FAQs

Are the Oakley Rafter frames suitable for high prescriptions?

Yes, the full-rim construction is robust enough to hold most prescription strengths effectively.

Can I replace the lenses later?

Yes, these frames are designed to allow for lens replacement through an optical professional.

Are these glasses unisex?

While marketed primarily for men, the sizing and style can fit anyone who prefers a rectangular, full-rim look.

What is the best way to clean these frames?

Use mild dish soap and lukewarm water, then pat dry with a soft microfiber cloth.

Will these frames fit a wide face?

The Rafter is designed to fit a variety of face shapes, but for specific fit requirements, we recommend trying them on at an authorized retailer.

Troubleshooting

Frames feel loose or slide down the nose

The Three-Point Fit may require adjustment by an optical professional to ensure the temple tips are properly contoured to your head shape.

Lens smudging or cloudiness

Use a dedicated lens cleaning spray and a microfiber cloth; avoid soap or glass cleaners which can damage lens treatments.

Discomfort at the bridge

Visit an optician to have the frame nose contact points inspected and adjusted to distribute weight more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Oakley Rafter frames last, take them to an authorized Oakley dealer or a licensed optical professional for your initial lens installation. The frames are designed to accommodate Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses to maintain the integrity of the design.

For daily care, rinse the frames under lukewarm water to remove dust or debris, then dry with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, household cleaners, or paper towels, as these can strip protective lens coatings and scratch the frame finish. When not in use, store the glasses in a protective hard case to prevent accidental bending or damage to the hinges.
