I’m puzzled how the US-based company’s prescription division alluded to me up until now. Not only do I use prescription glasses for computer work, reading and gaming, but I’m also a massive fan of the brand, so I don’t understand why I wasn’t aware of how big this side of Oakley was. Looking into it, I realised prescription options are available on almost all popular Oakley frames, including the Holbrook, Pitchman R, and Wheel House. Most of these are also available as part of the Prizm Gaming 2.0 Collection.

Since I started using the NXTLVL glasses, I have had fewer headaches, and my eyes generally feel less exhausted at the end of the day. I love the gentle yellow tint that turns the world around me into this slightly vintage environment (and also enhances my vision). I prefer the oversized fit, too, and how the glasses stay on my face, no matter how I wiggle my head around, looking at objects on the screen. This comes in handy both for work and recreation (a.k.a. gaming).

Better still, given the size of the frame and the tinted lens, most people notice the NXTLVL on me. I have always appreciated bold, stylish objects, and the NXTLVL is definitely one of those. It’s hard not to notice and comment on them; they just look cool (or, at least, I think so). This really is just the icing on the cake, given they also protect your eyes from harm, which is the real benefit here.

My only criticism is that the arms of the glasses press against the back of my ears, although it may be due to my ginormous head. The glasses are headphones-friendly thanks to the bendy section of the arms, although I’d still recommend getting a comfortable pair of gaming headphones, like theSkullcandy PLYR(which sounds exceptional, IMHO).
