A great shade of lens to look out from the outside the violet iridium is eye catching as everyone says. Looking through it though I don't seem to have the same problem some people say the have. I can wear these for hours and I still find them comfortable.

I have this lens in a pair of infinite hero split jackets and love it! The outside mirror coating shines better than any other lens Oakley makes. From the inside, they really improve contrast of greens, which makes them pretty good for golf I found. They were a little bit of a change from black polaraized, but once I got used to looking through them, I can wear them for 5 hours at a time

The lens remind me of Fire lenses when looking through - the greens come out. Very nice mirror and color. It functions me better on very sunny days to lessen the amber tint on non-greens, and contrast to the greens.

I've got it in a pair of my Frogskins, and I actually like looking through them, especially in lower light. It keeps things bright, but with good reduction of glare. Plus it looks cool.

My mom found a pair of First Generation yellow Frogskins with Violet Iridium lenses. They were at a yard sale for a buck, and they're in mint condition. I couldn't believe it. The lenses are great. They're so clear that it blocks the sun completely without feeling like my view is being obstructed. Great shades!
