Replacement Lenses

How to Choose the Right Replacement Lenses?

The most important thing is to make sure the replacement lens is compatible with your glasses model. Even lenses from the same manufacturer can differ in shape and mounting system, so a similar appearance alone is not enough. Check the exact model name and the compatibility information provided in the product description.

For example, Oakley Sutro, Sutro S, Sutro Lite and Sutro Lite Sweep use different lenses. With Bliz glasses, it's also important to distinguish between standard and Small-sized models. Some replacement lenses fit multiple models, such as Bliz Fusion and Matrix, but compatibility should always be checked.

Which Lenses Should You Choose for Different Lighting Conditions?

Replacement lenses allow you to use the same glasses in different conditions. When choosing lenses, consider their filter category:

• Category 0 – clear or very light lenses suitable for low-light conditions.
• Category 1 – lenses for cloudy weather and lower daylight levels.
• Category 2 – a suitable choice for moderate sunlight.
• Category 3 – darker lenses for bright sunlight.

The filter category indicates how much visible light passes through the lens, but it does not determine the level of UV protection. Check the manufacturer's specifications for UV protection details.

Bliz and Oakley Replacement Lens Technologies

Oakley Prizm lenses are designed for different lighting and activity conditions, helping to enhance certain colours and contrasts. Bliz Nordic Light technology is also designed to improve contrast and visibility, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.

If you often cycle at different times of day or in changing weather, photochromic lenses are also worth considering. Their tint adjusts in response to UV exposure. Before purchasing, check whether your preferred lens technology is available for your specific glasses model.
