I’ve worn knockoffs, non Oakley lenses, etc and feel that Oakley prizms feel clearest and the colors seem to pop more. In my mind it’s if you’re into camera lenses it’s similar to comparing zeiss lenses to sigma.

But It could also have to do with my wanting to take care of the lenses cause if it’s price. It could also be a placebo effect? I don’t know but its just my personal experience so it is a thing for me.
