Oakley Technology
What causes glare?
Light travels in waves that roll at every angle. When sunlight
bounces off flat surfaces like pavement, snow or water, the waves
align. The result is a powerful wave of glare that can be 10 times
brighter than normal light.
How is glare blocked?
Thin filters called “polarizers” are added to sunglass lenses to block
glare. These filters are thin and delicate, like sheets of film. Getting
the filter into the lens is difficult. Some manufacturers sandwich the
filter between lens layers by applying adhesive, but that reduces
optical clarity. Other manufacturers sandwich the filter between lens
layers and press it over contoured forms with heat, but that causes
optical distortion.
What makes Oakley better?
Oakley solved the problem by developing a liquid fusion
technology. The filter is combined with the lens while the lens material
is still in its liquid stage. This creates bonding at the molecular
level, eliminating the need for adhesives. And with no need to heat the
lens or press it in molds, the delicate polarizing filter is never
damaged or distorted. That’s why Oakley polarized lenses offer the
highest level of optical performance. |
