Prescription support: every published route
A route is one way of getting corrected vision in these glasses. Each row is one source; the checker uses the strictest official route for your country first and shows the wider ones as "also possible via". Figures are the manufacturer's or named partner's published limits, not our estimate.

-6.00 to +4.00 is Ray-Ban's stated direct-glazing limit as quoted by Lensology and VisionXO. UNRESOLVED: Meta Help (https://www.meta.com/help/ai-glasses/864660648356621/) states -12.00 to +6.00 total power for Ray-Ban Meta without a model qualifier; most plausible reading is that the wider range is via certified optical retailers with high-index lenses.

Lensology publishes no numeric SPH limit ('bespoke to your exact prescription'); 'strong' defined as SPH ≥ +6.00. CYL ±4.00 figure from The Glasses Guys (https://www.theglassesguys.co.uk/blog/ray-ban-meta-prescription-lenses-uk). Prism handled outside Ray-Ban limits.
This tool checks whether your prescription falls inside the range each manufacturer publishes. It is not optical advice and does not replace a dispensing optician. UK law requires that spectacles for anyone under 16, or anyone registered sight impaired or severely sight impaired, are dispensed by or under the supervision of a registered practitioner, and that prescriptions are less than two years old.
