I was riding my bicycle the other day taking pictures, talking on the phone and sending and receiving texts without ever taking my hands off the handle bars. All this is possible because I was wearing a pair of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which is the second generation of glasses from the partnership of the dominant players in both eye-wear and social media. Ray-Ban is owned by EssilorLuxottica, which is, by far, the world’s biggest eye-wear maker.

My glasses were provided to me by Meta, which is a supporter of ConnectSafely, the nonprofit internet safety organization where I serve as CEO. I have a prescription pair, whose price depends on what lenses you get. Frames for prescription lenses cost $200. The smart glasses with clear or sunglass lenses cost $329. You can also get them with non-prescription transition lenses that darken in sunlight for $379.
