Oakley Prescription Sunglasses

Why Oakley Prescription Sunglasses

Oakley prescription sunglasses provide you with the clarity you need in your outdoor activity. In fact, according to the Oakley website, quite a few athletes think they're so good, they buy extra pairs with clear lenses to wear inside. Oakley takes special care to line the prescription up just right to ensure that you get the best vision you can possibly have. It all boils down to lights in a 3D grid.

Oakley also refuses to take shortcuts, offering different prescription-ready styles for men and women. That means women don't have to worry about their sunglasses looking too masculine if they want top quality with their prescription built right in, and men don't have to worry about looking too feminine for the sake of great vision in a pair of active style sunglasses. You can even have Oakley lenses customized for another frame (but this may not work for every frame).

So what do you get by choosing Oakley prescription sunglasses?

• 100 percent UV protection
• Incredible impact protection
• Clear vision, thanks to their High Definition Optics® (HDO®)
• 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed

Options include:

• A wide variety of colors to choose from
• Iridium® lens coatings
• Polarized lenses for fighting glare
• Photochromic lenses that will become nearly clear indoors, then dark again when you step outside

Sample Styles

With all that Oakley has to offer in the realm of prescription sunglasses, all that's left may be picking out a style. Here are a few sample styles for men and women.

For Women
