Smart Glasses

Let's go!

With the click of a button, or hands-free voice command, the Ray-Ban Stories can take 30-second videos and up to 500 high-definition photos from your direct point-of-view, without the need to pull out a phone. Linking to the Facebook View app via your smartphone, videos and photos can be shared directly to multiple social media platforms, downloaded to your phone or stored encrypted on the glasses. You can also listen to music and podcasts or take a call without missing a step.

Your smart glasses can be fitted with prescription ophthalmic lenses or sunglass lenses and, weighing just 5g more than a standard Ray-Ban frame, offer great comfort and style for all-day wear.

The Ray-Ban Stories are available in three timeless Ray-Ban shapes:

  • The classic 1950’s Wayfarer
  • The retro Round
  • The iconic Meteor

If you are looking for the latest in wearable technology to simplify your life, visit your nearest branch where a member of our knowledgeable team can give you a smart glasses demo.

What is the cost of smart glasses?

The Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses cost £299. This places them at a price point comparable to many of the premium designer lenses and frames on the market that are without the tech features.

What do smart glasses look like?

We stock the full range of Ray-Ban Stories frames, providing a variety of combinations to suit your individuality. This includes three iconic styles, Wayfarer, Round and Meteor, and three colours, black, blue and brown.

The integrated technology is very subtle so that they look great regardless of the tech features.

How do smart glasses work?

The technology included in the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses is all integrated within the frame, giving you stylish and comfortable eyewear to enjoy even when the device is switched off.

Buttons on the side of the frame allow you to activate the camera. Tap to start recording a video or press and hold to take a photo. Further controls on the frame allow you to play music or podcasts, take calls and adjust the volume. The smart glasses also offer a hands-free experience, using voice activation such as ‘Hey Facebook, take a video’.

Two small cameras are located subtly to the side of the eye lenses and unobtrusive speakers are positioned behind your ears. There is also an LED light on the front of the glasses to let other people know when the glasses are on and when you are taking a photo or video.

A charging case is provided with the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses to charge your glasses and keep them safe.

Happy clients

Really happy with my new glasses. Big thanks to Joseph for all the help and advice. After visiting many other opticians in the area, I can safely say the service at Spectacular Optcians was second to none. I’ll definitely be back again!

Oliver Strong, Ely

This is a great local opticians with lovely, friendly service that I highly recommend.

My children have been having their eyes tested and their glasses and contact lenses fitted here for over 10 years and we've always been treated very well.
The children enjoy their visits and have always managed to find fashionable frames at an affordable price, helped by Debbie’s great advice about choosing frames.

Stuart Browse, Ely

Amazing opticians - I’m really happy with the service I was given. The optician was so knowledgeable and patient and the reception staff were friendly. I love my new glasses!

Julie Cottee, Chatteris

I would like to express my huge gratitude to Stuart who very kindly saw me as an emergency appointment on Tuesday. I was very worried about an issue with my eye sight, so he took time to thoroughly examine it and explain in detail what the issue was. He was so reassuring and it saved me a visit to hospital A and E dept. We are very fortunate to have such a patient focused opticians in our village. Thank you also to the receptionist for ensuring I was given a same day appointment.

Sandra Papworth, Waterbeach

I have had ongoing issues with retinal detachment which have required many hospital visits, and also many visits to Spectacular Opticians. Stuart at Waterbeach has been unfailing helpful and supportive, always happy to spend the time to talk things through and perform extra tests as needed. It is great to have such continuity of care in an age where this is increasingly uncommon: Stuart knows exactly where things stand with my eyes, so each time I go we can just pick up where we left off. Outstanding treatment.

Prof Richard Holton, University of Cambridge

I would like to thank Spectacular Opticians for their professional approach and the ongoing support that they have given me over the last few years. I was having constant problems with my eye sight, until I received a very thorough sight test from one of their Optometrists, and now I can live and work in extreme comfort.

Daphne Gilby, Chatteris

I would truly recommend spectacular in March. Susan on reception is very friendly and helpful. My optometrist John explained everything I needed in my new varifocal glasses so it made total sense, making me feel at ease. I am extremely thankful to Natasha, who helped me compare the different varifocal lenses and frames available and the costs of each so there was no shock when I got to the total bill. When I put my new glasses on, it was immediately so easy to see out of them.

Zoe Mason, March

After previously using a big chain, I tried Spectacular Opticians and what a difference! I was treated like a person and my eye test was done properly. I found out my prescription was wrong and now with new glasses I can see properly. Brilliant!

5

Therese West, March

Really great service every time we visit Histon Opticians.
The knowledge of the staff team is absolutely amazing. They recognised that my recent troubles feeling tired and struggling to focus were due to needing prism lenses. They were really helpful in helping me choose frames too when there’s such a wonderful range to choose from!

5

Jo Franklin, Histon

Spectacular Opticians is so friendly and attentive. They picked up on a slight alignment issue which has now ridden me of migraines and constant eye strain! There is also a fab range of frames to choose from!

5

Lex Green, Histon

This is a great local business. I got an appointment quickly (plus received reminder text messages) and my new glasses arrived within roughly a week. Brilliantly efficient service - can thoroughly recommend.

5

Claire Saville, Waterbeach

I visited Spectacular Opticians to get a small replacement part for my glasses. The staff were incredibly friendly and sorted it immediately. Excellent customer experience, I would highly recommend.

5

John Hennessy, Downham Market

When my glasses broke and I was walking around everywhere in sunglasses, the lovely receptionist at Spectacular managed to book me in last minute. I hadn’t been for over ten years, but they still had all my details on file! The service provided was absolutely impeccable from all staff who went above and beyond to make sure I received the best care during and after my visit. They even managed to get my glasses ready for the same afternoon. Highly recommended and truly appreciated, thank you.

Daryl Willis-Sprules, Downham Market

I’ve appreciated the wonderful kind and thorough care from Spectacular for 15 years, but today Tracy surpassed my expectations. The rim of my glasses broke and it was near to closing time before a bank holiday when I called the Newmarket practice. By the time I arrived, Tracy had found an identical replacement from old stock and was able to transfer my lenses. I’d expected several weeks without glasses followed by the cost of a new pair, but Tracy was reluctant to charge anything.

Varoise Ampersand, Newmarket

This family-owned business places special emphasis on customer service and friendliness. Appointments never feel rushed and I really like the personal touch.
My whole family have their eyes tested here now.
