What to look for in Oakley Sunglasses

Before we get into the frame breakdown, there are a few key features to consider when choosing the right Oakley sunglasses to meet your specific needs. Familiarizing yourself with these makes choosing your sunglasses much easier.


Oakley Prescription Capabilities

Here at SportRx we love to highlight prescription-friendly frames so you can get more enjoyment out of the activities that you love. If you have a tough Rx and are curious as to whether it will work in a given frame, contact one of our certified opticians to find out.


PRIZM™ Lens Technology

When it comes to contrast enhancement, PRIZM™ is second to none. The lenses have specific dyes that filter out unwanted light wavelengths, while boosting the colors your eyes are more sensitive to. The result is increased vividness and clarity of the details in your environment. With multiple options for everyday and sport use, PRIZM has you covered no matter what you are getting into. And the best part is they are available with prescription! Check out our PRIZM™ Guide to learn more about this cutting-edge lens technology.


Unobtanium™ Grip

Unobtainium™ is Oakley's proprietary grip material. This grip gets stickier and tackier the more you sweat, making it the best teammate for your sport and activities.


O Matter™ Frame Material

When you invest in Oakley, you don’t have to worry about the durability of your sunglasses. All of the sunglasses in this guide are constructed of O Matter™. This proprietary frame material makes the frame lightweight and impact-resistant. Top athletes across the globe depend on O Matter to withstand their rigorous training.

Now that you know what to look for, let's get into the best Oakley sunglasses!
