Unobtainium, a proprietary synthetic rubber trademarked by Oakley, is revolutionizing sports eyewear. This innovative material features a unique hydrophilic property: it actually increases friction when exposed to moisture. Whether facing heavy sweat or rain, Unobtainium prevents slipping by locking the eyewear securely in place. This ensures maximum stability and comfort during intense athletic activities. By transforming moisture into an advantage, this exclusive material has become a cornerstone of Oakley’s performance-driven design, providing athletes with reliable grip when they need it most....
UV400 lenses block 99% or more of ultraviolet radiation across the full UVA, UVB, and UVC spectrum (wavelengths below 400nm). This is the baseline standard recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology for any quality sunglass.A common misconception is that darker lenses mean better UV protection. In reality, dark tints only reduce visible light. Without proper UV400 blocking, dilated pupils behind dark lenses can actually allow more harmful UV rays to enter the eyes....
In August 2026, the German human rights organization HateAid filed criminal complaints against Meta, Ray-Ban, and Oakley for selling AI smart glasses, demanding a sales ban and mandatory "safety by design" measures.

Blue light is part of the visible spectrum (380–500nm). While some blue light helps regulate our circadian rhythm, high-energy short-wave blue light (415–455nm) can cause eye strain and disrupt sleep.Blue light blocking glasses work by using special coatings or base materials to filter out this harmful spectrum. However, they are not a cure for myopia.For the best protection, choose products that meet safety standards and avoid overly dark lenses. Ultimately, the 20-20-20 rule—taking a break every 20 minutes—is the most effective way to maintain healthy vision....
