AI glasses have entered their grown-up era and Grande Prairie has been waiting for a clinic to bring them in thoughtfully, with proper guidance and prescription expertise. If you’ve been eyeing the new generation of wearable tech everyone’s buzzing about, you’re going to love what’s happening here at Aurora Eye Care.
We now carry select models of Ray-Ban Wayfarer Glasses (Gen 1) and the Oakley Meta HSTN (Gen 2), and they’re even better in person than they look online. Oakley’s HSTN model brings that sculpted, athletic edge, while Ray-Ban keeps things clean, iconic, and instantly familiar. And because we’re an eye care clinic first, we also offer something most tech retailers don’t—prescription Meta AI glasses, custom ordering, in-person fittings, and real support when you need it.
If you’ve been curious about wearable technology or are thinking about a gift for someone who loves something stylish and future-forward, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about finding Meta AI glasses in Grande Prairie, how to choose the right pair, and why visiting an optometrist makes all the difference.

What Are Meta AI Glasses? Next-Generation Eyewear Explained.
Smart glasses have evolved far beyond the early-day prototypes. Today’s Meta AI glasses combine the familiarity of classic frames with intelligent features that feel surprisingly intuitive in day-to-day life.
At their core, AI glasses allow you to:
- Capture photos and videos hands-free
- Livestream directly to Instagram or Facebook
- Listen to audio through open-ear speakers
- Use voice-activated assistance with “Hey Meta…”
- Translate languages in real time
- Stay connected without constantly pulling out your phone
The best part? You get all of this in frames that look and feel like usual, stylish eyewear—not bulky gadgets.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer Glasses (Gen 1) focuses on a classic lifestyle look, while Oakley’s Meta HSTN (Gen 2) leans into sport-friendly performance. Both include Ultra-Wide 12MP cameras, built-in microphones, smooth touchpad controls, and impressive battery life, depending on the model.
AI glasses can be a perfect fit for photographers, parents recording moments hands-free, outdoor enthusiasts, travellers, content creators, and anyone who wants to streamline their everyday tech without adding another device to their pocket.

Prescription Lenses for Your Meta AI Glasses
This is one of the most significant gaps in the market and where Aurora Eye Care shines.
AI glasses aren’t just tech. They’re eyewear. Which means getting the prescription right matters.
We offer two options:
1. Custom Order Your Meta Glasses with Prescription Lenses
If you know the style you want, we’ll order it directly from Oakley with your exact prescription. You’ll get:
- Proper optical alignment
- Guaranteed lens quality
- Multiple lens options (clear, sun, Transitions)
- Access to the full catalogue of styles and colours
2. Add Prescription Lenses to Meta AI Glasses You Already Own
This is a unique service in Northern Alberta.
If you bought Meta AI glasses elsewhere (even online) and now need prescription lenses, we can help. We’ll evaluate your current glasses, walk through your prescription, and fit lenses that allow you to actually use your AI glasses in daily life.
Our prescription ranges typically fall between -6.00 and +4.00, and we also offer a 60-day prescription change policy for extra peace of mind.
Your AI glasses should work for you, not the other way around.

Why Fit Matters: Meta AI Glasses Are NOT Adjustable
This is something almost nobody online is talking about, and it’s a critical detail.
Meta AI glasses cannot be adjusted.
Unlike traditional eyewear, Meta frames contain embedded technology in the arms and bridge. Heating, bending, or adjusting them can cause irreversible damage or void the warranty.
This means:
- What you buy must fit correctly from the start
- In-person try-on is strongly recommended
- Bridge fit, temple length, and frame width truly matter
- Online ordering can lead to costly mistakes
We’re transparent because we care and because we want you to love what you bring home.
Visiting an eye doctor ensures you’re set up for comfort, function, and long-term use. Once you purchase them, they remain in their original fit, which is why careful selection matters.

AI Glasses vs AR Glasses: Understanding the Difference
It’s easy to mix these up, especially with all the new tech terms floating around.
AI glasses (like Meta)
- Looks like normal glasses
- Add convenience features: camera, audio, AI assistance
- Great for everyday life
Augmented Reality (AR) glasses
- Overlay digital information onto your field of view
- Bulkier, more immersive
- Not designed for daily wear yet
Meta AI glasses are meant to blend into your wardrobe, not replace your reality.
