John Lewis lists Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 in Matte Black with Clear/Blue lenses at £379, checked 28 October 2026. This is a non-prescription pair. Different frames and lens options have different prices.
The listed price covers the Matte Black Gen 2 Wayfarer and its Clear/Blue non-prescription lenses. John Lewis lists free standard UK delivery for this item. Prescription lenses, another lens option or a different delivery service can change the total.
Use the dated retailer listings below to check the exact Gen 2 frame and lens option. A ready-made pair with clear or tinted lenses is a different purchase from an optical retailer's prescription package.
Confirm the selected size, lens description, availability and delivered total on the retailer's page.
Buying with prescription lenses
Ask an optical retailer for a complete frame-and-lens quote. If you already own the frame, ask for a separate replacement-lens quote.
These are different lens and frame configurations, so the £80 difference is not a like-for-like saving. Both examples exclude prescription lenses. A retailer's default selection can change.
Generation and frame: check Gen 2, the frame name and the size. A different generation or Optics model is a different offer.
Lenses: check whether the listed pair includes clear, sun, polarised, Transitions or prescription lenses.
Final total: include any lens, fitting and delivery charges before comparing offers.
Offer date: use the date beside each price. A starting price is not evidence of a current discount or the lowest available price.
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) launched on 23 September 2026 from £409 and has its own buying page; Gen 2 remains on sale at the prices above.
For Spain, use the Spain row below to see whether a local price has been verified. Turkey is not currently covered by this tracker. A UK price converted into another currency is not a verified local retail price.
Each market keeps its own check date. “No data” means we have not verified that country; it does not mean the glasses are unavailable there. Prices in different countries may include different lens packages.
"Fits Rx" means the retailer glazes or supplies prescription lenses for this model. Prices carry the date they were checked; Amazon prices are never shown here, only on Amazon. Affiliate links are marked Ad and carry no weight in the order.

Lensology's order form, read 18 October 2026, publishes no sphere or cylinder maximum and charges extra above ±2.00 cylinder and ±10.00 sphere. · source
— Lensology's UK shipping (£6.95 next day) and non-prescription price (from £32.00) recorded from its own page, read 8 October 2026. · source
— Removed the style-guide figure as a separate route: Meta's style guide names no channel, country or generation, so it is kept as an open question and in the notes of Meta's published route instead of being shown as the headline route. · source
— OPSM row no longer shows a price: OPSM did not list a Gen 2 price on 7 October 2026. Meta's AU$629 remains the market price. · source
— UK route now cites Meta's UK prescription-lenses guide (-6.00 to +6.00, rule not stated) instead of a Vision Express page that no longer shows a range. The style-guide figure (-6.00 to +4.00 total power) is no longer labelled as a US channel route, because the page names no channel or country. · source
— Added a question about Meta's narrower published ranges (-6.00 to +4.00 and -6.00 to +6.00). Lensology now publishes its lens options, so only its cylinder limits remain to confirm. · source

— Vision Express no longer publishes its −6.00 to +6.00 range. Meta's UK prescription-lenses guide gives -6.00 to +6.00 for Gen 2 without saying sphere or total power. Limits and check date unchanged. · source
— Source changed from a Lensology blog post to Meta's style guide, which gives -6.00 to +4.00 total power. Progressive support set to unknown because that page does not mention progressives. · source
— Reconfirmed −12.00 to +6.00 SPH + CYL, including progressives, on Meta's prescription page and its UK Gen 2 product page. Meta's help centre gives the same figure as total power and names Ray-Ban.com and certified retailers for UK orders. · source

— Added a UK route and cost comparison. Removed the unverified £139 lens surcharge; a complete prescription price needs a current provider quote. Existing power limits and their dates are unchanged. · source
