The Oakley SPHAERA was engineered to push the boundaries of sports performance with an exceptionally wide field of view that lets you see everything in front of you — and thanks to Prizm™ lens technology, you see it in stunning detail. The lightweight O Matter™ frame sits comfortably under hats and helmets, while the front venting opening improves airflow during intense activity. Unobtainium® nose pads and sculpted earsocks deliver a no-slip grip even when you sweat. Prizm™ lenses filter 100% of UVA/UVB/UVC rays and harmful blue light up to 400 nm, while the rounded wrap-around shape protects your eyes from wind, dust, water and other outdoor hazards. Slip them on and experience the next generation of sport eyewear — fit so dialed-in you forget you're wearing them.
Engineered specifically for the demands of the course, the PRIZM™ Golf lens enhances the contrast between greens, fairway and rough, making it easier to read subtle grain on the green and to track the ball against varied backgrounds. The tuned spectrum reveals surface transitions you would normally miss and improves depth perception when judging distance.
O Matter™ is an injection-molded, refined and remarkably lightweight frame material that combines durability with flex. It absorbs impact, resists UV degradation so it won't darken with sun exposure, and keeps the SPHAERA comfortable across long sessions outdoors.
Hydrophilic Unobtainium® nose pads and earsocks increase grip the more you sweat, locking the frame in place during intense play. The result is a stable fit even underneath caps and helmets.
High Definition Optics® is Oakley's collection of patented technologies that allow its eyewear to meet or exceed the American National Standards Institute testing benchmarks for optical clarity, visual fidelity and impact resistance.
Plutonite® lens material filters 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC rays as well as harmful blue light up to 400 nm, safeguarding your eyes during every round.
Oakley lenses are developed and tested under extreme mass-and-velocity conditions, delivering uncompromised protection in a wide range of demanding environments — from the tee box to off-course adventures.

PRIZM™ is Oakley's revolutionary lens technology that fine-tunes vision for specific environments and specific sports. It enhances colors precisely where the human eye is most sensitive to detail, improving performance and safety without the compromises associated with conventional lenses. It is the first time that lenses have been developed for individual sport activities, with each tint engineered around the visual demands of a particular discipline.
Thanks to specially engineered compounds, PRIZM™ lenses filter out the optical "noise" in light that disrupts color separation. You can think of the technology as an ultra-precise color tuner that is designed specifically for the visual environment of your sport or activity, isolating the wavelengths your eye needs and suppressing the ones that wash detail away.
Ordinary sunglasses simply darken everything. Some lenses do improve contrast, but they are designed for a broad spectrum of activities and environments, which means compromises. They lack the fine color tuning you need for a specific use case. Just as the gear and equipment you use for your sport is purpose-built, the lens in your performance eyewear should be too — and with PRIZM™, you finally get that level of specialization.
Oakley engineers used hyperspectral imaging — the same technology employed by reconnaissance satellites — to analyze light in real-world environments. That analysis, combined with relentless attention to detail and precise rendering, set a new standard in the sports optics industry and made each PRIZM™ tint a finely calibrated tool rather than a generic sunglass filter.
Every environment places unique demands on our vision. PRIZM™ was created with the needs of specific sports and surroundings in mind. Seeing the world in the right colors gives you the ability to recognize things as they really are and helps you perceive potential hazards — such as roots or branches along a bike trail, or subtle ridges on a green. A standard lens tries to achieve this by simply adding contrast, but that approach can shift colors. The color balance of PRIZM™ is far more sophisticated: the main benefits are not only increased contrast, but also better color perception and crisp visual clarity. Similarly, an object in your peripheral vision presents a challenge because it falls on a part of the eye that has fewer color-sensitive cells. By targeting the right colors, we also target the right cells for your sport and its environment. PRIZM™ ensures your view is precise and detail-rich — and that translates directly into better performance.
Conventional sunglasses are like a simple volume control. When you turn the volume down, you reduce all the sound wavelengths together without any tuning. A stereo equalizer, on the other hand, lets you adjust the sound by setting bass and treble across specific parts of the spectrum. PRIZM™ does exactly that in the light spectrum: it fine-tunes individual parts of the color spectrum independently, sharpening the cues your eye relies on most.
If you want to play golf really well, you need to read the light transitions across the course correctly, judge distances accurately and have a sharp eye for the surface of the turf. With the PRIZM™ lens, color separation is easier — and when you are on the green you can more easily distinguish the characteristics of the grass and the grain of the surface, helping you commit to the line with confidence.
