| I have Oakley M frames with a clear lens. When I look at light in a dark are I see ghost images of the light offset from the light source. For example if I am in a dark room looking out a cracked door to a bright area and I am 5 fet from the door I can see a secondary dimmer image of the cracked door to the side of the actual image. I have not noticed this with my other Oakley glasses with different lenses (XX and Half Jacket) is this normal? |

Dev, I'll take a look at mine when I get home and I'll let you know.... FWIW, I think this is some sort of Parallax error/distortion. Because you are looking through a lens, there will be some shift of the image. I ain't no expert, but, I think this could explain it. |

Is it a brand new lens? Or older (with wear, like maybe the coating wore off)? I don't notice anything like that but I also wear eyeglasses with prisms - when I first got them I didn't realize I needed to get the lenses coated or else I'd be seeing all the lights double. VERY distracting for nighttime driving. |
What you are looking at is a faint reflection of your own eyes, more liley cause by light bouncing off your eyes an then bouncing again from the lenses. I have a pair of M-frames too and I checked it out. , it is more pronounced if you have darker lenses, like polarized and "Iridium" lense coatings. My M Frames have dark grey (non Iridium) lenses and I have a set of Oakley Minute glasses with Ruby Iridium lenses.

Hmm...Perhaps it's because the lens covers wider area on the M Frames? I'm not seeing any reflection from my Juliets. Interesting, as shouldn't their XYZ technology prevent distortion? Ruby lens? I'm jealous...hard to find those red ones for Juliets these days... |
