Product Information
Full details
The Oakley Paracord Eyeglasses are designed for adults seeking a versatile optical frame that bridges the gap between rugged outdoor durability and everyday urban style. Featuring a full-rim, soft round shape, these frames prioritize all-day comfort through lightweight materials and advanced grip technology, making them an excellent choice for active users. The primary caveat is that, while designed for reliability, the specific wire-core temple structure requires careful handling during adjustments to ensure the longevity of the fit.

FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for high-prescription lenses?
Yes, the full-rim design provides excellent support for higher-index, thicker prescription lenses.
Can I replace the earsocks myself if they wear out?
The Unobtainium earsocks are designed for durability, but if they need replacement, it is recommended to have an authorized Oakley retailer handle the swap to ensure a correct fit.
Is the frame material hypoallergenic?
O Matter is a nylon-based material known for being comfortable and generally non-reactive, though users with extreme sensitivities should consult with a professional.
How often should I have the fit adjusted?
It is good practice to visit your optician every 6 months or whenever you feel the frames start to slide or become misaligned.
Can these be worn for contact sports?
While durable, these are optical frames and not certified sports-specific protective eyewear. They are intended for casual, active, and professional use.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel loose during activity
Visit an optician to have the Unobtainium earsocks checked and the temple tension tightened to improve grip.
Nosepads causing pressure points
Adjust the gooseneck nosepad arms incrementally to redistribute the weight of the frame more evenly across the bridge.
Lens edge appearing chipped or loose
As a full-rim frame, ensure the frame hasn't been stretched. Visit an eye care professional to verify the rim screw is secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Oakley Paracord frames remain in optimal condition, treat them as a precision optical instrument. Initial setup involves taking the frames to a qualified optician to have the temples and gooseneck nosepads adjusted to your specific facial geometry. For cleaning, use only mild soap and water or an approved lens cleaning spray with a microfiber cloth; avoid using abrasive paper towels or household glass cleaners, which can damage the frame finish or lens coatings. When storing, always keep the frames in a protective hard case to prevent the wire core from bending out of alignment when not in use.
