Maui Jim Lenses

Hyper-Precise Polarization

PolarizedPlus2® delivers the highest level of efficiency in blocking horizontal glare. Known as the most common glare, horizontal glare reflects from any flat, smooth or shiny surface.

A Patented, Proprietary Formula

We infuse our lenses with a patented blend of three rare Earth elements to enhance red, green and blue light waves. These elements increase and balance the saturation of colors we need to see and filter out the colors we cannot see.

UV Elimination

Our lenses block 100% of all harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes from damage and long-term health risks. Sunglasses that do not provide UV protection can actually cause more damage because they shade the eye, allowing for more UV rays to hit the pupil.

Scratch Resistance

Our glasses naturally provide a high level of scratch resistance. We enhance their durability and long-term performance by applying our proprietary CLEARSHELL® treatment to both the front and back of the lens.

Water & Oil Proof

We utilize proprietary lens coating treatments to make life a little easier. The waterproof component helps to shed water and snow. The oleophobic component repels grease and makes smudges and fingerprints easier to wipe away on both the front and back of the lens.

Oakley Prizm® Lenses

Oakley Prizm lenses are performance sunglass lenses designed specifically for sports like baseball, fishing, golf, skiing, and biking. Instead of just blocking light—and making everything harder to see—Prizm lenses boost certain wavelengths of color vision, so you can see even more detail. The result is fine-tuned vision and richer color.

Oakley has been at the forefront of innovative eyewear design since 1984. Not happy with the available options for sports-specific sunglasses, Oakley set out on a 15-year research and development project to create the groundbreaking Prizm lens. Using hyperspectral imaging, Oakley examined spectral peaks in every possible light and weather condition, across the terrains we love to tackle. Snow, ice, water, dirt, and pavement—no surface was ignored. After examining the data collected by the hyperspectral cameras, Oakley’s team got down to business creating Prizm lenses tailored to specific situations, including fishing, cycling, baseball, and golf—and the result beats our wildest dreams.

How Are Prizm Lenses Different From Your Everyday Contrast, Or Tinted, Sunglasses Lenses?

In addition to shading your eyes from the sun and blocking UV rays, Oakley’s Prizms target individual wavelengths of color and refine them. They enhance the world around you to provide better visual acuity—filtering out the bad light that washes out or hinders vision, and amping up the good light to improve contrast and decrease eye fatigue. Light transmission percentages based on common conditions—overcast, sunny, or extra-bright light—help provide even better vision. Better yet, some Oakley models allow you to switch up your shades with interchangeable Prizm lenses ultra-specialized for different conditions.

What Are Oakley Prizm Lenses Made Of?

A specially chosen dye is mixed with plutonite—Oakley’s patented polycarbonate material—then sent through an extruder to molecularly bond the materials. Then, the lens material is injection-molded to create the lenses. The lenses include a smudge-proof coating and anti-fog and scratch-resistance treatments.

Oakley Prizm Vs. Polarized Lenses?

Prizm and polarized lenses can be the same thing, but not always. Some Oakley Prizm lenses, like Prizm Field Lenses, are polarized, meaning they include a filter to block glare from reflected light. Prizm lenses don’t mean polarized—it’s an entirely different lens technology. Whereas polarized lenses block glare from reflected light, Prizm lenses amplify what you’re seeing.

What Other Options Are Available For Prizm Lenses?

Oakley sunglasses with Prizm lenses come with a variety of options to best suit your sport of choice. Want mirrored lenses to shun more sunlight? Reach for a style with iridium lenses—the special metal oxide coating reduces glare, light transmission, and reflection for a better visual experience in high-light environments. You can select the lens with the appropriate Visible Light Transmission (VTL) for the conditions you expect to encounter. Oakley Prizm sunglasses are also available in prescription lenses.

Are Oakley Prizm Lenses Reflective?

Prizm lenses reduce reflection and are available in a mirrored coating. If you’re looking for lenses that will reduce the kind of reflection that interferes with your vision, while offering a mirrored coating that others can see their reflection in, then Prizm lenses are your best choice.
