The lens contains the actual prescription and it is the actual Oakley colored lens. It can't be done for everyone. People with real high magnification needs can't have an Oakley.

For people who don't need a prescription, they have it easy. They can just walk into REI and buy something that will do. However I need to wear glasses all the time. When I wear my glasses when I bike, on some days I have real uncomfortable problems. In winter, the sun is low on the horizon. The sun comes in behind my lens and bounced back into my eyes and blinds me, even though I wear transitions. And the glasses slide around on my face, dropping lower, and I end up peering out over the top of the glasses at critical times, like going fast down a steep hill because I don't want to take a hand off the bar to nudge the glasses back up.

I should say I wear bifocals, but for the Oakleys, the lens will be just for distance.

Also, the color of lens you pick is important, and has to do with how much light or changes of light you encounter on your rides.
