Handmade layered acetate allows for a multitude of rich hues and colours, as well as visual textures, giving this frame material its premium look and feel.

Stainless Steel

The durability of an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio allows Oakley to make stainless steel frames with comfortable thin architecture. 

Nano-Matter

Oakley's ultra lightweight and durable frame material allows for all-day comfort that is highly resistant to the elements. 

Aluminum

Unobtainium

First on Oakley’s sports performance sunglasses, Unobtainium earlocks and nose pads provide increased comfort and performance. Increases grip with sweat.

SwitchLock Technology

Adapt and conquer with Oakley’s SwitchLock Technology. The simple switch mechanism makes the process of lens changing quick and hassle-free.

Oakley SwitchLock Technology makes the process quick and easy, and the lens is held securely in place for optimal clarity of vision.

• Provides optimal convenience with innovations that make lens changing quick and hassle-free.
• Offers the ability to adapt to any environment and keep up with changing light and weather conditions.

Oakley Sunglasses - Lens Technology

Oakley High Definition Optics (HDO)

A combination of technologies and patented innovations that give you clearer, sharper vision, HDO virtually eliminates the distortion common in high-wrapped sunglasses.

• Refractive Power. Conventional lenses can magnify images. HDO precision gives less distorted vision across the entire field of view.

• Astigmatism. Ordinary lenses can’t focus all light waves in the part of your eye that does the seeing. With HDO, you won’t have the blur of inferior optics.

• Prismatic Power. With regular lenses, objects aren’t really where you see them. HDO offers a truer visual image, and it helps ensure each eye has the same image so your brain won’t have to work overtime.

Authentic Prescription Lenses

Oakley can custom-build eyewear with prescription lenses exactly to the doctor’s orders. Take advantage of the quality and innovation of specialty lab created for Oakley dealers. Numerous lens options are available, including Oakley HDPolarised and progressive lens technologies. All lenses feature the unbeatable clarity of Oakley True Digital Technology, and are available in select from +4.00 to -6.00 prescriptions.

Oakley Photochromic Lenses

• Oakley’s photochromic lenses help you adapt to the changing light conditions so you can always preform at your best/
• Your lenses won’t be able to be too dark when the sun pulls a disappearing act or too light when it knifes through the clouds.

Oakley HDPolarised Lenses

Oakley HDPolarised lenses block 99% of harsh glare and minimise eye strain. Their infusion holding process eliminates the glues, layering and distortion found in conventional polarised technology. 

Other lenses are made up of multiple layers, attached with glue. Glue bonded layers diminish clarity and cause distortion. 

One layer and no glue means the greatest possible clarity and least distortion. Look through less to see more. 

Oakley's Protection

Impact Protection

Oakley go to great lengths to ensure their sunglasses protect your eyes. The lens material and frame geometry provide protection against high velocity and high mass impact. 

• High velocity testing: Impact resistance against light objects at high speeds.
• High mass testing: Impact resistant against heavy objects at low speeds. 

UV Protection 

• Oakley's Plutonite filters out 100% of all UVA,UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm.
• The lens material itself blocks UV, so you don’t have to rely on a thin surface coating that can wear away or become scratched.
• Oakley’s optical technologies allow for lens curvature that improves protection at the top and sides of your eyes.
