Oakley Meta HSTN — Oakley's round HSTN frame with a Meta camera, open-ear speakers and Meta AI built in, dispensed and fitted by the optometrists and dispensing opticians at Rose Optometry, Hamilton.
Oakley attitude. Meta brains.
HSTN (say "Houston") is the everyday Oakley Meta: a rounded acetate frame you can wear to the café, the golf course or the sideline. Capture a moment, take a call, play music or ask Meta AI a question — hands free, phone in your pocket.
What they do
-
12 MP ultra-wide camera for hands-free photos and 3K video, with a visible capture light
-
Open-ear speakers for music, podcasts and calls — nothing in your ears, so you still hear the world around you
-
Five-microphone array and Meta AI — "Hey Meta" for questions, messages, calls and live translation
-
Up to 8 hours of typical use on a charge, up to 48 more hours from the charging case
-
IPX4 water resistance — sweat and splash proof, not for swimming
-
Prizm and Transitions lens options — Oakley's sport-tuned lens tints, or light-adaptive lenses for indoors and out
Colours and lenses
Choose your frame and lens above. Prizm Black, Ruby and Deep Water are finished sun lenses (Black and Deep Water polarised); Prizm Dark Golf is tuned for reading the green; the Transitions options (Amethyst, Grey, Brown) go clear indoors and tint outdoors; Polished Black / Clear is the everyday clear-lens option.
Yes — they take your prescription
HSTN accepts prescription lenses from -6.00 to +4.00 total power (single vision or progressive, clear, tinted or Transitions). Our optometrists check your script against that range before you commit and will tell you plainly if it can't be made up. Prescription lenses are quoted separately.
What's included, and what costs extra
The price shown covers the glasses with the lens shown, the charging case and the cable. Prescription lenses and any lens changes are quoted separately before you commit.
Why buy them from an optometrist
These aren't an ordinary pair of sunglasses, and they shouldn't be posted out like a phone case. The electronics sit in the temples, the weight sits differently on your face, and the fit decides whether the open-ear audio and the camera framing actually work for you.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Oakley Meta HSTN and Oakley Meta Vanguard?
HSTN is a round everyday frame that takes a prescription and comes in Prizm or Transitions lenses. Vanguard is a wraparound sports shield with the camera on the bridge, longer battery, IP67 rating and Garmin/Strava integration — built for running, cycling and snow, and not prescription-glazeable.
What's the difference between Oakley Meta HSTN and Ray-Ban Meta?
Same Meta camera, audio and AI platform in an Oakley frame with Oakley Prizm lens options and a sportier fit. Ray-Ban Meta gives you the classic Wayfarer, Aviator and Zena shapes.
Can I get Oakley Meta HSTN with prescription lenses in New Zealand?
Yes, within -6.00 to +4.00 total power. Book a fitting and we'll measure you on the frame and quote the lenses.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 8 hours of typical mixed use on a single charge, with up to 48 more hours from the charging case. Continuous video or music drains it faster.
Are they waterproof?
IPX4 — sweat and splash resistant. Not for swimming or heavy rain. If you need more, look at Vanguard (IP67).
Can they record without people knowing?
No. A capture light on the frame turns on whenever the camera is recording, and the glasses will not take photos or video if that light is covered, tampered with or damaged.
Which phones work with Oakley Meta?
iOS and Android phones running the Meta AI app. They connect over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi; we set the app up with you before you leave.
Do I have to buy in person, or can you ship them?
Both. We ship nationwide by tracked, insured courier with signature on delivery. We recommend a fitting at 38 Lake Road, Frankton, so we can adjust the frame and set up the app.
Is there an age limit?
We sell camera glasses to adults 18 and over only, and every pair's serial number is recorded against the buyer under our terms and conditions.
Is Rose Optometry an authorised Oakley Meta stockist?
Yes. Rose Optometry is an authorised EssilorLuxottica stockist in New Zealand, with genuine NZ stock and local warranty support.
