Hi Donna,
All of the styles have the same features regardless of whether the glasses have 
clear or tinted lenses. Meta sees through the camera, located on the left side 
of the frames, not the lenses. I didn't need the transition lenses, the ones 
that are clear indoors and get darker out in the sun (and are more expensive), 
because I have no vision and no sensitivity to light. The salesperson at the 
Ray-Ban store where I made the purchase was very friendly, so I asked her which 
color frames and lenses would look best on me and bought those.

Subject: Re: Question for those of you who use Ray-ban Meta smart glasses

Hello all:
If one is not concerned about tinted or clear (does not have any functional 
vision), are all of the Meta Ray-Ban styles available with the same features? 
Do tinted lenses impact what and how Meta sees, or the quality of photos or 
video? Is anyone able to comment on this, or provide resources?
I did some Googling and research through Chat GPT, and I'm still not 
comfortable that I have the latest, most accurate information.
TIA
Christine
