If you’ve got a pair of broken Oakley sunglasses on your hand, you may be wondering whether you can repair them or if you need a new pair. Luckily, there are plenty of options to get your Oakleys repaired, depending on the extent of the damage.
Now let’s jump into your best options for repairing your Oakleys!
Options for Oakley Repair
Option 1: Oakley
Your first stop for any broken item is usually the manufacturer, and sunglasses are no different. Oakley may be able to repair your sunglasses, depending on the extent of damage and your warranty.
Generally, Oakley sunglasses come with a two-year warranty from the date of your purchase. But for complete details, check out our definitive guide to the Oakley Warranty.
To find out if Oakley can repair your sunglasses, we’d recommend visiting your local Oakley or Oakley Vault store. If you’re not nearby a store, try calling Oakley Customer Service, who can talk you through your options.
If your pair of sunglasses includes prescription lenses, you may also be able to contact your eye doctor or ophthalmologist who sold you the glasses.
Option 2: Online Service (Like from Oakley Forum Discussion Areas)
For rare and discontinued Oakley sunglasses like X-Metals and vintage pairs, your best option is to find a reliable repair expert in our discussion forums.
Several members offer repair services for various models ranging from tuning up X-Metals to repairing broken earstems. While prices will vary based on the frame repair, they are often much cheaper than buying a new pair (especially for discontinued frames).
Option 3: Do-It-Yourself
Depending on the extent of the damage, you may be able to repair your Oakley sunglasses yourself. While this may seem daunting, it’s actually not too difficult based on how damaged your sunglasses are.
The most common Do-It-Yourself repairs are:
- Broken Earstems
- Broken or Lost lens
- Replacement Earstems or Nosepads
These pieces are often interchangeable on most frames, which means you can buy a replacement piece and simply swap it onto your sunglasses. But there are still plenty of tips and tricks to making this easier.
