. We check your prescription first so you know it fits that range before you order.
Do I need an eye test first?
We need an up-to-date prescription. If you have not had an eye test recently, book one first: free on the NHS if you qualify, or a private eye test for £55 (£40 at Winsford). Forty-five minutes with the optometrist.
Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses help if I am partially sighted?
They can help with some everyday tasks. Meta AI can describe what is around you and read text out loud, and you can call a Be My Eyes volunteer by saying “Hey Meta, Be My Eyes”. In September, Optometry Today reported how our Middleton team helped Carol Peers, who is partially sighted, use them to read menus and see bus numbers. AI can make mistakes, so they do not replace a cane, a guide dog or your low vision support.
Do they work with my phone?
Yes, with an iPhone or an Android phone, through the Meta AI app. The app works with VoiceOver and TalkBack.
How much are prescription Ray-Ban Meta glasses?
Meta’s UK store lists Ray-Ban Meta from £409 (28 October 2026). Prescription lenses are extra.
