Ready to go from work out to lunch out, NECESSITY™ is essential eyewear for the girl who wants it all. The large square lenses are stylish without getting too trendy. But don’t let the pretty face fool you’underneath the sculptural details, these are truly butt-kicking active glasses.
When it comes to lenses, NECESSITY has just what you need: UV protection of PLUTONITE® material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. You’ll also dig the optimized peripheral vision and side protection of 8.75 base lens curvature. With optical precision and impact resistance that meet or exceed Z80.3, you can feel good about giving your eyes the best protection around.
These beautiful lenses are framed with Oakley’s stellar O MATTER® material for durability and stress resistance. Ultra lightweight and comfortable, Necessity stays in place with the help of Oakley’s Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment. Patented hydrophilic UNOBTAINIUM® nosepads further ensure a proper fit.
Now that we’ve covered the essentials, let’s have some fun. Oakley style pops with metal icon accents and an exclusive women’s eyewear case. Customize your NECESSITY with gradient lens shading for varied field of light transmission from top to bottom. Or, banish glare with the best polarized lenses on the planet (greater than 99% polarization efficiency). For those who require a little vision correction, Necessity is available with Oakley prescription lenses (+2.00 to -3.00 combined power).
