Oakley Prizm Lens Gids

The Oakley Prizm lenses are key to contrast enhancement. So feel free to see Prizm as a synonym for a better vision. Each lens featuring Oakley’s latest and groundbreaking Prizm technology guarantees an ultra-clear viewing experience! In this article you get a clear overview. Which lenses are available? In upcoming articles, we’ll take a closer look at the properties of each of these lenses.

Oakley divided the Prizm technology into three main pillars.

1. Sport
2. Snow
3. Everyday

Sport

The most extreme form of contrast enhancement can be found with the sport-specific Prizm lenses. The R&D team at Foothill Ranche has spent more than 10 years developing this technology. An investigation has been carried out into which light rays are best allowed to pass in order to guarantee an increase in contrast. Based on these results, the following lenses have been developed.

Depending on the sport, the Prizm lens differs in tint and light transmission. Following sport specific lenses exist:

As you can see Prizm Snow got its own category. With the Snow Goggles, a distinction was made between lens tint and light transmission. Anyone who has ever gone skiing or snowboarding has noticed that the weather can change quickly in the mountains. You can sometimes encounter all seasons in 1 day, and that is why we specifically discussed the different types of weather.

The different lenses that exist in the Prizm Snow category:

• Prizm HI Pink Iridium
