Oakley Prizm lenses buyer’s guide
All Oakley sunglasses meet the highest standards of quality and safety, as the brand has a partnership with the US army, which is very demanding in terms of lens, visual clarity and impact resistance. The same level of quality and craftsmanship can be found of all snow goggles and sunglasses lenses. When it comes to sunnies, you’ll find a wide range of lenses for all types of sports and environments. Prizm technology, was developed by Oakley to provide a lens for every activity.
Here is a chart presenting all Prizm lenses, which can be classified in two categories: the ones designed for a specific sport, and the ones more versatile, for all conditions.
The light transmission levels and lens categories of the Prizm range are as follow: most of the Prizm line is category 3 and the Prizm Road, Trail et Golf lenses are category 2.
All Oakley lenses are made of polycarbonate, a material that is lighter and stronger than glass. They can be used as such with their base tint or be enhanced with the following options: iridium, polarisation, photochromy or Prizm technology. Iridium is a mirror filter that reduces the amount of light and improves the versatility. Polarisation removes reflections and limits glare on highly reverberating surfaces such as snow or water.
In addition to these options, photochromy or Prizm technology can be added. Prizm technology was first developed for snow goggles lenses for its resistance to the cold and versatility in unsettled weather conditions. Today, Prizm is featured on 80% of Oakley sunglasses. To sum it up, Prizm technology boosts or filters some colours of the light spectrum, which enhances colours and contrasts in uniform environments. Their versatility allows to quickly go from shade to light, as during a trail run in the forest, for example, with short sections in bright clearings. On golf courses, Prizm enhances the shades of green. On the road, it improves your perception of tarmac and its irregularities. For water sports, polarisation is added to Prizm, as reverberation is always strong on water. Finally, for daily use, the Daily Prizm lens is a good option, which works well for driving too.
The 4 Prizm lenses for sports:
Oakley Prizm TRAIL lens:
With Prizm Trail lenses, shades of red and brown are optimised for your trail running or mountain biking sessions in forests. This lens is also great on mountaineering sunglasses.

Oakley Prizm Daily Polarized lens:
Finally, the most versatile PRIZM lenses, for recreational sports, all ofeering category 3 protection. Thanks to the Prizm Daily polarised lenses, tame colours are brighter, contrasts are enhanced, and you enjoy a more pleasant and relaxing visual experience. Ideal for your day-to-day activities, available on lifestyle models for example.
When to Replace Sunglasses for Men, Women, or Children?
Knowing when to replace your sunglasses is crucial to ensure optimal protection of your eyes against the harmful rays of the sun. Scratches or damage to the lenses can not only impair your vision but also decrease the effectiveness of UV protection, thus jeopardizing the health of your eyes when exposed to UVA and UVB rays. Over time, this protection can weaken, especially if your sunglasses have been frequently exposed to the sun. Additionally, wear on the frame or hinges can make your sunglasses uncomfortable and less able to adequately protect your eyes.
Changes in your activities, such as taking up new sports or hobbies that require specific protection, like polarised sunglasses for fishing, may also necessitate purchasing new sunglasses. While there is no precise rule on how often you should replace your sunglasses, it is recommended to have them regularly checked by a professional. This ensures that they still provide the necessary protection and that they meet your current visual needs. Taking care of your eyes with the right sunglasses is an investment in your long-term health.
