What Oakleys are polarized?
Some Oakley Prizm lenses, like Prizm Field Lenses, are polarized, meaning they include a filter to block glare from reflected light. Prizm lenses don’t mean polarized—it’s an entirely different lens technology. Whereas polarized lenses block glare from reflected light, Prizm lenses amplify what you’re seeing.
Are Oakley Prizm polarized good?
Oakley PRIZM Polarized lenses are great for glare reduction.

Because of this, polarized PRIZM lenses are recommended for things such as water activities and driving.
Are Prizm lenses polarized?
Prizm ™ Shallow water lenses are polarized to reduce glare, making it easier to distinguish sparkling fish and flies on the surface. With these glasses, it is the green and copper tints that will be amplified to better identify the shadows of the fish.
How do you check if Oakleys are polarized?
