Hi, can anyone recommend somewhere (happy for it to be high street or online) that I can get some prescription lenses added to existing Oakley frames?
I used RX sport to buy frames and lens previoulsy and I will ask them but I have already purchased some frames from the Oakley outlet shop - just need the seeing bit added!

Ciliary Blue can fit prescription lenses in most Oakley frames.
I popped into by local 'buy specs direct' place and they're in the process of fitting 'gammy eye lenses' into a pair of oakley aviator style.. wanted an exact match of the 'green mirror' lens..gonna be £110 for the new lenses (frames are a few years old).
Prob worth seeing what shops you have locally?

Ciliary Blue has rebranded to Reglaze Glasses Direct
I bought had some transition lenses put in oakley racing jackets from CB/ Reglaze and they are still going strong after 5 years
Thanks - will check them out
Oakley can do prescription lenses themselves (well they do in Oz) but there is a limit to what script they will work to to keep within tolerances for lenses to fit reskwctive frames. Had a pair (but list thrm in the sea) polarised with mirror so aboutvtge darkest you can get. They were really good lenses but spendy. Currently have arnette frames with fuji polarised / mirrored with some kind of water repelling coating. Reaaaaaally nice lenses too.
I got Oakley lenses through my regular optician. It was about 10% more expensive than the online places but was well worth the price as Oakley got the prescription wrong and the optician was able to assess that and get me new lenses for nil cost.
Vision Express do them - they send them away, so not sure if they are ‘proper’ Oakley. But the prescription seems good - first pair of reading glasses - so I did not need any of the original lens features.
