Meta glasses are failing people like me, but I'm taking matters into my own hands


I'm tired of waiting for Meta to expand prescription ranges, so I turned to Lensology instead.

Be My Eyes support and commands like "Hey Meta, look and describe" use the cameras onboard smart glasses and AI to provide audio descriptions of the real world to people who couldn't otherwise see them. While this might feel like a step backward, Meta Ray-Ban Display has a screen built into the right lens, presumably adding technical limitations to supporting higher-strength eye prescriptions. Additionally, third-party sites like GlassesUSA and Lensology are filling the gap by making custom lenses for prescriptions beyond what Meta provides through its own online shop and partner retailers.
