Great video explaining the technology, I bought a pair of these a few weeks ago after a days skiing when the conditions were big snow and low viz all day, I had my old fire iridium (non prizm) lenses and the mountain and weather was getting the better of me all day, just couldn't make out the snow. I ski'd yesterday for the first time with my new flight deck Prizm lens (aurora blue oxide sapphire iridium), all I can say is WOW ! what a difference - I could make out all the detail of the snow it snowed all day and I could see everything, I owned the mountains instead of the other way around. My buddy had Non Prizm lenses and wasn't enjoying the day as like me 2 weeks earlier he just couldn't see where he was going - not a gimmick - these lenses are amazing and worth paying for.
Mike, that's awesome! We love to hear experiences like this and you're absolutely right, the lenses truly are amazing. Have fun out there and enjoy your new Prizm lens!
These are simply the best sun glasses I have ever worn. The contrast that I am able to see is astonishing. I am in the sun a lot and live on Maui surrounded by the ocean and mountains. These glasses have given me a new perspective on the beauty that surrounds me. Well done Oakley; well done! Fan for life.
I have 4 different Prizm lenses in my collection,Prizm Daily Polorized, Blk Iridium Prizm, Blk Iridium Polorized Prizm and Prizm Road. It's just amazing how they make certain colors pop and add contrast and clairity to everything. Anytime I let someone try on my glasses they are just blown away by the technology. I will be adding more Prizm lenses to my collection.
Hello James! It seems like you know whats up!!! I am glad you have discovered the benefits of PRIZM lens technology. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!
It makes everything pop, massive color differential between all plants in high light environment helps silver cars stand out on a bright day at higher speed incredible.
Bought my prism Google's last night, was so impressed with them today I went back to the shop and bought prism sunglasses for daily use and driving. it's a whole new way of looking at the world
@@sportrxeyewear I should have also added the amount of eye strain the combo of googles and sunglasses have saved me, I didn't realise the strain and possible damage I was causing my eyes. I have a 4-hour drive home after being on the mountain all day and by the time I get home I used to have a headache combined with eye muscle spasms and put it down to getting old, it had got to the point where I was thinking of staying in the hotel another night and driving home fresh in the morning. Thanks to the prizm system and your great video explaining the harmful effects of white and blue light, I now understand what was happening, and this weekends drive home without out any further problems with my eyes has proved that it works, I felt 10 years younger. In fact, it has made the whole thing so much easier. I now want a pair for work as I live and work in Spain where the sun is out for more than 300 days a year Thanks SportRX and Oakley, would you be able to ask Oakley to produce a clear coat protection to cover the delicate lenses so that they can stand up to a little bit rougher treatment like on a building site
Hello Sabir! We recommend the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL ( www.sportrx.com/oakley-flak-2-0-xl.html ) with PRIZM Field lenses. You can learn more about the benefits and types of PRIZM lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/. Thanks for reaching out!
I race radio control offroad during the summer. And I deal with a lot of glare and dust when racing. I currently have the tinfoil carbon with a light smoke lenses. Which help but sometimes make it darker than my normal transition glasses. My question is what would be a good lens color to get with the new prism lenses for the conditions I deal with?
Hello Andrew! It sound like a PRIZM polarized lens would be right for you. A polarized lens works to cut glare. If you don't want something too dark, you can try PRIZM Jade Polarized or PRIZM Tungsten polarized. You can check out all of the Everyday options here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/ Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
awesome explanation.... really loved this video..and my favourite prizm colour is prizm trail... really awesome when the wavelength changes when prizm trail is put in the spectrometer.
Nice - that's Rob's favorite color too! He regularly cuts in on any mountain biker interaction saying, with much confidence, that it is the best mountain biking lens that exists. And we agree! We were stoked to get to see the spectrometer. It makes it clear and visual what we get to talk about every day!
I'm not an expert on Oakley goggles or anything but I've just ordered a pair of Oakley A-frame 2.0's in green.. they apparently have the prizm lens too. Will they still be just as good as any of the the other more expensive goggles? I worry because they seemed cheap at £85. Had a nightmare on a couple of the days I was snowboarding in January when it was overcast so it felt like a day wasted because I couldn't see the contours in the snow.
Is the prizm sapphire technology available with progressive lenses/prescription lenses? Which ones would be the best for mainly trekking tours, and sometimes car driving?
Hello there! PRIZM Sapphire is a great everyday lens. You can get in a progressive polarized version too! I would recommend contacting one of our certified opticians with a copy of your rx: www.sportrx.com/contact The strength of your rx will determine what Oakley frames you can get lenses for. Thanks for reaching out!
Hi there! Our opticians are PRIZM experts and will have recommendations for your specific needs! You can contact them by phone or Livechat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hi there! It sounds like you may want to check out our PRIZM Road collection video: www.sportrx.com/blog/road-guide/ PRIZM Road will always work but now PRIZM Road Jade and PRIZM Road Black offer slightly different variants for different conditions.
I have a Turbine Rotor in Prizm Black Polarized Lens oh my goodness is super amazing the colors are vibrant and clarity is sharp. It's so powerful by cutting 90% of light giving me 10% light Transmission it amazing.
I ride mounttain bikes with Oakley Radar Path with the Prizm Trail Lens, I live in Michigan, so I'm in the woods most of the time on the trails, but we do get out in the sun too, These glasses have become my everyday wear, they look good, I see good, and in the trail they work giving me a clear view of the trail ahead and the ruts, sticks, rocks that can cause crashes, I don't need a salesman telling me what they do, they just work beyond belief...I've had this pair for a few years, I just purchased a rebuild kit, $10 with new nose piece, and arm rubbers,
Which one can I use for going inside and outside all day. I am a delivery driver and I need to be able to read labels inside a trailer and inside a business.
Hello Frankie! PRIZM Black Iridium is the darkest lens tint. PRIZM Sapphire, Jade, or Ruby may be a better bet because they will allow a bit more light through the lens and be easier to see indoors. You can check out the rest of the PRIZM Everyday lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/. Contact one of our certified opticians if you need more help in finding a tint: www.sportrx.com/contact. Thanks for reaching out!
What kind of Prizm lenses you recommend for Cricket? Also I ma confused between the 2 frames OAKLEY SPLIT SHOT and OAKLEY FLAK 2.0 XL. Not sure which one would be best.
Hi there! We would recommend the Flak 2.0 XL with PRIZM Field lenses. You can check them out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-flak-2-0-xl.html We recommend The Flak over the Split Shot because it has more Unobtanium grip so when you break a sweat they will stay in place on your face!
Oakley's Prizm technology is designed to help enhance the contrast and visibility around you for a specific setting. For example Oakley has a Prizm road lens that was specifically designed for cyclists who ride on the road, and they have a Prizm golf lens to help while you are out on the course. Maui Jim's polarized plus lenses are a premium lens technology that aim to shield your eyes from glare and harmful UV to reveal and enhance the world’s true vivid colors in detail. Both the Prizm and Polarized technology are premium lens options currently on the market but they are harder to compare to one another.
The chromopop lenses will most definitely give you those peaks and valleys on the spectrometer. The difference is that oakley places and Tailors those peaks and valleys specifically to each environment, which in turn gives you better contrast for each individual Prizm lens
Hey Eric! Rob is rocking the Cazal Vintage 680 sunglasses. I have attached a link below so you can check them out for yourself :) shop.cazal-eyewear.com/us/cazal-vintage-680.html
Hi Ben! We would recommend PRIZM Black or PRIZM Sapphire. These are the darkest PRIZM lens options and will offer your eyes the most protection. They are offered in polarized and non-polarized. You can learn more about PRIZM lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/
Hello Syam! PRIZM is more about lighting conditions. You can learn more about how it works here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/. If you are in super bright and sunny conditions, PRIZM Black Iridium would be most suitable. Thanks for reaching out!
Hello Javier! We will make it with a separate rx insert that sits between your face and the outside goggle lens. If we tried to put it directly in the goggle lens, it would lead to too much distortion.

I’d like a flight deck in prism trail for Airsoft. Does the lens show a mark for the z87.1 ansi rating? I’ll have up to 1.7 joule plastic 6mm bbs coming at my lenses and need to stop them.
Hi Michael! The Flight Deck lens is unfortunately not z87.1 rated for impact protection but it might be worth considering a safety rated frame to use beneath the Flight Deck lens. The Wiley X Sg-1 is a good example of this... www.sportrx.com/wiley-x-sg-1.html
Oakley Prizm pitch are the best sunglasses for baseball and this is coming from someone that has been playing baseball since i was a kid and now in college.
I want to buy sports sunglasses to use both for city running and road biking and eventually for mountain hiking. I am set on the Oakley EvZero Stride frame but can't decide on the lenses: at first I was going for the Prizm Road but now I'm doubtful that the 20% vlt might be too high (and maybe harmful for the eyes) when running/riding on open roads on summer sunny days and therefore I am now considering also the Prizm Daily which is 14% vlt. Meanwhile I have seen new Prizm lenses have been released such as the Prizm Black (11% vlt, maybe too much for sports application) and Prizm Ruby (17% vlt). I can't get my head around all these Prizm lenses and I'm scared to either get too dark lenses for my sports purposes (high reactivity and details spotting) or too light lenses resulting in too much light perceived by the eye and possibly harming the eye. I would very much appreciate an advice from you experts and opticians at SpotRx!! Thanks and keep going with the top quality content on UA-cam!
Great question! Oakley has something coming out very soon in prescription. Otherwise you can contact one of our certified opticians to see what type of custom lens we can create for your needs: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hi! I was just wondering, why would you want to get the sapphire irridium for example, when you could get the rose and the black, which covers all the conditions. Otherwise extremely helpfull videoes!
Some people find that there are days where the Black may be too dark but also where the Rose is not dark enough. For the most part, though, you are correct - you can get away with those two!
@@sportrxeyewear hey,thank you for your answer,but i have a question, on my latch i can see part of my face on the inside of the lenses, i am 13,so maybe they are a little big or maybe the AR coating has some issue,idk,thankfull for your answer

I am pilot and trying to figure out the most appropriate prysm lens for low altitude flight (up to 10,000ft). That means lots of sunlight, cloud brightness and the need to see the details on earth.
Hi there! PRIZM Black would be a great choice, especially for bright conditions. You can check out more of the PRIZM Everyday lens options here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/ We recommend a non-polarized lens so you can still read your gauges!!
Hey Allen! Thanks for watching the video and reaching out to us. Oakley's Prizm lenses do allow different levels of light to pass through and effect the visual light transmission. The Prizm Black Iridium lens will allow 5-10%, Prizm Jade/Torch/Sapphire will allow 11-20%, and the Prizm Hi Pink will allow 21% visual light transmission.
Yes, you can read the gauges with PRIZM. The great thing about PRIZM is that it is also offered in non-polarized too! You can learn more about PRIZM lens options here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/
Hi Donovan! If you are colorblind I would recommend paying more attention to the VLT (visible light transmission). This is the amount of light coming through the lens to your eyes. You can see a full list of VLTs for every PRIZM Snow lens here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/
Hi there! PRIZM Snow lenses allow you to get the very best contrast for specific conditions. PRIZM Jade, Torch, and Sapphire are more all-weather options if you are looking for one lens to get you by. You can check out all the PRIZM Snow lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/
Hi Stefan! Both goggles are available with Prizm and non-Prizm lenses. You can see all the color & lens options here www.sportrx.com/oakley-flight-deck-snow-goggle.html - under the colors you'll see both the frame color and the lens it comes with. And you can always order extra lenses for both goggles as well. If you need any help with lens options, just go to www.sportrx.com/contact and our certified opticians will be happy to help you!
SportRx no prescription, mainly driving and out walking a few miles every day. Hope these also help with migraines. Also how do i get a military discount on your site the ask person said you have it but did not explain.

Oakley's Prizm technology will enhance the light conditions around you and protect your eyes from harmful light waves. To get the military discount please provide a valid email address when placing the order over the phone with one of our friendly opticians.
Hey, I got two pair of oakley jawbreaker and wanna change the oakley logo on them. I know it is possible because one of my friend has done it, but don't remember how he did it.
I have a slight astigmatism, my eye doctor says a lot of people have it. When I look at this photo www.thebostoncalendar.com/system/events/photos/000/170/121/original/ski4.jpeg?1521459261 With my reading glasses, I see more contrast and definition than I do with my MJ or my Oakley Turbines with HD Prizm lenses. I think my next pair will be a customer lens to compensate for that.
Hello Sky1! We have certified opticians here 7 days a week to help you out in making the best selection to meet your specific needs. You can call or live chat with an optician here: www.sportrx.com/contact. Thank you for reaching out!
Personally, i think prizm outdoes the lumalens and chromapop. The concepts are quite similar but I think prizm has the most success in that field. Though all eyes are slightly different so others may have a different opinion I personally like cooler lenses(cool as in the color spectrum, not the "awesomeness" of it" and saphire iridium is quite good for those cool colors
Thank you for the honest feedback Lars! Were always excited to get someone else's opinion on the review videos. How long have you been using Oakley Prizm goggles??
It's hard to believe that the statement is that I bought a pair of Oakley flight deck with fire iridium lenses about 2 years ago and now all of a sudden Oakley have just realised that how they were going about lens technology was completely wrong, that their fire iridium lens is now completely obsolete.. basically buy prizm. Is it a coincidence that there is no charts from Oakley showing the difference in light transmission or light spectrum specs with fire iridium vs the prizm fire version.. could be perceived as just marketing. Have now purchased prizm rose lens and will compare on Saturday
Thanks for commenting and sharing your insight on the matter Barry. Please let us know how the Prizm Rose lens works for you on the mountain. It was one of Rob's favorite lenses from our trip to Mammoth this year.
I must have missed something spectacular here based on the comments... The Oakley dude provides no insight and total disorganization (statements & show). A 30 minute conversation with an Oakley engineer and I think most intelligent people could be way more effective doing this infomercial.
Hello George! Sorry if the video was not what you were expecting. We also have a PRIZM Snow guide here that may be able to break things down a little better for you: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/. We appreciate your feedback!
Larry King lemme take you on a trip down memory lane.... So I was playing baseball with 20 dollar glasses, took a ball to the face, broke em and glass was in my eye. Bought Oakley's... Took another ball to the face cuz I suck. And the Oakley's didn't even scratch

@@sportrxeyewear hey,thank you for your answer,but i have a question, on my latch i can see part of my face on the inside of the lenses, i am 13,so maybe they are a little big or maybe the AR coating has some issue,idk,thankfull for your answer
Need some high prescription sunglasses ehat do you recommend??
Hi there! Contact one of our opticians with a copy of your rx and we will tell you what options will work best. You can reach them here: www.sportrx.com/contact
I am pilot and trying to figure out the most appropriate prysm lens for low altitude flight (up to 10,000ft). That means lots of sunlight, cloud brightness and the need to see the details on earth.
Hi there! PRIZM Black would be a great choice, especially for bright conditions. You can check out more of the PRIZM Everyday lens options here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/ We recommend a non-polarized lens so you can still read your gauges!!
Does the color of the goggles affect the light and darkness
Hey Allen! Thanks for watching the video and reaching out to us. Oakley's Prizm lenses do allow different levels of light to pass through and effect the visual light transmission. The Prizm Black Iridium lens will allow 5-10%, Prizm Jade/Torch/Sapphire will allow 11-20%, and the Prizm Hi Pink will allow 21% visual light transmission.
I use the Smith Arena Max for Nordic Skiing with Chromapop. Is there a PRIZM Snow made for Jawbreaker, Radar, etc?
Yes! We make the Prizm snow lens in the jaw breaker, the wind jacket, and more to come soon!
Hey AJ thanks again for being in the video! Feel free to answer all the technical Oakley questions, you're the man!
One last thing- would you be open to doing a Oakley v Smith Arena v Rudy sport glasses comparison?
Thanks for the request, we'll add this to our list of video ideas!
Thank you
Can you read monitors in heavy machinery with prizm??I know you cannot with polarized.
Yes, you can read the gauges with PRIZM. The great thing about PRIZM is that it is also offered in non-polarized too! You can learn more about PRIZM lens options here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/
Serious question what if you colorblind
Hi Donovan! If you are colorblind I would recommend paying more attention to the VLT (visible light transmission). This is the amount of light coming through the lens to your eyes. You can see a full list of VLTs for every PRIZM Snow lens here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/
so we gotta change the lens depending on the environment? darn
Hi there! PRIZM Snow lenses allow you to get the very best contrast for specific conditions. PRIZM Jade, Torch, and Sapphire are more all-weather options if you are looking for one lens to get you by. You can check out all the PRIZM Snow lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/
Thank you for the info
haha i love the oakley guy, hes clearly knowledgeable and personable
... what was that material though... plutanite?
I have been looking at goggles and I what to know which is better. NFX2 lumalens vs flight deck prizm.
Does every Oakley FLIGHT DECK and FLIGHT DECK XM come with prizm?
Hi Stefan! Both goggles are available with Prizm and non-Prizm lenses. You can see all the color & lens options here www.sportrx.com/oakley-flight-deck-snow-goggle.html - under the colors you'll see both the frame color and the lens it comes with. And you can always order extra lenses for both goggles as well.
If you need any help with lens options, just go to www.sportrx.com/contact and our certified opticians will be happy to help you!
Thank you!
Can you do Oakley VS. Dragon
Thanks for the request William! We're planning on making a review in the near future where we compare Oakley Prizm, Dragon Luma and Smith ChromaPop.
SportRx Thank Youu
Awesome video.... I though this was just a branding scheme for the longest time.
Is it normal for oakley lens to flake off?
Hello Richie! That is not normal and may be a manufacturing defect. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you out with!
It is normal, mine also flake off...same with my friend.
SportRx how to get replacement on my lens, prism golf
I have some metal Prizm sunglasses you can definitely see a difference with all of those colors.
Thanks for commenting and leaving us some insight Jon! Which Prizm tint do you have with your Oakley sunglasses??
I own a PRIZM Road M2 Frame for cycling and a PRIZM Daily Polarized Turbine - complete gamechangers
Which prizm would be good for just florida living? Bright sun, some beach time, and hiking.
Hi Brandon! Quick question: Would you need these sunglasses to be in prescription or non-Rx?
SportRx no prescription, mainly driving and out walking a few miles every day. Hope these also help with migraines. Also how do i get a military discount on your site the ask person said you have it but did not explain.
The Prizm Daily Polarized lenses would be the best option for your daily activities. Oakley's Prizm technology will enhance the light conditions around you and protect your eyes from harmful light waves. To get the military discount please provide a valid email address when placing the order over the phone with one of our friendly opticians.
"If you see better, you're gonna see a little bit better"
I heard that too lol
Can't argue with that logic though.
The oakley guy reacted as well XD
Do prizm field review
Thanks for the request Josh! Prizm Field review is definitely on the list of video reviews we want to do as soon as we get a chance.
Compare Oakley Prizm to Smith Optic Chromapop lenses..
Hey, I got two pair of oakley jawbreaker and wanna change the oakley logo on them. I know it is possible because one of my friend has done it, but don't remember how he did it.
You could have put those shades front of the camera ;)
I have a slight astigmatism, my eye doctor says a lot of people have it. When I look at this photo www.thebostoncalendar.com/system/events/photos/000/170/121/original/ski4.jpeg?1521459261 With my reading glasses, I see more contrast and definition than I do with my MJ or my Oakley Turbines with HD Prizm lenses. I think my next pair will be a customer lens to compensate for that.
Hello Sky1! We have certified opticians here 7 days a week to help you out in making the best selection to meet your specific needs. You can call or live chat with an optician here: www.sportrx.com/contact. Thank you for reaching out!
Personally, i think prizm outdoes the lumalens and chromapop. The concepts are quite similar but I think prizm has the most success in that field. Though all eyes are slightly different so others may have a different opinion I personally like cooler lenses(cool as in the color spectrum, not the "awesomeness" of it" and saphire iridium is quite good for those cool colors
Thank you for the honest feedback Lars! Were always excited to get someone else's opinion on the review videos. How long have you been using Oakley Prizm goggles??
They take this any further and soon we gonna be seeing creatures from different dimensions.
I bought one of these goggles and they better work!
Prizm is awesome prizm black is the best
Holy crap, have none of you at PortRx ever taken a Biology class in college? This stuff is basic Biology! Prisms, wavelengths, contrast, etc...
Worst "journalsit"...you should know how the mic is used.
It's hard to believe that the statement is that I bought a pair of Oakley flight deck with fire iridium lenses about 2 years ago and now all of a sudden Oakley have just realised that how they were going about lens technology was completely wrong, that their fire iridium lens is now completely obsolete.. basically buy prizm. Is it a coincidence that there is no charts from Oakley showing the difference in light transmission or light spectrum specs with fire iridium vs the prizm fire version.. could be perceived as just marketing. Have now purchased prizm rose lens and will compare on Saturday
Thanks for commenting and sharing your insight on the matter Barry. Please let us know how the Prizm Rose lens works for you on the mountain. It was one of Rob's favorite lenses from our trip to Mammoth this year.
10 months later... update?
FOUR PRIZM DYES?? damn Bro, ....i DEFO NEED GLASSES MAN I COULD SEE 5 DYES....
There is nothing more alarming then skiing a double diamond and hitting a mogul by surprise.
Hello Sky1! I agree! Thanks for your feedback!
Wondering how many people watching this video understand that chart lol
Yeah, the chart didn't mean shit
The lens peeled off after sweating on it & let dry after playing golf...poor quality but expensive...
Only 3 spectrometers in the world..... sounds like BS
Lance Link just take his word man, he’s a salesman.
First Comment!!! Your the best!!!!!
NO! You're the best!
The secret between shit tier shades and top tier shades
that guy went into fucking detail
I must have missed something spectacular here based on the comments...
The Oakley dude provides no insight and total disorganization (statements & show).
A 30 minute conversation with an Oakley engineer and I think most intelligent people could be way more effective doing this infomercial.
Hello George! Sorry if the video was not what you were expecting. We also have a PRIZM Snow guide here that may be able to break things down a little better for you: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/. We appreciate your feedback!
I hate that guys glasses makes him look like a damn wasp
his real problem is his face
Baseball caps make men look stupid
Hello Robert! Thanks for sharing your opinion with us!
Bla, bla,bla.
Oakley lenses are weak
Go to Walmart and grab $5 polarized glasses....simple...Too much publicity going on...
Larry King lemme take you on a trip down memory lane.... So I was playing baseball with 20 dollar glasses, took a ball to the face, broke em and glass was in my eye. Bought Oakley's... Took another ball to the face cuz I suck. And the Oakley's didn't even scratch
