Retro-inspired one-lens styling without the vintage visual distortion. Polarized to cut glare.
A handful of eyewear designs are worth a second glance provided that the eyewear designers get everything right the second time around. Oakley's Polarized Speechless Sunglasses borrow elements of style from the ski-inspired eyewear of the early Eighties but the lightweight O-Matter frame brings pronounced contours comfort and contemporary styling to one of the coolest retro looks to grace faces in twenty years--even if you're younger than that (or just wish that you were). Unlike the vintage stuff the curved lens doesn't distort along the edges. That's because Oakley used their High Definition Optics lens design to match the curvature of your eye so the stuff you see to the side is the same size and shape it would be if you didn't have eyewear on. The polarized lens is ideal for reducing the glare from reflected light on water and snow. While most sunglasses manufacturers rely on sandwiching a layer of polarized film between two lenses and calling it good Oakley designs their Polarized Speechless lenses through a special liquid fusion technology that introduces the polarized filter while the lens material is still in a hot liquid state bonding the film at a molecular level that doesn't leave you peering through the glue residue that other polarized lens manufacturers leave behind.
