Oakley
Oakley designs eyewear the way it designs sports equipment: light, tough and engineered around how you actually see. We stock Oakley sunglasses with Prizm lenses and a range of everyday optical frames, all authentic and from an authorised UK stockist.
The story
Oakley was founded in California in 1975 and made its name in action sports before its frames crossed into everyday wear. Two pieces of in-house technology run through the range: O Matter, the lightweight, flexible frame material used across many models, and Prizm, Oakley's lens technology, tuned to lift contrast in particular conditions, which is why you will see names like Prizm Road, Prizm Deep Water and Prizm Black. Oakley is part of EssilorLuxottica.
Signature models we stock
Holbrook is the classic square that works anywhere; Frogskins is the retro shape the brand revived; Sylas is a modern, wide rectangle. On the optical side, frames such as the Holbrook OX8156, Pitchman R and Hex Jector bring the same build to glasses for every day.
How to choose your size
Inside the temple of every frame you will find three numbers, for example 57-18-137: lens width, bridge width and temple length, in millimetres. The quickest way to choose is to compare with a pair that already fits you. Our size guide explains every number, and each product page lists the overall frame width as well. Oakley sizes tend to run generous: the sunglasses we stock measure 132 to 153 mm across the front, and the optical frames 127 to 141 mm. Note that Oakley sometimes uses a nominal size in its codes; we show the size engraved on the frame, which is the one to compare.
Lenses we fit
Every eligible frame can be fitted with single vision optical lenses, made to your eye-test results by our specialist glazing lab: clear lenses in four thicknesses (1.5, 1.6, 1.67 and 1.74), Transitions® lenses that darken outdoors, polarised sun lenses, solid or gradient tints and mirror finishes. Every lens includes scratch-resistant and anti-reflection coatings, with optional upgrades to SILVER (adds anti-static and UV protection), GOLD (adds a blue-light filter) and PLATINUM (adds enhanced contrast for day and night driving). The lens builder on each product page only shows the options that work for your numbers, and clear lenses start from £59. A strongly wrapped sports frame is not always the right home for optical lenses, especially stronger ones; our specialist team will tell you honestly if a flatter Oakley would suit your eyes better.

Frequently asked questions
Are your Oakley sunglasses authentic?
Every frame we sell is authentic, sourced directly from the manufacturer as an authorised UK stockist, and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
What is Prizm?
Prizm is Oakley's lens technology, designed to boost contrast and colour in specific environments. The lens name tells you its purpose, for example Prizm Road for driving and cycling, or Prizm Deep Water for time on the sea. Polarised Prizm lenses also cut glare from flat surfaces such as water and wet roads.
Can I get Oakley sunglasses with optical lenses?
Many Oakley frames can take single vision optical lenses made by our specialist glazing lab. Heavily wrapped models are limited, and the lens builder on each product page will only offer what that frame can take.
What is O Matter?
O Matter is Oakley's lightweight frame material: flexible, durable and comfortable for long wear. Product pages show the frame material for each model.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock frames are despatched within one working day; frames we order in from the brand take 7–10 working days. If you add lenses, they are made to order: allow 7–10 working days before despatch. Delivery is free and tracked on every UK order.
