New Oakley True Digital Prescription Technology

As ever, Oakley never stop improving their prescription lens technology, which has resulted in the development of the Oakley True Digital (OTD) prescription lenses. These incorporate the latest FreeForm lens technology. Whether you are a professional athlete or sports enthusiast, the new OTD prescription lenses will provide the best possible vision and maximise performance in any high-wrap Oakley frame.

Oakley True Digital considers the patient's unique prescription, lens curve and frame shape to optimise the lens' prescription from the optical centre to the edge. It provides the clearest possible vision from the centre through to the mid and far periphery.

Whist sharp, straight-ahead vision is essential for athletes, sports such as running, cycling or basketball are highly dependant on peripheral vision to sense objects, opponets and motion. Peripheral vision is used for organising the broad spatial scene, making split-second decisions that can make all the difference in winning or losing. Ordinary wrap prescription sunglasses can blur and distort the peripheral vision which forces athletes to turn their head and potentially "take their eye off the ball". A cyclist, for example, must stay focused on the road ahead whilst maintaining an awareness of competitors looking to over-take.

OTD prescription lenses is an optional upgrade on all Oakley prescription sunglasses.

Oakley make corrective lenses by mapping light rays in a 3D grid to precisely match the optics to your prescription, maximizing your vision at every angle of view.

Oakley Prescription Sunglasses in detail . . .

Oakley is the leading manufacturer of sports sunglasses. End of story. Oakley prescription sunglasses are renowned for their HDO (High Definition Optics). This little bit of science enables you to have maximum clarity whilst being protected from harmful ultra violet (UV) rays.

Oakley Eyewear Technology

High Definition Optics (HDO)

Proprietary geometries, high performance materials and state of the art design and production techniques allow Oakley to create sunglasses that maintains optical correction for refractive power, optical clarity and prismatic power. These three classifications are measured by a global stndard ANSI Z87.1 for optical performance ratings. Oakley is the gold standard and best in class, as evident in Private Pilot'magazine's sunglasses test results comparing all eyewear manufacturers.

Oakley HDPolarized

Oakley HDPolarized technology surpasses industry standard for clarity, performance and durability. Common techniques of incorporating polarisation films into lenses by lamination (using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers) and drop forming (sandwiching then heating and pressing over contoured forms) can cause haziness and optical distortion. Instead, Oakley uses an injection-molding process to infuse the lens material around the filter. The liquid fusion creates bonding at the molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance.

Photochromic / Transitions

Oakley prescription sunglasses are available with photochromic technology to darken and lighten automatically in response to changing light. They help you adapt to changing light. They help you adapt to changing conditions while filtering  out 100% of harmful UV. Not to mention the added visual quality and comfort of having sunglasses that aren't too dark when the sun pulls a disappearing act, or too light when it knifes through the clouds.

Impact Protection

The lens materials and frame geometries of Oakley prescrption sunglasses provide unsurpassed protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. For high-velocity impact testing, a quarter-inch steel shot is blasted froam a pneumatic cannon at 102 mph / 164 kmh. The high-mass impact test uses a metal spike (more than half a pound of weight / half a kilo) dropped from over four feet. The unique combination of wrapped, raked-back lens geometries and durable Plutonite lens material lens material allows Oakley eyewear to exceed the standards of these impact tests, established by the American National Standards Institute.

UV Protection

Oakley prescription sunglasses provide unbeatable protection against the damaging rays of ultraviolet radiation. The Oakley Plutonite lens material inherently blocks 100% UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. The protection is formulated into the lens material, as opposed to a thin surface film that can become scratched, leaving dilated pupils exposed to ultraviolet leaks. Shielding has nothing to with the darkness or colour of the lens, so even clear Oakley lenses provide full protection. The wrapped, raked-back architecture of Oakley sunglasses provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery.

Plutonite Lens Material

Lightweight Plutonite lens material offers superior comfort, clarity and protection against impact and ultraviolet radiation. Maintaining the proven safety charateristics of Oakley prescription sunglasses, the impact-resistant material blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light. Plutonite is the only lens material able to achieve the performance standards required by the digital design and production technologies utilised by Oakley.

Iridium Lens Coatings

Oakley Iridium lens coatings allow the wearer to tune transmission for any light condition. Superheated metallic oxides are fused to the lens at the molecular level, permanently bonding to create a uniform filtering layer that optimises contrast and minimises glare. Tuned to transmit from 9% to 92% of available light, the coatings are specifically formulated for optimal balance between reflection, transmission and absorption, depending on the targeted environment for usage.

Three-Point Fit

Oakley prescription sunglasses are engineered to maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The company's patented Three-Point Fit ensures that each frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose nd behind the temples. This retains optics in perfect alignment and eliminates the discomfort of ordinary frames that hook the ears and mount with unbalanced pressure points. Some earstems are sheathed in Unobtainium, an Oakley innovation that actually increases grip with perspiration.

Frame Composition

Engineering breakthroughs in structural materials allow Oakley to produce lightweight, high performance sunglasses that maintain superior protection and comfort. The polymers in O Matter sunglasses are formulated for high durability, as well as controlled flexibility for improved safety during impact. To produce the ultra-strong, ultra-lightweight chassis of Oakley wire frames, five metallic compounds are fused into a cingle C-5 alloy. Both frame materials maintain resistance to ultraviolet radiation, humidity, thermal shock and chemical exposure.

According to Oakley . . .

If you understand the sweat and sacrifice of the best athletes on Earth, you understand that defiance is part of their lifeblood. They refuse to obey limits, even the limits of possibility. Somewhere between obsession and rebellion, that same fire drives Oakley to create solutions for those who cannot compromise on performance, and nothing is closer to the soul of Oakley.

Authenticity is earned, and Oakley has spent more than three decades fusing innovation, performance and style to earn the respect of the greatest athletes on the planet. Oakley do it by shattering the constraints of conventional ideas and redefining sunglasses by redefining what is physically possible. Oakley is known worldwide as an honest and honourable brand - an icon of performance and a global innovator that elevates physics to the level of art anf sets the benchmark for others to follow.

Oakley has become one of the most sought-after brands on the planet, and world class athletes will always inspire the company to seek out problems, create solutions and deliver the unexpected by erasing the line between form and function. We will challenge the limits of possibility for those who do the same in competition - those who aspire to greatness and those who have earned the right to be called the best on Earth.  

And finally . . .

Oakley prescription sunglasses are also impact resistant against heavy objects at low speeds and lighter objects at high speeds, thanks to their use of Plutonite lens material.

Oakley is recognised as one of the most coveted brands in performance technology and fashion eyewear. The icon is embraced by the global culture of competitors who define their own lifestyle - the world-class athletes who exceed the limits of possibility. In its devotion to these athletes, Oakley does the same.

The Oakley prescription sunglasses range combines technical brilliance, with sheer designer style, function and fit! Oakleys are broken down into different categories depending on what style the frame will adopt! The Lifestyle range embraces contemporary influences and the Square O logo, whilst the Active series incorporates more traditional sporting sunglasses - essentially the glasses people think of when you mention Oakley. The Sports Performance range includes Oakley's athletic beasts, such as Flak Jacket and Jawbone.
