Oakley PRIZM Lens Technology has paved the way for sport performance eyewear. PRIZM exists in three distinct categories; PRIZM Sport, PRIZM Everyday, and PRIZM Snow. PRIZM Sport lenses are built specifically for a handful of sports including baseball, golf, mountain biking, cycling, and fishing. And when I say specific I mean it. Oakley engineers measured the visible light spectrum in these sport environments to determine how they could build a lens that would outperform the rest by making the details easier to see. As an athlete, wearing Oakley PRIZM lenses is almost an unfair advantage. Through contrast enhancement and increased optical clarity, Oakley PRIZM Sport lenses can actually help you improve your athletic performance. Learn more about each PRIZM lens in the guide below.

*VLT-visible light transmission is the amount of light that passes through the lens to your eye. For example, a darker tint lens will have a lower VLT percentage and a lighter tint lens will have a higher VLT percentage.


 

PRIZM Road, Road Jade & Road Black

PRIZM Road lenses will enable you to see all the details and changes of the road surface or trail you are riding on, as well as enhancing the blues and greens of their path for a more enjoyable ride. As great as the PRIZM Road lens is, Oakley saw an opportunity to bring something new to the market by identifying every possible need for a cyclist. PRIZM Road Black is designed specifically for the sunny road environment, allowing less light through the lens to your eyes.

Both of these water-specific lenses have been enhanced with HDPolarized filtering to block 99% of reflected glare, leaving out distortion. So whether you're a deep sea fisherman or a stream fisher, there is a pair of Oakley PRIZM Fishing Sunglasses for you.
