Understanding Lens Categories:
Sunglass lenses are categorised by how much visible light they let through:
-Category 1: Light tint – ideal for low light or overcast conditions.
-Category 2: Medium tint – suited for everyday use and variable light.
-Category 3: Dark tint – perfect for strong sunlight, such as on mountains or at sea.
-Category 4: Very dark tint – used in extreme light conditions, like glacier travel. Not suitable for driving.

Lens Technologies Explained:
-Photochromic lenses automatically adjust their tint depending on UV exposure, darkening in bright light and clearing in low light.
-Polarised lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, or roads – ideal for boating, fishing, or alpine sports.
-Oakley Prizm™ is a proprietary lens technology that enhances contrast and colour to improve visibility and detail in specific environments (e.g., Prizm Trail, Prizm Snow).
Please note: Oakley lenses are not rated using the standard Category 1–4 system. Instead, they focus on light transmission percentages and activity-specific performance.
