After market lenses what is good what is bad?

[Ray Tuley Jr]

Hello,
my question is about replacement lenses, and which ones are the best quality? I need some lensesreplaced that I have got scratch etc. , I have Been looking at the revantoptics lenses and walleva lenses, what is your opinion on these companies, fit and finish etc. Thanks in advance, Eddie

I have no experience with either brands, so not sure if my post would help but if you can't buy Oakley lenses, I would buy the Revant. I have heard they are much better quality.

Also they are a sponsor of the Oakley Forum!!

I have only tried one other aftermarket lens.
Though the colour is spot on, and the fit accuracy is great, there is slight image disortion, as compared to the original lenses.
I notice this when the lens is moved in front of my eyes, especially in a vertical plane.
I cannot replicate the effect with the OEM lens.
For me, "XYZ" optics isn't just a catch phrase, and the aftermarket lenses sit unloved in a drawer.
Your mileage might vary...

Do you have to get aftermarket?

Have you considered custom cuts? Not sure about the Why 8, but I know many lenses can be custom cut from donor lenses. I have a couple custom cuts in my Juliets and I couldn't be happier with them.

I haven't really ever dealt with a custom cut, and I am really not sure of the process, I have always bought oakley lenses but I can't find them , any informationappreciated

All do custom cuts from OEM lenses whether or not there is a suitable donor lens available for what you're after you'd be best off asking them directly

+1 to this, I have custom cut lenses by InfiniteHero and xmetalmaniac. Both are optically excellent and correct for polarized lenses. Go with one of those three and I know you won't be disappointed.

I have tryed Visionary Lenses for my monsterdogs, they look great from the outside 9 out of 10 ,but from the inside looking out 7 out of 10 you can tell its not a oakley lens.
I would just stick to getting the actual oakley lens if you can find it for your style.
