I currently own some non prescription oakley sunglasses and have now found out that i need to wear glasses and would therefore like to get the lenses changed in my oakleys to prescription ones.

Does anyone know where I can get this done? I checked with the opticians but they said that the lense had a radius that was too large for their lenses and i would probably need to speak with oakley direct. I have done a quick google search and although there are lots of complete glasses suppliers i cannot seem to find just a lens supplier.

Can anyone help me?

I got prescription Oakleys through Vision Express. They can order up the right lenses, but it might depend on [i]which[/i] Oakleys you have.

The Global site for Oakley prescription lenses is in a town west of Dublin - most decent opticians will send the frames there to be fitted and serviced.

Be warned, Oakly RX lenses are [i]very very[/i] spensive...

I'm waiting to find out if a mate of mine has gone and lost mine (somehow, they ended up with his stuff when I helped him move house, and could be bloody anywhere). I think he's fretting a bit, as they will cost about £400 to replace... 😯

01234 365365 I think is the number for serval, the uk oakley supplier. If they can't help you or point you in the right direction then I'm out of suggestions!

They do prescriptions lenses for nearly all their frames now so I would be surprised if they couldn't sort something but like RudeBoy said, not cheap!!

Find an Oakley dealer near to you that does prescription eyewear.

[url= http://oakley.co.uk/dealer/ ]Oakley Dealer Search[/url]

They will send off your frames to be 'glazed' at the factory and returned.

there's any number of Oakley glasses on Ebay. grab a pair, last time I looked they were about £40 for a nice "wire" design. Down to Local Optician, £120 or so later...Nice new pair of specs.

Try looking at www.gosportspex.com

I got my prescription Oakleys from them and was very happy with the price and service.

Their Oakley page says 'You can order lenses for your newest prescription frame or for any Oakley ophthalmic frame. Also, almost the entire line of Oakley sunglass frames can be processed by the Oakley lab to be custom made with your prescription... If you have a prescription that is not in the range please contact us. We are able to custom make prescription lenses for most Oakley Sunglasses.'
