What is the difference between Oakley and Oakley Standard Issue? ›

Oakley® Standard Issue is a dedicated division within Oakley, Inc. that is committed to serving the specific needs of the U.S. Military, Government, Law Enforcement, Firefighters and EMS professionals. Oakley's partnership with the U.S. Armed Forces began in the 1980's.

Whereas polarized lenses block glare from reflected light, Prizm lenses amplify what you're seeing. That being said, most polarized and all Prizm lenses offer 100% UV protection from the sun's rays, keeping your eyes safe from strain and burn while out of doors.

Every authentic Oakley PRIZM sunglass will have either 'PRIZM', 'POLARIZED', or 'PRIZM P' etched into the lens. Any non-prescription Oakley sunglass with an 'O' on the lens is fake. However, if you order a Oakley prescription sunglass, it will come with the 'O' etching on the lens.

Prizm lenses offer UV protection even if they are not polarized. They handle UV light differently from other kinds of sunglasses, which simply stop radiation from entering your lenses. Still, the new process that Prizm lenses rely on keeps UV light from damaging your eyes and causing cancer and other diseases.

Prizm is an Oakley lens technology designed to enhance colour and contrast so you can see more detail. Colour – tuned to create a more vivid, vibrant world.
