OAKLEY SUNGLASSES - AVAILABLE WITH OAKLEY PRESCRIPTION LENSES

Oakley Sunglasses

The Oakley Sunglasses brand constantly pushes the boundaries of sunglasses in the UK. A major breakthrough came with their patented HDO (High Definition Optics), a process that produces distortion free wrap around lenses for all of their sunglasses. The result, every pair of Oakley shades delivers perfect vision at any angle. Prescription glasses wearers will be pleased to know Oakley sunglasses are available with Oakley prescription lenses using the same technology (see section on Oakley prescription sunglasses below)

Why is this important? Every sports person requires good peripheral vision, golf players will use the bottom part of the lenses for driving and putting whilst cycling enthusiasts will keep an eye on the terrain using the peripheral lower edges the lenses. What Oakley sunglasses ensure is that whenever your line of sight moves away from the centre of the lens your vision is still maintained with no distortion, something cheaper shades don’t do as they incorporate distortion and can even make objects appear as though they’ve moved when the reality is they haven’t!

Oakley sunglasses are a sports eyewear essential, setting the standards in sports glasses for other manufacturers to follow.

The advantages of Oakley Sunglasses soon became noticed by the designer sunglasses market, and as a result Oakley has developed fashionable lifestyle sunglasses to sit along side their sports glasses, check out Oakley uniquely Women sunglasses and Oakley wires.

Oakley prescription sunglasses

The concept for Oakley prescription sunglasses is simple, you get all the benefits of the non prescription shades added with your prescription. This means their patented HDO ensures any distortion normally associated with wrap around prescription sports glasses is neutralised giving you great peripheral vision. Oakley prescription lenses are made on an 8-base curve (wrap around lenses) so the shape and feel of the frame is maintained. Almost every frame is available directly from Oakley as prescription sunglasses, with some of the sports specific sunglasses allowing you to buy different coloured lenses in prescription and interchange them in the same frame, Flak Jacket, Flack Jacket XLJ, New Jawbone, Radar.

For prescription sunglasses there are some great lenses to keep in mind, VR28 Black Iridium, VR28 Black Iridium Polarised (worn by all the extreme eyewear team!), Gold Iridium, Gold Iridium Polairsed, and Bronze Polairsed. All these prescription lenses provide great contrast in low light and protection from glare on bright days, enabling good vision in a wide variety of light conditions.

You will find leading athletes supporting the Oakley brand such as Pro Skier Grete Eliassen and Lance Armstrong. Limited Edition Oakley Sunglasses are even released in their honor and to celebrate their achievements, with money from sales going to good causes. Limited editions are available in prescription.
