Who each is for

Ray-Ban Meta class — everyday style, street / lifestyle capture, classic shapes (Wayfarer, Aviator, Zena, and Optics styles such as Blayzer/Scriber where offered).
Oakley Meta HSTN — sportier cues, Prizm / Transitions lens stories, activity sharing hooks (maker marketing mentions Garmin/Strava-style overlays). Same Meta AI family.

Oakley Meta is listed among products that support Rx ordering — confirm the live range for HSTN (or Vanguard, if considering wrap styles) with Meta/Oakley before glazing.
