What does Meta Ray-Ban Display cost in the UK?
Meta's UK store lists the glasses from £749, with Meta Neural Band, a charging case and the band charger in the box. Vision Express lists each of its four frame and colour options at £749. Meta's UK pages do not state a price for prescription lenses. In the US the starting price is still $799, and Meta's US retail FAQ adds $200 for prescription lenses.
Can you get prescription lenses in the UK?
Not as a named, priced option yet. Meta's UK product page lists the same range as the US, −4.00 to +4.00 total power (sphere plus cylinder), and Meta's prescription pages say single vision only, with no progressive lenses; the prescription is built into the display lens, so it must be ordered when you buy. Meta says that "select retail locations in the UK, France, and Italy will support prescription", but it has not named the UK stores or published a UK lens price or lead time. Vision Express's Ray-Ban Meta page marks the Display "Prescription not available".
Until a UK store that takes prescription orders is named, the checker shows this model as having no UK prescription route, and shows the published range for comparison.
