Written by the Charm Optical Team • July 14, 2026

Meta glasses cost between CAD $509 and CAD $759 at Charm Optical as of October 2026. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) starts at $509, the new Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) at $558, Oakley Meta HSTN at $529, and the top-of-range Oakley Meta Vanguard is $669 to $759 — the exact price depends on the lens you choose, not the frame.

Every price below is the frame-and-lens price as sold. Prescription lenses are quoted separately, and we cover exactly how that works further down.

All prices in Canadian dollars, as of October 2026. We keep demo units in-store so you can try the fit and sizing — your actual pair is ordered in for you, and we will confirm timing when you book.

Ray-Ban Meta price list (Gen 2): $509 to $599

Three of the four Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) sun styles — Wayfarer, Headliner and Headliner Low Bridge Fit — start at CAD $509 on a G-15 Green lens, and the Wayfarer is also $509 in Black / Clear. The Wayfarer's Graphite lens is $549. Photochromic lenses, which darken in sunlight and clear indoors, are $599, and the Skyler is $599 in both of its colourways. The range tops out at $599 — the photochromic lenses, and the Transparent Grey finish on the Wayfarer.

Ray-Ban Meta Optics: the prescription-built styles at $569

Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Scriber Optics (Gen 2) are CAD $569, flat, in every colour. Blayzer is the rectangular one and comes in Standard and Large sizes. Scriber is the rounder shape. Meta calls these its first AI glasses built for prescriptions, and they are the pair we hand to anyone who wears glasses all day.

Oakley Meta price list: $529 to $759

Oakley Meta HSTN starts at CAD $529 with a PRIZM or clear lens, $589 with PRIZM Polarized, and $619 with Transitions. Oakley Meta Vanguard is CAD $669 in six PRIZM colourways and $759 with PRIZM Transitions Ember — there is no lower lens tier, because it is a single sport build.

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) price list: $558 to $648

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) is new at Charm Optical since September 2026, in three styles: Wayfarer, Zena and Aviator. As sunglasses they start at CAD $558, Green Polarized is $598, and the clear-to-tint Transitions colourways are $648. As eyeglasses — Wayfarer Optics, Zena Optics and Aviator Optics — every colour is $558. All of them take a prescription, and Meta rates Gen 3 at up to nine hours of battery, an hour more than Gen 2. As of October 2026, Ray-Ban Meta Audio (Clubmaster and Burbank) is listed as coming soon; see our Ray-Ban Meta page for its current status.

Why the same frame has three different prices

Because you are paying for the lens, not for more technology. Every Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) has the same camera, the same 3K video and the same battery whether it costs $509 or $599. Here is the same frame, photographed at every rung it climbs.

The lens ladder

The frame stays the same. The lens moves the price.

The teal bar is the frame's floor price — electronics, frame and base lens. The amber bar is what a different lens adds on top of it.

Frame + electronics (fixed) What the lens adds

• Base lens (clear or a sun tint) — the floor price
• A darker or polarized lens — adds about $40 to $60
• Photochromic or Transitions — adds about $90

So the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 2) ladder runs $509 → $549 → $599, and the Oakley Meta HSTN ladder runs $529 → $589 → $619. If your budget is firm, take the base lens. You lose nothing that the glasses actually do.

Same camera. Same chip. Same battery. The only thing climbing the price ladder is the lens.

How much are Ray-Ban camera glasses? (What the camera actually costs)

Ray-Ban camera glasses start at CAD $509 at Charm Optical, as of October 2026. Every Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2 and Gen 3) and Oakley Meta model priced on this page is a camera pair: every model in the table above records, and so does Gen 3.

What you get for $509

Inside the entry price

Where the CAD $509 goes

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 2), Black / Clear — the exact colourway that sells for $509. Everything below is in the frame at the base price. Nothing here is an upgrade.

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 2), Black / Clear (601SSB) — CAD $509

• 1

  The camera

  3K Ultra HD video capture, ultrawide HDR at up to 60 frames per second, plus hyperlapse and slow-motion modes.

• 2

  The battery

  Up to eight hours with typical use — Meta puts Gen 2 at up to twice the battery life of the first generation.

• 3

  The charging case

  An additional 48 hours of charging on the go. The glasses themselves reach 50% in about 20 minutes.

• 4

  Open-ear audio and Meta AI

  Speakers built into the arms for music and calls without plugging your ears, and hands-free "Hey Meta" voice control.

Two honest notes. Water: Meta publishes an IPX4 water-resistance rating for both Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and the Oakley Meta HSTN — splashes, rain and sweat, and nothing beyond that. The Oakley Meta Vanguard goes further, at IP67. Treat any pair as everyday glasses, not swim goggles. Privacy: Meta says a white capture LED lights up whenever the glasses record, and that the camera is disabled if that light is blocked or tampered with.

Camera glasses versus a standard Ray-Ban: what the extra spend buys

A regular pair of Ray-Bans is a frame and a lens. A pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses is a frame, a lens, a camera, microphones, speakers and a battery. That is the whole gap. If you never film anything and never take a call, you are paying for hardware you will not use — a standard frame from our glasses collection will serve you better and cost less.

If you do film, the value is obvious the first time you record something hands-free while holding a coffee and a toddler.

What do prescription lenses add to the price?

Every model except the Vanguard takes an Rx lens

Every Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2 and Gen 3) and the Oakley Meta HSTN can be fitted with prescription lenses. The exception is the Oakley Meta Vanguard: Meta does not offer it with a prescription at all. It is a sun-only sport shield, sold in PRIZM sun tints only. For every other model, whether your prescription will work in a given frame depends on the frame shape and the lens design, so our opticians confirm that your Rx is a fit before anything is ordered. No surprises after you have paid.

Blayzer and Scriber Optics ($569): built for prescriptions from the ground up

If you wear glasses full-time, start here. Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Scriber Optics (Gen 2) are the styles Meta engineered around a prescription rather than adapting to one. Meta lists three pieces of fit hardware:

• Overextension hinges, so the arms give instead of gripping the sides of your head
• Interchangeable nose pads for a fit that actually sits where it should
• Optician-adjustable temple tips — we can heat and shape them for your head, which is the whole reason to buy a pair from an optical store instead of a box

Ten colourways, one price. Blayzer is rectangular and comes in Standard and Large; Scriber is the rounded shape.

How the Rx lens is quoted

The prescription lens is priced separately from the frame, after we take your measurements. It has to be: a single vision lens, a progressive lens and a Transitions lens are three different pieces of engineering, and your prescription decides which one you need. Meta, Ray-Ban and Oakley do not publish an Rx lens price, and we are not going to invent one for you.

Call us at (780) 490-0090 with your prescription, or bring it in, and you will get a real number for your pair — not a range.

Are Meta glasses covered by insurance in Canada?

Not as smart glasses. No benefits plan in Canada has a category called "smart glasses." What plans do have is an eyewear allowance, and that is where this gets interesting.

What a benefits plan will and won't pay for

Plans we handle

We direct bill or handle claims for:

NIHB requires pre-approval before an order goes in, so give us a little lead time on that one. The full list lives on our insurance providers page.

How to find out in 60 seconds

Bring your benefits card or plan number to Charm Optical, 5035 Ellerslie Rd SW, Edmonton, or call (780) 490-0090. We will look up your eyewear allowance and tell you what, if anything, applies — before you commit to a $509 to $759 purchase.

Which Meta glasses are worth the money?

Among the Gen 2 and Oakley Meta frames, the Vanguard is the only one with the centred camera, the 122-degree lens and the IP67 rating, and it has an up-to-9-hour battery. It is also the loud one: Meta says its speakers are six decibels louder than the Oakley Meta HSTN's, and it carries a five-microphone array tuned to cut wind noise. The HSTN, by comparison, is rated IPX4 with up to eight hours of typical use. If you are not running or riding in them, the extra $160 over a Wayfarer is not doing anything for you.

What about the Meta glasses with a display?

Meta has sold the Meta Ray-Ban Display in Canada since September 23, 2026, but Charm Optical does not carry it. It is the model with a screen inside the lens and the Neural Band wristband. Meta started Canadian sales with online ordering and retail sales in Vancouver and Toronto.

Because Charm Optical does not carry it, it is not in the price list above — every price on this page is for a pair you can order through us.

Try the demo pair on before you spend $500+

Five hundred dollars is a lot to spend on a frame you have only seen on a screen. The Wayfarer and the HSTN sit very differently on the same face, the Vanguard is a genuine wrap, and the Low Bridge Fit exists for a reason. Twenty minutes in front of a mirror settles it. What we keep in-store are demo units — display pairs you can put on to check the fit and the sizing. We do not hold sellable stock: once you know the shape and size that works, we order your actual pair in for you, and most of the range is a special order, so allow up to one to two months. Call ahead on (780) 490-0090 and we will make sure the demos you want to try are out and waiting.
