Tell us what your favorite Oakley PRIZM Polarized lens is!

If I didn’t own a pair of Oakley prizms I would be sceptical that they are as good as the thumbnail picture but they do genuinely make all the colours deeper and richer while significantly reducing the suns glare. I think there brilliant

Your commitment to making relevant Oakley (and other brands) videos is appreciated. Your time has made me so much more informed about my purchases.

I've always used polarized lenses for all situations and never had a problem. Wouldn't trade them for anything now.

I used to work at the Oakley headquarters, foothill ranch more than 20 years ago, that was my first job. I miss those days and and I miss California.

@SportRx you guys are absolutely correct!! 20+ years I was among the last gen of lab workers at a Luxottic store where we still carefully handmade lenses from raw blanks on massive 50’s equipment, so I learned heaps!!
Most polarized lenses are made so sloppy it’s disgusting. Oakley actually does take care to make their polarization precise & be of benefit to the wearer. Half the companies out there just throw it on as an afterthought and it actually does nothing beneficial.

So basically Prizm is an Oakley patent, but polarized is not.

very helpful info. Thank you! i have 2 pair oakley. i bought for my wife a pair and she said WOW my eyes are so relaxed now. awesome!! she had other brands from clothing fashion but when she put Oakley she saw and feel the difference instantly. I did not expect. i just saw videos on youtube about Oakley factory and technology so i believed it should be good.

Love the Oakley prizm experience, they “brighten” my day

Andrew, my man, you're such a great listener and the way you reply (to Rob or any other ambassador on this channel) is always on point!

I’m so happy to see you’re still answering questions on this video.

For a week or so I have been tossing up between Oakley Latch Prizm Black Iridium and Prizm Black Iridium Polarized.

I live in Australia and the sunnies will be for general day to day use such as driving and walking in mostly sunny or overcast weather. I will also be playing golf casually but nothing competitive.

To me, the only time I feel like I would say “wow” with Prizm Polarized is near the water (and maybe clouds?). I will be travelling to Europe which will involve tours near water but I am not a fisherman nor spend much time on the water generally.

So what would you recommend out of these two? I’ve seen varied suggestions when driving as it reduces glare but may not show oil spills etc.

I feel as though there is a stigma that if you don’t have polarised sunglasses then your glasses aren’t great. So I am wondering if I would be disadvantaged in anyway other than glare reduction if I opt for Prizm Iridium Black Oakley Latch over the Polarized counterpart?

Thankyou!!

Awesome video. I wear prizm p holbooks when I'm fishing or out on my kayak, and they work great to get rid of that glare and prevent the migraines I'm so used to getting when out on the water for hours on end. However I never realized why it'd be good to have non-polaroized glasses on hand for some of my other hobbies. So I appreciate the info, thanks guys keep up the informative content

Proper lens technology is very important. I have an astigmatism and strabismus. It’s a pain. I have prescription glasses but after a while, they just make my eyes tired. It’s surprising how much relief I get just by the filtering and clarification added by these lens types.

[Manifestus.]

Besides the fact that I have now watched all your videos, you convinced me to buy a pair of split time prizm polarised😂🎉. I reside in Greece an eant them for outdoor target practice

[starkestrength]

Awesome video guys. I just purchased a pair of non-polarized PRIZM lenses and found they were too bright for driving as my eyes are sensitive to light. I've been using Polarized lenses for twenty years now and it reduces strain on my eyes. Going to buy some replacement Polarized PRIZM lenses for my Flack 1.0 and see how it works. Once again, great video!

[russellhopperton]

I work with a polarized lens everyday and love it. Prizm just makes everything look blue to me.

[rickymahoney]

I’ve been wearing Prizm lenses for a couple years but i needed to replace the lenses bad. I just got Prizm polarized sapphire lenses for my Sliver Stealths and I definitely notice the difference. After this video I’m thinking I need none polarized Prizm lenses for my work shades. I’m landscaping and realizing there isn’t much glare. Now i gotta figure out which Prizm lens would be best for mowing lawns and being able to see my lines better 🤷🏻

[maddkatter]

I use both lenses. Just got a Oakley translucent Poseidon prism lens and I like it a lot.

[TamazTikanadze]

I have used one pare of Radar EV prizm polarized for 7 years now and its absolutely stunning love it
unfortunetly i ruined it just few days ago by leaving it wet after cleaning with chemically not clean water (tap water in Georgia ) so coating got "eaten" off on same places, have to replace lenze, one cool feature is that you actualy can only buy replacement parts such as lens itself and all rubber parts that gets soft time to time. so thank you Oakley for providing cut edge technologies for everyday use keep going!

Polarised lenses are amazing! But if your car have a head up display for example.. most likely you will not able to see it, as well as some other types of displays..
I personally will not recommend it for day to day driving (years of experience with that)
Go polarised only for specific activities.. and go Oakley it is the best out there!
