The products offered on this website are in compliance with the French legislation in force and applicable standards in France and the European Union. However, CACTUS cannot guarantee full compliance of the products with applicable standards in countries outside the European Union. Therefore, the customer must check the compliance of products, the purpose of import, with applicable legislation of the country of destination. If the products are seized by customs services, CACTUS cannot be held responsible and no refund will be issued. 

CACTUS carries out the shipping of the offered products throughout the world.

A complete list of the countries covered by our shipping services is available in the “Quick delivery” section or on each product page.

3. Order

To place an order on this website, the customer must be of age and have legal capacity. If this is not the case, a parental authorization is required.

Any information automatically registered by VISIOFACTORY.COM constitutes valid proof of the nature and content of the order. To place an order on our website, the customer must first have created an account whose methods and information will be explained at the time of registration. 

Before confirming the order and processing the payment, the customer must unconditionally accept the entirety of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The data registered by VISIOFACTORY.COM constitute the proof of the entirety of transactions made between customers and CACTUS. The data registered by the system of payment “CM-CIC payment” constitute the proof of financial transactions.

Once the payment method is selected and the order is confirmed, the customer will receive an order confirmation email (at the email address provided during the registration process) including an invoice and a detail summary. Then, a second email will be sent to confirm the payment acceptance.  

However, the sale will be concluded only after validation of payment by CACTUS. 

Besides, in order to fight against online payment fraud, CACTUS reserves the right to ask the customer to provide any proof if in doubt about his identity, age, address or the holder of the payment method.

In any case, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order of a customer with whom there would be: 

- A litigation relating to the payment of a previous order;
- A doubt about his identity;
- A doubt about his solvency;
- A doubt about his contractual capacity.

Moreover, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order placed on VISIOFACTORY without the customer being entitled to claim any compensation in case of:

- Error in inventory management;
- Permanently out of stock products;
- An obvious mistake on one or several products displayed on the site;
- An obvious mistake on a price;
- A mistake or discordance between prescription and order;
- Infeasibility of optical equipment.

Any product ordered on this website is intended for private use only and not for the purpose of partial or full resale.

In this logic, for an order of more than three pairs of glasses and according to the destination, CACTUS SAS reserves the possibility of not honoring the order in order to respect the commitments made towards our suppliers, and in order to avoid to the customer problems customs with blocked parcels.

4. Price and payment

4.1. Price

For orders placed in metropolitan France: 

The prices are expressed in euros (€), all taxes included (French VAT and other applicable taxes). The charged VAT is equal to the basic rate applied in metropolitan France for this type of products (20%). The VAT rate indicated on your invoice represents the VAT rate of ordered and sent items. The displayed price includes the French VAT at the corresponding rate. The price indicated on each product page does not include shipping fees. The price indicated on the order summary and order confirmation pages is the definitive price, all taxes included. This price includes the price of products, handling charges, packaging costs, shipping fees and insurance costs. The total amount is payable in cash on the day the order is confirmed.

Besides, CACTUS reserves the right to modify its prices at any time. But the products will be charged on the basis of applicable prices on the day the order is placed.

For orders placed outside metropolitan France: 

In compliance with applicable law, CACTUS is forced to charge the VAT on orders sent to most European Union countries. 

Orders delivered outside the European Union are not subject to VAT, but can be subject to local taxes and customs fees in force in the country of destination. This also applies to orders delivered in the French Overseas Departments and Territories (DOM/TOM) and other regional authorities. 

For orders outside the European Union, VAT is detailed on the order summary page and in the order confirmation email. 

If customs authorities charge the customer for customs duties and excise taxes when he collects his parcel, no refund, discount or tax relief will be made on the amount of the order.

Therefore, before placing an order, the customer must check for possible taxes and duties due on product imports.

In any case, CACTUS cannot be held liable in case of failure to pay taxes due by the customer.  

Warning: any inaccurate information provided by the customer in order to avoid VAT may result in civil fines and criminal proceedings. 

4.2. Payment

You can pay the products ordered on VISIOFACTORY.COM by: 

1) Credit card (Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard, American Express) directly online. For this purpose, CACTUS has chosen “CM-CIC p@iement”. 

During a credit card payment process, the whole transaction is encrypted between you and CIC Bank. You temporarily leave the website and are redirected to “CM-CIC p@iement”. 

“CM-CIC p@iment” is the guarantee that: 

- CACTUS will never know your Credit card number. Indeed, this one is entered on a web secured page hosted by the bank.

- “CM-CM p@iement” will never know the details of your purchases because we only send the total order amount and the order number to “CM-CIC p@iement”.

In case of refusal of approval by payment centers, the order will be automatically cancelled and the customer will be informed by email. 

Besides, CACTUS reserves the right to refuse any credit card payment if the amount of the order exceeds €900. 

2) PayPal for orders that do not exceed €900, shipping fees excluded. 

3) Bank transfer for any purchase over €400, shipping fees excluded. CACTUS reserves the right to refuse any payment by bank transfer for orders under €400, shipping fees excluded.

In any case, CACTUS reserves the right to ask the customer to choose another payment method if in doubt about his identity, age, address or solvency.

In case of non-payment and one month after a formal notice sent by registered mail remaining unsuccessful, the sums due by the customer shall bear interest at the applicable basic rate of the ECB (EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK) increased by 5 points.

4) Orders made with a payment in three times can not be the subject of a relay point delivery: the customer must compulsorily opt for a home delivery with signature if he wishes to benefit from this method of payment.

5. Title retention clause

By express agreement and in compliance with the French Law of 12 May 1980, ordered products remain the property of CACTUS until complete payment. In case of failure by the customer to meet his obligations, for whatever reason, CACTUS will have the right to demand immediate return of the products at his own risk and expense.

Regarding the storage of the products, check the quality of the pictures and choose a website which offers different view of the product and mannequin's pictures : the « mannequin's shooting » is only available when the products are effectively stored.

Nowadays the vast majority of the optical websites offer products without storing it. We estimated at least than 50% the number of stored products by those websites. What happen when you pay for a non-stored product... you just wait, and it's not unusual to see your order simply canceled after a long wait.

Consequences : very long delay for the shipping, order cancelation, problems for the refund...

We note a huge increase of subcontracting these last years (supplying, checking, storing and shipping). Those come with their problems like, selling the wrong products, long shipping delays, poor customer and after-sale service.

The new Chanel ambassadors perfectly reflect the creations of the last collections : younger and totally urban. Cara Delevigne reveals a wrap-around sunglasses from the Parade Collection with futuristic designs while Willow Smith poses in a more intimist video clip.

Parade Collection

Quilted texture is once more the mascot of the fashion desigh House. Laser engraved on the endpoints of the lenses gives a funky look almost galactic as it is mixed with a mirror effect strongly pronounced. With a wrap-round or a round shape, the new Chanel sunglasses CH 4215 and CH 4216 really contribute to create an oversize effect for a heavy-face look. Karl Lagarfeld drew here his inspiration from the universe of the airport’s graphic codes. Metallic silver reminding the cabin’s one is omnipresent in the parade. Sleeves have exceptional finishing : the different plays of transparency as well as the graphic patterns make us think of the luminous blinking of departure lounges. The german designer signs here a quirky and original creation and summarizes the whole by saying : «  I like the idea of people travelling everywhere, they’re ready to do everything and especially to party. »

Signature Collection

Acting like a teen, playing simultaneously with a unique blend of rebelliousness and wisdom, sometimes mutinous sometimes provocative Willow embodies superbly her role. Mr Lagerfeld radically changes his universe for the 2016-2017  Fall / Winter Collection and invites us to contemplate a strong contrast between the young ambassador attitude and the creations. The new Chanel Signature sunglasses convey at the same time elegance and simplicity : as shown by the model CH 5359 which has very beautiful tortoise shades and sublty mirrored-lenses with a double revisited C.

Ray-Ban decides to bring up the retro look of the Roaring Twenties. Inspired from the original model Gatsby the brand offers news with a double bridge which brings a undeniably contemporary touch to other classic forms, the New Gatsby Ray-Ban sunglasses. This both chic and casual design which perfectly sticks to the New Yorker Universe of the 20’s is in adequacy with the movie adaption The Great Gatsby dating from 2013 interpreted by Leonardo Di Caprio. Art Nouveau furniture, feather boas, sparkle and sequins and floral patterns are used : make a big deal and draw people attention is the ultimate goal. Furthermore this moment has to be correlated with the time where women were able to move forward and gain more freedom : they have become more assertive and have strengthened their independance even in their dress style. Adopting a more androgynous look with a short hair cut and sexy bikinis ! They finally dare embracing a new way of life and that’s just fabulous !

 The Ray-Ban New Gatsby RB 4256 is a mixed model but we should say it straight : it will particularly attracts women thanks to its wonderful association of pantos form with a highly refined double bridge. For the boldest, we advise you to select grey or green mirrored lenses such the 60923R model which perfectly match up with the golden-tortoise shades of the acetate frame.

The RB 4253 with a plastic profile and transparency effects offers a great alternative to the classical pilot form. The revisited result is a pure design success for one of the best sellers of the brand.

Ultra-light, equipped with a titanium double bridge and having a technology without screw, the RB4266 model will attract those who want to combine design and comfort. Less heavy on the face, these sunglasses will rather suit with feminine faces. Besides Ray-Ban offers here exactly the same colors than the New Gatsby. So no jealous !

Classic and distinguished Burberry symbolizes the iconic british style. The famous black, white and camel tartan skirt became the identity of the brand in 1924. Sober and chic the checked fabric reminds us of the characteristic english style that we also find on sunglasses which also quickly become an essential luxurious and fashion accessory.

Burberry frames are designed in London and manufactured in Italy. They’re the result of a creative handicraft work which mixes together classic and contemporary style.

The BE4210 sunglasses is an example illustrating the perfect association of the classical print with a beautiful transparency on the temples. What do we like ? The purple / lilac’s oval frame color which subtly merges with the beige pattern.

The Burberry optical collection unveils elegant black and tortoise frames. Either round such as the model BE2128 which has a golden metallic component on the temples in order to highlight the logo, or rectangle shapes such as BE2120 models whose originality consist in having round and Burberry colors’striated temples.

Small prices, sober colors & a form which fits practically every shapes of face : a combination hard to resist !

Find out the whole collection online starting from only $92.90 : HERE

First, check your order tracking, and click on the order concerned. Double check that it has not already been delivered or presented, and make sure that the delivery location corresponds to the one you had chosen.

If you detect an anomaly, and if the delivery date has passed, we invite you to contact our customer service via the contact form. 

Freshness and modernism are the key words for the 2016 Optical Collection by Chanel of the luxurious brand. Lily – Rose Deep’s photographic shoots set the tone : pop colors & slighty acid colors !

All frames have a well-done outline with geometrical patterns which play at the same time on brush, transparency and stripes. This swirl of shining colors announce a natural & floral Spring / Summer campaign realized by Mr Lagerfeld who’ strongly imbued with Korean culture.

The Denim effect : Ray Ban was already familiar with this concept but it’s more astonishing to recongnize this texture on Chanel frames. Denim has indeed here been chosen to broaden the iconic temples of the padded collection : it is associated with a magnificent and refined acetate sheet, all sublty mixed together to emphasize the global lightness of the frame.

Blossoming gardens : CH3336 and CH3338 are extremely refined models and their delicate tortoise shades remind us of the smooth months of the year : beautiful colors typical of a field of flowers helping to create a bucolic setting. Ladies simply pick up the one which please you ! There’s something for everyone ! These sunglasses are destined to those who are looking for a gorgeous look with a hint of elegant sophistication.

Small glasses are the new trend of this season. A return to the 90's, mixing the futuristic matrix style with and a Julia Roberts look (so look over at Nothing Hill or Erin Brockovich) for a preppy look. If the Oval Ray-Ban model is easy to wear, the small shapes are also declined in a more streamlined design like the cat's eye (butterfly). The least we can say is that these sunglasses are perfect for those who are not cold-eyed.

Shipments are operating normally but due to the context some deliveries may be disrupted. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

All products that you can order are in stock and can be shipped without additional delay.

I could not find an answer to my question : contact@visiofactory.com

ARE THE EYEWEAR IN STOCK ?

At Visiofactory, all the glasses that you can add to your basket are in stock in our warehouse located in France. As soon as glasses is out of stock, it is not possible to order it.

I WANT TO RETURN A PRODUCT, HOW DO I DO IT?

I could not find an answer to my question : contact@visiofactory.com

A photochromic lens is a white lens with varying shades: it reacts by adapting to UV and darkens more or less depending on the intensity of the rays. The vision remains comfortable whatever the environment and the wearer is not dazzled. This hue is reversible, that is to say that in the absence of UV, the glass becomes clear again. The advantage is not having to change glasses between the inside and the outside.

It only takes a few seconds for the lenses to reach the maximum category equivalent to standard UV protection (category 3). On the other hand, the time required for the lenses to be completely clear is estimated at a few minutes. The variation in hue is also influenced by the temperature. In cold weather, the lenses darkens quickly, the hue is darker and it takes longer to become clear again. In hot weather, it's the opposite: the lenses darkens more slowly, its hue is lighter and it quickly becomes clear again.

The lifetime of this range of glasses is about 5 years: indeed, the reactions tend to decrease slightly with time and to present a coloring of solar categories 1 minimum and 2 maximum activation.

Signature or Xtractive: which option to choose?

It should be known that the photochromic lenses cuts 100% of UV, guaranteeing an optimal protection for the eye, whether it is in its activated state or not, ie light or dark. Home windows and car windshields cut off UV rays. As a result, the Signature VII glass we offer does not react and remains relatively clear behind these glass surfaces.

On the other hand, the Xtractive range reacts behind the windshields to a solar category of 2. They darken faster but also take longer to become clear again. Regarding their hue when they are "non-active", they are not totally transparent but retain a slight residual shade of class 0.

Protect your eyes from screens with blue lenses

Whether at work or at home, your eyes are fixed on screens for long periods. Eye strain from these screens now has a well-identified cause: blue light. Blurred vision, dry and irritated eyes, headaches: the symptoms are unpleasant. To these direct and sensory consequences, we add the long-term effects that are just as harmful for the eyes, namely a weakening of the structures of the eye and an increased risk of developing eye problems and diseases such as AMD (disease where the cells of the retina are no longer functional and causing black spots in the field of view). Unless you want to reduce the amount of time spent in front of screens, wearers and non-wearers can opt for a very simple solution: safety glasses.

The solution that we offer you at Visiofactory is an almost essential option for your future eyeglasses: BBGR Blue® super anti-reflective treated lenses.

The treatment of these lenses filters and removes much of the harmful blue light emitted by your smartphone, computer, television and led lights. 

You do not need to have corrected prescription glasses to benefit from it: select frames with BBGR Blue® lenses without correction, and give your eyes a life-saving rest! These over-the-counter non-prescription eyeglasses are therefore particularly suitable for adults between the ages of 18 and 40 who do not yet need visual correction.

The option is available now at Visiofactory for € 29.95 and is guaranteed for 1 year!
To equip your future glasses, choose in a few clicks the frame that makes you crack and select the option blue lenses in the optical module.

Experts opinion

Laurent, opticien Visiofactory :

"The blue technology is now very widely distributed, but there are different qualities of treatment on the market, the performance of which must be specified.

- "Standard" treatments : of lesser quality, its effectiveness is partial and is suitable for occasional wear. It is present in supermarket or pharmacy and is sold in the form of glasses "pre-mounted", relatively fragile and without service, all for a modest price. A troubleshooting solution so.

-  "Individualized" treatments: distributed by opticians and designed by glass manufacturers with worldwide recognition (Essilor Group, Zeiss, Hoya ..). It is manufactured individually from several micro-layers of treatments and has high optical qualities.

Visiofactory exclusively distributes this last category of "Blue" treatment, in partnership with BBGR, the French leader in ophthalmic solutions and a subsidiary of the Essilor group.

The quality "BBGR" is also unanimously recognized within the profession, especially through the award of several "Silmo d'Or", the ultimate reward for innovation in optics.

Good practice for the regular cleaning of your glasses

We are intractable: we want a "clean" frame. It must be recognized, after a few days without cleaning, with your fingerprints, dust, mist, or rain, you do not much see ! Your glasses deserve the greatest attention. With good maintenance you prolong them life and enjoy a good quality of vision. In addition, it is not complicated, a few daily actions are enough. Here are our tips.

To do !

1. Use specific products (cleaning spray / sterilized lotion) or warm water with soap for cleaning glasses.

2 . To wipe your glasses, use a cloth-type, anti-static, microfibre cloth that is supplied when you purchase your frame.

3. Remove your fingerprints by using slightly diluted white vinegar, effective against more stubborn fat residues.

To avoid !

Beware of micro-scratches! We forget clothes and paper towel for cleaning because they can damage lenses.

Storing and handling your frame : the right moves!

The indispensable friend of your glasses: its case! It is by taking advantage of its comfort that our frame feels the best protected! Prefer besides a hard case with soft cases and especially .... careful not to slip his glasses in his bag WITHOUT CASE. This is the best way to scratch lenses with a bunch of keys for example. 

To do !

If you do not have a case, always put your glasses on with the temples folded. Hold them with both hands to avoid tension on the temples and early aging of the hinges and spring systems.

 To avoid !

1. The glasses on your head or hung on the collar of your new jacket. There is no better way to drop your equipment and cause a breakage. The Oakley brand, however, has developed on a part of its collection, a unique fixing system named Kick-up that allows to clip his glasses clothes to be sure that they follow you in all your movements.

2. The cords can also be a way to overcome the falls of your mount.

3. Avoid all thermal shocks, whether hot or cold. For example, do not leave your frame in the car during summer. The heat damages the treatments present on the lenses and may distort or even melt your plastic frame.

A - Distant visio  |  B - Near vision  |  C - Blur area

Progressive lenses are suitable for presbyopes. It allows you to see clearly at all distances thanks to different correction zones.

In the upper part of the lenses is the correction to see clear in the distance while the bottom of the glass is dedicated to near vision. These variations of correction result in aberrations or areas of blur present on the sides of the glass between which is a clear vision corridor.

Wide field of vision option: what is it?.

Between correction variations, you need to get used to finding the clear vision corridor. To facilitate this adaptation, there are progressive lenses with wide field. These lenses are characterized by reduced areas of lateral aberration in order to have the widest net vision corridor possible

wide field progressive lens

Some tips for use

Find your bearings while taking your time. If you switch from single-unit equipment to progressive equipment, start wearing your new glasses in a familiar environment, at home for a weekend, for example.

To go from near vision to near vision, think of looking down first and not your head.

When driving, be sure to turn your head when checking your exterior mirrors or blind spots. In this way, you will keep your eyes in the clear corrected areas, not in the areas of blurred side aberrations.

The sun is appreciate because it lifts the spirits, warms temperatures and lights our homes. However, the UV rays emitted by it, remain harmful. Sunburn, sunstroke, ... they also weaken the lens and retina of our eyes. That's why it is very important to wear good quality sunglasses.
Behind tinted lenses, the pupil expands because glare is diminished. However, if the UV protection is not maximum, it means that we open wide the door to surrounding UV. A good reason to be well equipped and to choose glasses which correspond to the standards with a good index of protection.

There are several types of sunglasses:

The solid colors with a single solar category and therefore the same color on the entire surface of the glass.

Degraded shades that are particularly aesthetic. The color is dark on the top of the glass and clears down to generally progress from a category 3 to a category 1 or 2.

Variable shades that correspond to photochromic lenses.

Intensities and categories

The colors 

The main colors of lenses are brown, grey and green.

The brown increases the contrasts of the wearer and is generally suitable for nearsightedness.

The grey renders better the surrounding colors and is generally suitable for farsightedness.

Green is one of two and started to grow thanks to the American fighter pilots. It is suitable for everyone.

The characteristics of these colors are very subjective. It is best to try the shades to get your own idea and see what is most enjoyable and comfortable for you.

Additional treatment

The mirror effect is appreciated for the aesthetics it brings (see without being seen). In addition, it filters more light than a basic lenses and thus reduces glare. When the sun illuminates this "flash" treatment, the light is reflected in all directions.

The polarizing filter blocks the rays in a very specific sense. This helps to reduce glare. This effect is most visible on wet roads, snow, white walls, sand, or when the sun hits the windshield. As the glare is decreased or suppressed, the contrast is increased and the colors are intensified. There is thus a better perception of reliefs and distances.

Special glasses to eliminate glare situations

UV rays form reflections on surfaces such as snow or water and thus produce a source of discomfort or danger. Polarized sunglasses avoid being dazzled by the reverberation of light on these types of surfaces. Your visual comfort is thus significantly improved!

At the time of their manufacture, these sunglasses are provided with an additional polarizing filter directly inserted into the material. This element stops the polarized light rays, that is to say all the rays reflected via a flat surface (wet road, windshield, body of water, ...).

A real asset to better see outdoors

As the glare is reduced or suppressed, the contrast of the environment is increased, the colors are intensified and there is a better perception of reliefs and distances.

Sunglasses with polarized lenses are particularly suitable for driving or outdoor activities such as water sports. In town, their use is also a real comfort.

However, they can also prevent the correct reading on some LCDs like the digital speed meters of some cars, or create whitish halos on the lenses surfaces (windshields, telephone screens ...).

Some brands directly equip a range of their collection with lenses of this type. This is particularly the case for most sports glasses : Maui Jim, Oakley, Vuarnet or Julbo. Discover now our catalog of polarized sunglasses.

If you choose to equip your sunglasses with the polarized treatment, the option Xperio® is available on your sunglasses directly in our optical module.

An anti-reflective coating is composed of different layers that interact on the surface of the lens to reduce the light reflection effect and increase the light transmitted. This treatment therefore offers exceptional visual comfort by eliminating annoying and unattractive reflections that can affect the field of vision, especially during a night driving.

Anti-reflections consist of successive layers of treatment that vary according to the chosen range.

A basic anti-glare includes:

- a layer that hardens the lens, limiting scratches (be careful, it does not make them impossible to scratch!)
- a layer that cuts UV
- a layer that cuts off reflections, improving visual contrast
- a layer that rejects grease (oleophobic) that slide on the surface and provide comfort for the wearer by facilitating the cleaning of lenses

The anti reflective treatment Neva^® Resist + UV offered by VisioFactory is composed of the four previous layers which were added:

- an antistatic layer, that allows the dust not to hang on the lens
- a layer resistant to micro-scratches
- a layer which allows a better heat resistance
- a layer removed water to clean lenses easily 

It should be noted that the more the lens is thinned and the more the presence of an anti-glare is recommended in order to have an equipment with good optical quality. On solar lenses, this treatment is especially on the back.

For the farsighted, the effects on their convex lenses

When you are farsighted, the thickness of your lenses is at the center of them. The more important the correction, the more you will be able to have a curved lens, creating an unsightly effect. To reduce it, it is possible to select the thinned option which will make your equipment aesthetic. The optical quality of the lenses will also be improved: the less the glass is thick and the more light that touches your lens will be transmitted to your eye. Its resistance will also be greater.

For nearsighted people and their concave lenses

For nearsighted, the thickness of the lenses is on the edges of them. The greater the correction, the more likely the lens will exceed the frame, which can create an unsightly effect. To reduce it, it is possible to select a thinned which will make your equipment aesthetic. The optical quality of the lens will also be improved.

Strong astigmatism

If you have a strong cylinder (see the article on how to decrypt your prescription), a thinned one improves the optical quality by reducing the thickness difference between the two powers present in the lens.

Nylor frames

If you flash on a nylor frame (strapping made with a wire under the lenses), know that the thinned is strongly recommended. You greatly increase the resistance of the glass. Be careful, this does not mean that the thin makes it insensitive to splinters or unbreakable, but just that the lens will already be stronger, thanks to a more resistant material.

You can choose to slim down your glass during your optical order thanks to our Comfort and Premium ranges.

Do you know Oakley Prizm glasses™ ? 

Prizm ™ technology is designed to enhance contrast and color, allowing more detail to be seen.

Oakley uses a proprietary blend of lens tints to achieve color optimization.

Prizm ™ plays on the perception of colors, which visually translates into vivid and vibrant colors. In terms of contrast, these lenses make it possible to enhance the perception of depth. You will be able to better perceive objects and details of your surroundings. This allows you to better see details that would have been invisible to the naked eye!

Prizm ™ polarized lenses

Oakley also offers a combination of two technologies that complement each other perfectly: Prizm ™ and polarization. Prizm ™ will intensify the colors, when the polarization will reduce glare.

But not all Prizm lenses are polarized, because polarization is not always useful and necessary. It will be a plus, for example, to reduce reflections on the water, which allows you to see better under the surface of the water.

On the other hand, according to Oakley, glare can be a useful indicator in some cases. In golf, for example, the glare will allow you to follow the trajectory of the ball.

On the road, reflections can help you locate wet, slippery surfaces, or icy areas.

Prizm ™ lenses dedicated to sports

Oakley has also developed different Prizm ™ lenses dedicated to different sports. It is the requirements of each sport and its environment that are taken into account in determining the wavelengths of the colors to be optimized.

Prizm™ Road : 

The contrast enhancement of these lenses helps you spot stones and potholes for added safety. Cyclists will appreciate!

example with this Oakley Jaw Breaker pair in Prizm Road lenses

Prizm™ Trail :

These Prizm ™ lenses raise the green level to better detect lines and bring out tree roots. They are perfect for anyone who enjoys mountain biking in the forest, regardless of the light conditions.

You can select these lenses from our sight glasses after you have chosen your pair of Oakley sunglasses.

Prizm™ Golf : 

To accurately predict ball speed and movement, these Prizm ™ Golf lenses enhance contrast to better see the condition of the turf. It will be easier to distinguish the transitions between the fairway, the curbs and the rough.

These lenses are available to order on our site with Oakley Authentic Prescription prescription lenses, on a very large number of Oakley frames!

Prizm™ Deep Water polarized : 

Prizm ™ Deep Water polarized lenses help you see below the surface by filtering out shades of blue that will prevent you from seeing below the depths on the high seas. These lenses will promote the perception of greens and reds and also bright whites for clearly distinguish sparkling fish.

example with this Oakley Split Shot pair in polarized Deep Water lenses

Prizm™ Shallow water polarized: 

Prizm ™ Shallow water lenses are polarized to reduce glare, making it easier to distinguish sparkling fish and flies on the surface. With these glasses, it is the green and copper tints that will be amplified to better identify the shadows of the fish. You get it, these glasses are perfect for fishermen!

Here is an example of an Oakley Holbrook frame fitted with these Shallow water lenses

The sublime Nathalie Portman is pregnant with her second child and yet doesn’t neglect her style of future mother. This gorgeous and admirable woman has been the ambassador of Dior’s brand for years now and keeps being very attached to the prestigious french house that she represents everywhere by wearing pieces of the luxurious brands. Getting around the city as well as parading across the red carpet the famous actress always wears accessories of her favorite brand. Here we can see her with the brand new sunglasses Dior Eclat. a comfortable and trendy look for an engaged woman.

Freshly elected as Miss Universe 2016, our French Miss Iris Mittenaere recently moved in New York City where she has her personal designer as well as an incredible amount of outfits and accessories generously lent by luxurious brands. All dressed up our beauty queen took part in the New York Fashion Week and was simply gorgeous. Her beautiful electric-blue jacket is so well harmonized with her Dior Sideral2 We definitely have a crush on these glamorous sunglasses whose ultra-light & oversized metallic frame gives elegance and brightness on every outfits !

Rihanna keeps startling fans, designers and paparazzis photographers with her extravagant and bling-bling style. Our expert eyes manage to catch her Dior Reflected sunglasses. White transparent temples which contrast with mirrorred lenses whose upper-part reflects light like a prism. A pinkish reflection which echoes the dark skin of our favorite Barbados’ Miss.

Who cannot be charmed by the beautiful curves of this Victoria’s Secret angel ? Romee Strijd knows undoubtedly how to make our head spin ! And yet what we’ve noticed first were her Ray-Ban Hexagonal RB3548N If these vintage-geometrical sunnies have already been famous last summer, the new golden-pinkish color of their lenses finally set them right now on the forefront !

It is impossible not having turned the volume up and danced on last Bruno Mars’album ! Number one in the charts in France and abroad his music is a real invitation to celebrate life and perfectly reflects the optimistic and cheerful spirit of the Hawaiian. New album & new look for the artist who chose Versace house and who wears creations in his video clips and during award ceremony. You’re on a roll with your model VE4296 Bruno !

The new french rap face MHD made us dance all summer long last year on the hit Champions league or A KELE NTA music with african tones. In the new black and white video clip ("Afro Trap") the only color touch are the visible seam of his red leather gloves. But this detail has not prevented us to distinguish the Ray-Ban model worn by the rapper and at the head of the top sales : the New Gastby ! Ray-Ban brings up the retro look of the Roaring Twenties and offers here a model with a double bridge which combines a contemporary hint with a more classical round form.

At one of the Tabloids

This is the surprise in our dressing room this season: the comeback of the 90's style sign his return in the world of glasses! But do not we say that fashion is an eternal beginning? Stars and bloggers have shopped these small  futuristic style sunglasses with sleek and elongated design. They update those who had been put in the closet for some time. Beyonce, Rihanna, Bella and Gigi Hadid or the influencers @chiarraferrani - @sincerelyjules - @juliahengel and @songofstyle have all posted pretty looks with these mounts of character.

A geometric trio that is all the rage!

Rectangular, oval or triangular, this fetish trio of glasses is flooding the web of social networks! Our advice to avoid the Matrix style or WORSE! ... the pool style ?? We must do the job properly and assume 100% our "fashion look". To do this, two options: Number ONE, we put on the "full black" for the minimalist side. Number TWO : we opt for the pop effect of the ultra colored in a more avant-garde style. Transparency, smoked lenses, fluo colors and metallic reflections ....
How is it "too much"?

To complete its wardrobe with the trendy pieces of this season, nothing is easier than to surf on the last novelties of the Persol, Ray-Ban or Vogue collections. These brands have grasped the importance of adding to their catalog these intriguing frames called "half-moon"!

So are you going to dare? 

The best Netflix hold-up series will have been a nice surprise for many viewers. Touring in Spain, La Casa de Papel tells the story of the robbery of the national currency factory in its first two seasons. Four seasons are now available on Netflix, for this program whose worldwide success is resounding.

Many exuberant and particularly expansive characters populate the episodes of this series, such as Tokyo, Denver and Nairobi.

Quite the opposite of the central, introverted and reserved character: El profesor, Sergio Marquina. Played by Álvaro Morte, the professor is the brains of the operation, but also the mentor and the distance leader of his entire team. Their survival (and their future wealth) depends on it!

The professor is distinguished by a pair of glasses with a very trendy style. It is a pilot-shaped frame, made of acetate, with a characteristic shape at the level of the double bridge. In season 1, this is a pair of Persol glasses, the famous Italian manufacturer so popular with actor Steve Mc Queen.

The success of the series prompted Persol to offer real collaboration with the series! The Persol PO3160V Caffè 108 model thus corresponds to the model worn by the Professor, with a small “LCDP” personalization on the tips of the branches.

The packaging is also up to par with the inside of the box which takes up the plans of the coin factory, emblematic of the series.

So are you ready to change your vision of the world and adopt these charismatic glasses?

The numbers are in, and they are impressive: Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have sold 1 million units worldwide in 2024.

This resounding success has taken place not only in the United States but also in Europe, with particularly strong sales in France.

Features that win users over

In France, Visiofactory was among the first official retailers of Ray-Ban’s first generation of smart glasses, the Stories. The Ray-Ban Meta then succeeded these early high-tech glasses, offering even more advanced features.

Users appreciate both the audio capabilities and the hands-free photo and video recording. Ray-Ban has successfully integrated cutting-edge technology to make these glasses a seamless extension of the smartphone.

With open-ear speakers, users can listen to their favorite playlists without losing awareness of their surroundings—whether it’s conversations with friends or ambient sounds. The built-in microphone is also well-designed, allowing users to make WhatsApp calls using voice commands.

For photo and video enthusiasts, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses come equipped with two cameras, capable of capturing 12 MP videos. Sharing content is seamless: users can instantly post photos and videos as stories on Instagram or Facebook, and even go live. Those less inclined toward social media can still use the glasses to capture moments privately and store them on their smartphone.

AI now available on Ray-Ban Meta

Since the end of 2024, Ray-Ban Meta glasses have been enhanced with artificial intelligence. The Meta AI assistant allows users to interact with the world in real time.

For example, the AI can suggest recipes based on the contents of your refrigerator or translate a restaurant menu when traveling abroad. These functionalities are expected to expand in the coming months, turning these glasses into a true everyday assistant.

Initially, Ray-Ban focused on offering a wide range of Meta sunglasses, but the brand is now introducing more models with clear lenses.

During a company meeting, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses sales could reach between 2 and 5 million units in 2025. These impressive projections will be worth revisiting next year!
