Do the Skyler glasses need a phone?

Yes. They pair over Bluetooth with the Meta View app on a compatible phone, which handles setup, photo transfer and AI features.

Can I use them without a prescription?

The Skyler comes in Ray-Ban frames; whether you get clear lenses or prescription lenses depends on the version you pick.

How do I take photos and video?

You press a capture button on the frame or use voice commands, and the 12 MP camera records from your point of view.

Do they work with iPhone and Android?

They pair with both through the Meta View app, though some AI features depend on the phone and region.

Is the audio private?

No. The open-ear speakers direct sound toward you but can be heard by people close by at higher volumes.

The box contains the glasses and a charging case; check the version for lens type.
