Jim Jannard was the proud pioneer behind Oakley, starting the business with $300 and the simple idea of making sunglasses that work better and look better than anything else out there.
Jim created the O Frame® goggle with a lens curved in the perfect arc of a cylinder. Pros like Mark Barnett, Marty Smith, Johnny O‘Mara and Jeff Ward noticed its clarity and wide peripheral view.
Oakley has been producing prescription sunglasses for sports for over 15 years now, with over 90% of their sunglasses range being available with genuine Oakley prescription lenses.
Add to this fact their metal wires and life style sunglasses are also available and you’ve got a complete range that can cater for any need, whether the sunglasses are for driving, holidays or sport.
Oakley prescription sunglasses have now progressed onto the next generation. Traditional wrap around lenses cause the wearer peripheral vision to be blurred. As the importance of a wide field of view for cycling, running, golf, cricket, and motorsports is evident Oakley developed a new technology, Oakley True Digital. These lenses adapted as the lens curves to create blur free clear vision as you look through any point of the lens.
Oakley Truly Digital (OTD) lenses correct your vision across the whole lens surface, as the lens curvature increases the prescription in the lenses is altered.
So no matter which part of the lens you’re looking through, your vision is corrected successfully to give you perfect vision at any angle. These lenses are known as freeform lenses, with compensation being calculated into your prescription for the lens curve.
OTD Oakley prescription lenses are available with the same lens tints as the old version. The progressive (Varifocal) lenses
Oakley prescription lenses deliver shaper peripheral vision, eliminate distortion, and enable you to choose almost any style sunglass.
To ensure you’re getting the real deal Oakley prescription sunglasses come complete with a watermark on one of the lenses, so make sure you go to an authorised dealership. Note: transition lenses do not come with a watermark as the lazer cut marking affects the transition coating.
