Oakley Ruby Iridium vs Positive Red Iridium - Lens Question

[Msgt Oakley]

Wow! You actually responded to a 10 year old thread. You might be in luck, because @Carrera1963 is still active on the forum

Where do you get your +red lenses? I’m currently looking on eBay for my minute 2.0s and all I can find is this (attached photo) and they definitely do not look like +red to me.

@Chris A Hardaway provided the last few customs I got, using Oakley originals with the correct base curve. I don’t know how available +red is nowadays though.

Is positive red similar to prizm road to look through? Their descriptions sound similar.

Nah... there's no contrast boost with +red. It's a cool grey, almost bluish tint when looking through. Prizm Road has purple-rose hues and mildly contrasty.

That’s what I thought too. It’s been so long since I’ve had positive red lenses. I couldn’t remember what it was like. Looking through them. In their description, the word contrast, and I couldn’t remember if they were really similar to prism Road.

Super Similar to prizm road, but slightly darker on the positive red iridium.
