Oakley Lens - Oakley Lenses

Protection against ultraviolet light has little to do with the color of the lens. The protection is designed into Oakley's Plutonite® lens material, so full UV filtering is a standard feature with all Oakley lenses, no matter what the shade. Even clear Oakley lenses block 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and dangerous blue light. The raked-back curvature of Oakley sunglasses allows additional protection by blocking UV from the periphery.

When light enters through a sunglass lens, some wavelengths are reflected by the surface and others are absorbed by the lens itself. The light that actually reaches your eye is a measure of the lens transmission level. With Oakley's wide range of optional lens shades, you can decide to have as little as 9% of light reach your eye, or as much as 93%.

POLARIZATION
A performance gain in sports, polarization shields the retina from glare. Oakley dismissed the industry standards and invented an injection molding process that infuses the lens material around the intricated polarizer. This protects the filter, minimizes distortion, and maximizes visual sharpness.

Polarized Oakley eyewear benefits from the UV and impact protection of Plutonite lens material, the glare reduction and contrast enhancement of Iridium lens coatings, and the wide-angle clarity of XYZ Optics.

XYZ OPTICS
This breakthrough technology permits dual-spherical lenses to transmit light waves with unmatched integrity. By providing correction along three axes--not just two--XYZ Optics™ ensures clarity over the full angular range while minimizing distortion caused by refraction. It allows for wrapped, raked-back configurations that maximize peripheral vision and protection against sun, wind, and side impact.
