Where to Buy Oakley Prescription Sunglasses?
You can buy Oakley prescription sunglasses directly from Oakley online (Direct Link) or at an authorized Oakley dealer. If you order online be sure to have a copy of your prescription. And you may also need accurate pupillary distance measurements (usually this is on your eyewear prescription).
Talk to your eye doctor and let them know you’ll be ordering prescription sunglasses online. They can provide you with the measurements you need to assure the best performance from your prescription lenses.
And if you already own a pair of Oakley sunglasses that you love? Check with an authorized dealer to see if you can replace the lenses with a prescription version.
Another option to save is through buying non-prescription Oakley sunglasses from aftermarket sites like our Oakley Forum Exchange, then having prescription lenses made by your eye doctor.
No matter where you shop, be sure you’re getting Oakley authentic lenses. This is particularly important if you want Oakley Prizm lens technology. It also assures that you’re getting Oakley quality impact and UV protection.
