Oakley irridium transitions vs Zeiss adaptive sun.

[benm]

Am looking to replace my prizm black rx holbrooks with something more flexible. Love the loook of the Bisphaeras. However my question is why would one choose oakley when zeiss adaptve sun with a mirror coating offer the following advantages?;

1. 40% vs 23% light transmission when clear. Up to 75% when the gradient option is selected.
2. A reported 9% vs 14% light transmission when darkened - though gap may be less at high temps.
3. Custom eye measurement for rotation and pupil size etc.
4. More high contrast colours - eg pioneer (green-grey).

never heard of them..... since no links provided, had to find them here

With ZEISS Sunglass Lenses It Never Again Will it be Too Bright or Too Dark

What do they mean by:

ZEISS AdaptiveSun Solutions use the “from dark to darker” system. These prescription sun lenses offer an initial light absorption of 60%. Should the light conditions change, the lenses will darken by up to 97% absorption in just 18 to 35 seconds.

they only let in 3% light? sounds insane ....

There’s a few after market lenses that are just as amazing as Oakley, I just found out about Zeiss, I just purchased a pair of glasses from RedFin polarized cause the red looks amazing on the lens

Interestingly Reddit says Zeiss adaptiveSun not available in the USA. Sounds like some lobbyists (hmm...wonder who hired them?) pushed the FDA to deny the land of the free a superior product?
