Download the Excel Spreadsheet with ALL the information from my Dropbox link here.
Dropbox - Lenses.xlsx

Introduction
Ever wanted to know what lens you've got? Or what is the best use of the Oakley lens you've got? Look no further.

It's been grouped in terms of Light transmission from most to least in the first post, then alphabetically in the second post. The third post has just Goggle lenses by itself (light transmission) and the fourth post has Goggle lenses in alphabetical order.

If you want to download the excel file, go here. No acknowledgment needed. All information is available on the internet.

I wish there was a better way of displaying the data. If you have a better way, let me know!


Notes

Lens Name - Official name of lens
Transmission - Percentage of light allowed to be transmitted
Protection
  • Lens category 0: Fashion spectacles - These are not sunglasses, as they have a very low ability to reduce sun glare. They provide limited UV protection.
  • Lens category 1: Fashion spectacles - Like category 0 lenses, these are not sunglasses; however, they do provide limited sun glare reduction and UV protection. Fashion spectacles with category 1 lenses are not suitable for driving at night.
  • Lens category 2: Sunglasses - These sunglasses provide a medium level of sun glare reduction and good UV protection.
  • Lens category 3: Sunglasses - Similar to category 2, these sunglasses provide a good level of UV protection. Lens category 3 glasses also provide a high level of sun glare reduction.
  • Lens category 4: Sunglasses - These are special-purpose sunglasses that provide a very high level of sun glare reduction and good UV protection. Never wear them while driving.
