Hello, I have a problem with my Oakley Wheel House RX frames in 'Polished Clear' (https://www.oakley.com/en-gb/product/W0OX8166?variant=888392468413). Mine are just about 4 weeks old and begin to develop a purple tint or discoloration.
The discoloration seems to be not just on the surface, because when I look through the thicker parts (for instance, from above through the endpieces or nosepads) the color is much more intense. When looking at the front or the back, the tint is more visible on the upper and lower end than on the sides, so it's obviously also not some 'natural' tint of the clear O Matter material. And when I got them, it was totally colorless.
The frame has _not_ been exposed to excessive sunlight. I have worn them only occasionaly in the sun and mostly after 4 pm.
Anyone with a similar experience? I want to refrain from going back to the store at the moment, because the tint is still very slight. But it would be good to know if this is a known problem and if the discoloration will increase over time (or disappear again?).
