The specially engineered Prizm lens is designed to filter out 'noisy' light and to emphasise the colours to which the human eye is more sensitive.
There are colours to which the human eye is more sensitive while other colours can reduce contrast and 'wash out' our vision. We can, for example, distinguish far many more shades of green than of red, thought to be an evolutionary adaptation.Īlso, standard light tends to look 'noisy' to the human eye under certain conditions. It has long been understood by scientists that the human eye is more 'receptive' to light of certain wavelengths. Users claim improved performance How do Oakley Prizm Lenses work? Golfers can more quickly judge the rolls and bumps when putting on greens motocross riders can identify dirt textures more readily, and snowboarders can spot details of snow cover that they would not normally be able to see.Īs they took off among athletes and sports enthusiasts, Oakley quickly extended the range to cover many other sports such as cycling, angling and shooting. Prizm lenses enhance light transmission at wavelengths that feature strongly in different sporting scenarios. Golfers, for example, see a lot of green as they wander about the fairways, motocross riders see plenty of dirt browns and snowboarders are sure to come across lots of white snow. The technology lends itself to enhancing vision in different sporting environments.
The technology emphasises the colours to which the human eye is most receptive, raising contrast levels at particular light wavelengths and thus giving better depth perception. Prizm lenses arrived after 15 years of research by Oakley specialists into building greater contrast into sunglasses. Already well known for its sports sunglasses Oakley claimed to break new ground with its revolutionary Prizm lens technology. Oakley Prizm lenses caused quite a stir in the sports world when they were first launched.
