Two costs sit outside the sticker. Prescription lenses are priced on top for most frames; see prescription options. And press reports put a replacement Neural Band at $199 through customer support. For a cheaper pick, see our budget picks. Meta also runs a refurbished store for AI glasses, which is worth checking before paying full price.
Related questions
Are prescription lenses included in the price?
Not for Optics Gen 2, where Ray-Ban prices lenses separately. For other frames, prescription pairs are ordered as complete glasses and priced by the retailer.
Is the Neural Band sold separately?
It comes with Meta Ray-Ban Display. Press reports say a replacement band costs $199 through customer support; Meta's store page did not show a standalone price we could read.
