HDO Technology Distortion: Good for Guitars, Bad for Lenses
Let’s be clear, Oakley’s High Definition Optics® (HDO)® makes distortion disappear. No more seeing things here that really aren’t there and vice versa. With HDO, you’ll find rocks, flagsticks, and steps where they are supposed to be. Not only does HDO meet the American National Standards Institute clarity testing requirements, we exceed them.
Clarity Test
Measures how distinct and sharp an image appears when viewed through a lens. The clarity test proves that HDO maintains clarity at greater viewing distances than standard lenses. Driven by seven proprietary technologies plus a level of quality control unimagined anywhere else in the industry.
Prism Test
Measures how lenses bend light. As light is bent by the lens, objects appear to shift from their true position. If the lenses in a frame bend light in different directions, your brain works harder to put the images together. With HDO, light stays true. Objects are perceived at their actual position, and both eyes see the same image.
Refractive Power Test
Measures how lenses magnify images and cause visual distortion. HDO delivers the highest possible level of optical fidelity by eliminating magnification distortion.
