Short answer: every Ray-Ban Meta generation takes prescription lenses. Officially you order them through Meta.com, Ray-Ban.com or a certified retailer. Independent labs also make them, starting at from $47 for single vision.
Range: Meta's help center says −12.00 to +6.00 total power (Gen 3 Aviator: −6.00 to +4.00). Meta's Store guide says −6.00 to +6.00 for Gen 2 and the Optics frames. Why the figures differ.

Warranty: certified retailer or independent lab
Ray-Ban's US FAQ says you can have prescription lenses added by any optician, "but the manufacturer warranty will only remain intact if you get prescription lenses added at a certified retailer". Independent labs are usually cheaper and some go beyond Meta's published limits, so weigh the price difference against the warranty.
Independent labs and which generations they list
Sorted by published starting price for single-vision lenses. "Says Ray-Ban Meta" means the lab mentions Ray-Ban Meta without naming generations, so confirm before ordering.
