Common Questions

It depends on the model and whether you add a prescription:

  • HSTN with prescription lenses — Yes. If you choose the HSTN model and have a valid prescription, you can use your vision insurance to cover part or all of the cost of the lenses. Just bring your insurance details and current Rx when you order.
  • Vanguard as we sell it — No. We sell the Vanguard with Oakley Prizm plano (non-Rx) lenses, so vision insurance cannot be applied. Prescription lenses: Meta says the Vanguard is available with Rx through participating certified retailers — ask us whether we can fit your prescription.
  • HSTN without prescription — No. If you order the HSTN with standard plano lenses (no Rx), insurance would not apply since no prescription lenses are being fitted.

Have questions about your specific plan? Call us at (780) 490-0090 — we're happy to check your coverage.

It depends on the model:

  • HSTN — Yes, prescription available. The HSTN model supports Rx lenses. Our team at Charm Optical will install your prescription lenses at our Edmonton lab.
  • Vanguard — through participating certified retailers. Meta says the Oakley Meta Vanguard is available with prescription lenses at participating certified retailers. We sell it with Oakley Prizm plano (non-Rx) lenses — ask us whether we can fit your prescription.

What to know about Rx orders (HSTN):

  • We receive the product factory-sealed from Oakley, then open it at our lab to install your prescription lenses and inspect the fit. Your glasses arrive professionally fitted by a licensed optician, ready to wear — so the box won't be factory-sealed.
  • If you order without prescription (plano lenses), your glasses will be mailed to you factory-sealed, exactly as Oakley ships them.

Oakley Meta smart glasses are a special order item. Most orders arrive within 2–3 weeks, though as a hot item the turnover time is an estimate and can change without notice as inventory moves quickly. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.

You'll need a compatible smartphone (iOS 14.4+ or Android 10+), wireless internet, a Meta account, and the Meta AI app. The glasses pair via Bluetooth 5.3 and use Wi-Fi 6E for fast transfers.

Both models share the same core smart features (camera, speakers, Meta AI). The Vanguard runs longer (up to 9 hours vs 8 on the HSTN) and is rated IP67 for dust and water (HSTN: IPX4). The other difference is the frame style: Vanguard is a bold, angular sport wrap designed for active use. HSTN is a street-sport hybrid with a rounder, more casual silhouette. Choose based on your style and face shape.

Each pair comes with a charging case and cleaning cloth. To reduce waste, Oakley ships without a USB-C cable — any standard USB-C cable will work for charging the case.

Your prescription may be expired
The date you entered is over 2 year(s) old. In Canada, prescriptions expire after this time.

We strongly recommend getting a fresh eye exam before ordering. An outdated prescription can cause headaches, blurry vision, and eye strain.
