Following the global success of millions of units sold, EssilorLuxottica and Meta continue to advance their partnership in eyewear and wearable technology through expansion into new international markets. The Philippine launch introduces consumers to AI-powered eyewear that combines established designs with Meta’s technology and hands-free capabilities.
Since its global launch, Ray-Ban Meta has become the leading AI glasses in the world and a cultural phenomenon. The collection has helped redefine expectations for eyewear by combining recognizable designs with artificial intelligence and connected features. In the Philippines, the Ray-Ban Meta portfolio will include Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3), available in Wayfarer, Aviator, and Zena styles.
“We are excited to expand the AI glasses category in the Philippines with the launch of Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3), Ray-Ban Meta Optics and Oakley Meta, bringing greater capabilities to everyday experiences. Together with Meta, we are inviting people to experience how they can connect with the world and others more seamlessly and effortlessly, from listening to music, making hands-free calls, live translation and capturing moments without reaching for their phone, to measuring sports performance in real-time. This launch will offer a wide range of AI glasses in Suns and Optical to fit different lifestyles and needs. We encourage everyone to try on a pair and feel the difference,” said Andrea Didone, Commercial Director, Philippines, at EssilorLuxottica.

The collection also offers different lens options and prescription choices. Its selection includes clear and sun lenses, Transitions®, Polarized, and Blue Light Filter options, alongside unrestricted prescription choices. The portfolio further expands through the optical-first Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Scriber Optics (Gen 2), providing additional options for prescription eyewear wearers.
Oakley Meta Introduces HSTN and Vanguard Performance AI Glasses
Oakley Meta expands the AI glasses collection with two styles, HSTN and Vanguard. Both models introduce Performance AI glasses designed for movement, endurance, and real-time data. They combine Oakley’s signature design DNA with Meta’s technology, allowing users to share important moments on and off the field while accessing features designed for active use.
Oakley Meta HSTN combines bold aesthetics with technology integrated into its eyewear frames. Its built-in 3K Ultra HD camera allows users to capture photos and videos completely hands-free, while powerful open-ear speakers provide audio without requiring traditional headphones.
The Oakley Meta HSTN also comes with an IPX4 water resistance rating. Selected pairs feature Oakley PRIZM™ Lens technology, an innovation in lens design that enhances vision and amplifies contrast across changing light and weather conditions. These features form part of the model’s combination of eyewear design, camera capabilities, audio, and lens technology.
Oakley Meta Vanguard introduces Athletic Intelligence through a combination of performance-focused features. The model comes equipped with Oakley’s signature PRIZM™ lenses, a powerful 12MP ultra-wide camera with a 122-degree field of view, high-decibel open-ear speakers, and advanced wind noise reduction.
Designed for running, cycling, and outdoor training, Oakley Meta Vanguard incorporates features intended to remove distractions while allowing athletes to stay alert and maintain their focus. Its camera, audio, and wind noise reduction capabilities bring together several functions within a single pair of performance-oriented glasses.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard also features a design optimized for comfort during long workouts. It is compatible with cycling helmets and hats and carries an IP67 water and dust resistance rating. This allows the glasses to handle outdoor conditions, including sun, snow, and demanding terrain.
The model also supports seamless integrations with fitness applications, including Strava and Garmin. These integrations allow athletes to track their performance in real time while using the glasses during their activities.
Both Oakley Meta HSTN and Oakley Meta Vanguard will be available in new combinations of colors and lenses. These options provide multiple customization choices for different preferences and forms of self-expression.
“We’re building personal superintelligence for everyone, and we’re excited to bring that closer to people in the Philippines with our industry-leading AI glasses, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. Millions of people are already using them to listen to music, take hands-free calls, get live translations and capture special moments without having to reach for your phone — with styles for everyone.” said Jerry Bongco, Country Director, at Meta Philippines.
