Prizm vs. Polarized Lenses | Oakley Differences Explained

[OakleyFrankFMJ]

My initial impression of deep H2O prizm polar was that they seemed brighter than Daily prizm polar, despite being 2% lower trans. And the contrast was more yellow/tan than the purplish Daily, which might have contributed to the impression that they seemed brighter.

But after I wore them a bit I loved them, no problems in full sun. Hope the same goes for you, too!

Hi!!

I am looking to get a pair of XS. Should I shoot for the VR28 lenses?

I have the Prizm Daily in a pair of Badmans. Very nice lenses.

VR28 BIP is quite different from Prizm Daily, but also very nice.

Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare.

All good info! Thanks for taking the time to post everyone.

I prefer polarized over prizm for daily use. I only have Prizm Golf for when I golf, all my others are polarized. I can't stand driving during mid-day and see the glare reflect from my dash board or opposing cars.

As are the two H2O Prizms.

Received 3 out of the five pairs that are coming today. I have been looking at the difference between the prizm polarized and the standard polarized and my eyes prefer the prizm. However, this is just from a short period of time wearing them. I will certainly spend a few days with each and form a better opinion. On a side note. Having worn emerald iridium lenses for the last 6 years. Wearing polarized lenses will take a little getting used to again. Not a bad thing, by any means. They are just certainly different.
