Right. Makes senseMinutes were 8.75 curve too. But they weren't as big. Distortion gets worse the further to the edge, the wider the frame is
What's interesting is Oakley true digital lenses are compensated to reduce power at furthest edges out. So really adjusted to reduce distortion no matter how big. This guy is just used to wearing the same glasses so long his brain is used to his old minutes rx.Right. Makes sense
It's not as simple as just getting a refund though. I'd still be 100€ out of pocket for the frames I had to buy because Oakley no longer sell any frames that fit my prescription.The actual machines have changed to be CNC machines. They are 10 times plus more precision. So there is no "old style" lap tools at Oakley's lab. These machines cut faster, more precise, etc etc. So the old way doesn't exist at a lab like Oakley. Maybe if you get a refund from them. You can use that to buy flatter frames from their (your opticians) non Oakley lab.
Yet there is no noticeable distortion or blurriness with the Minutes, even in the right lens which I'm told is pretty much the same as my current prescription. The lens is also a 1/3 to 1/2 as thick, compared to the Flak lenses.Minutes were 8.75 curve too. But they weren't as big. Distortion gets worse the further to the edge, the wider the frame is

So what he's really doing is refusing to give his eyes time to adjust.
Why wouldn't our eyes feel better in something we wore 10 to 20 years? It's best to upate your RX ever 1 to 2 years so your eyes don't go into shock w a change.
How many years did you wear that last RX? You may never like future changes.It's not as simple as just getting a refund though. I'd still be 100€ out of pocket for the frames I had to buy because Oakley no longer sell any frames that fit my prescription.

Also changing to a flatter design seems pointless to me. What's the point of using sunglasses if the sun can get behind the lenses.
Is this a new prescription? Or same prescription as the others? It could be the axis or cylinder (astigmatism) that you're doctor prescribed it off. If you aren't used to it in 2 weeks w daily wear ask for appointment w your eyes doctor.Bumping up this old thread.
I have quite a few of Oakley RX: Prizm Black Prizm Road, Prizm Saphire, Prizm Road Black.
My latest addition to the family was a Prizm Road Black. I immediately noticed the blur at the edge, and, more importantly, that the PD distance was wrong. Long story short, my reseller ultimately confessed they switched the distances from left and right, wrote off the first pair they got from Oakley, and ordered a new one. The second pair was perfect, except for the blur/distortion at the edge.
What puzzles me is that:
For reference, my prescription:
- except for the Prizm Saphire, all my RX are Oakley Holbrook, and only Prizm Black Road exhibits this weirdness
- …granted, the Holbrook has some “bending” which could explain
- but… why does the Prizm Road and Prizm Black does not show this blurring/distortion?
-4.5/+0.5/100°
-3.5/+1.25/90°
What do you think? At this point I'm highly confident this is not a manufacturing process and that I'll have to “live with it”, but I'm curious what cause it, so at the very least I won't buy any other frames/lenses with the same behaviour.
Same prescription for all of the Oakley I compared. This is definitely NOT an issue with my eyes needing to “adjust”.Is this a new prescription? Or same prescription as the others?
