Which smart glasses have no camera?
Some people want the display, the audio or the prescription lenses without a camera on their face — for a workplace, a gym, a school, or simply by preference. This is what each manufacturer publishes about its own hardware, with the page it came from and the date we read it.
Short answer. 20 of the 41 records here have no camera at all, and 1 covers products that differ from each other — 22 named products in total that you can buy without a camera. 17 of the 20 camera-free records are on sale in the UK today. Check whether they take your prescription.
Updated 29 October 2026: six more camera-free models are in the checker, including Reebok Optical powered by Lucyd, Lucyd Aero and the Xreal xbx a01+, and Ray-Ban Meta Audio is now on sale.

A clip-on module is not a built-in camera
4 of these models have no camera in the frame but sell a detachable camera accessory separately. The table records the device as sold: a pair that ships without a camera is listed as having none, with the add-on noted beside it. If a camera-free frame is the point, that distinction matters more than the spec sheet suggests — the hardware only appears if someone chooses to attach it.
Where there is a camera, can people around you tell?
15 of the camera-equipped models publish a capture light that signals recording to the people nearby, and 6 publish no statement either way. We record a capture light only where the maker says it signals capture. A "notification LED" that the manufacturer never connects to recording is listed as not published rather than counted as one, because those are different promises.
Display glasses and camera glasses are usually different products
The pattern in the table is not a coincidence. Models built around a display or a heads-up view tend to carry no camera, while models built around capture and an assistant tend to carry one and little else. If you want a screen without a lens pointed outward, that is the half of the category to look at — and several of those models take the widest prescriptions here.
Per-model detail, every prescription route and its source are on each model page. Related: astigmatism and cylinder limits, varifocal support and how strong a prescription each model takes.
