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:

Prizm Road

Snow

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
  • Prizm Persimmon
  • Prizm Rose
  • Prizm Sapphire Iridium
  • Prizm Jade Iridium
  • Prizm Torch Iridium
  • Prizm Dark Grey
  • Prizm Black Iridium

Everyday

Allround contrast-enhancing lenses in this category. The lens tints are less pronounced as in the Sport Specific Prizm lenses, but still increase contrast. So are you looking for sunglasses for driving, or just eyeglasses with excellent optical qualities? Then definitely choose sunglasses with Prizm Technology!
