Oakley TrueDigital Lenses

Oakley True Digital lenses now come as standard with all Oakley prescription sunglasses. After a cross-over period during which both traditional Oakley lenses and OTD lenses were available, as of the beginning of the year, Oakley has decided to concentrate on purely digital lens products.

True Digital lenses are designed for sportspeople, athletes and all those who demand the best possible vision in wrap-around sunglasses and sports eyewear. Traditional lenses often cause blurring and distortion, especially in the peripheral vision area. Oakley True Digital lenses are individually made, taking account of the unique combination of frame angles and dimensions as well as your prescription and how the frame fits your face. The result is a lens that provides pin-sharp vision from the central field to the far periphery.

In order to obtain all the benefits of this technology, however, it's essential that the lenses are fitted properly by the optician. Normally, lenses are ordered using the lens powers (shown on your prescription) and your PD (pupillary distance) measurement. OTD lenses can be ordered using just these measurements, but for the best results, your optician should take a measurement known as OC heights. This is the vertical measure of where your eye sits behind the frame. When this measurement is included, the very best performance will be attained, with minimum distortion at the extreme periphery of your vision.
