So I'm looking to buy a clear lens for my Oakley fall lines (I have prizm jade lenses on them) for those darker days. On Oakleys site, there are clear lenses and clear prizm lenses.. Does anyone know the difference? What would the prizm tech even do for a clear lens?

Contrast. A lens that filters certain light will allow you to see contrast (shadows) better than a purely clear lens.

Clear lenses are dog shit, get Prizm pink.

So in that case, a prizm clear lens should perform a bit better than the regular clear lens? Even in low light?

Fr they only are better in basically night skiing only. The permission or whatever is also real nice for low light.
