Key Points

Revenue from sales of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses more than tripled year over year, EssilorLuxottica revealed Monday as part of the company's most recent earnings report.

EssilorLuxottica said the success of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses contributed to its first-half overall sales of 14.02 billion euro (US$16.25 billion), which represents a 7.3% year-over-year jump.

CNBC reported in June that Meta and Luxottica plan to debut a Prada-branded version of its smart glasses in the future.
