FAQs
What is O Matter™?
O Matter™ is a stress-resistant frame material developed by Oakley. It is lightweight, durable, and designed to provide comfort and protection throughout the day.
How does Unobtainium® work?
Unobtainium® is an Oakley-exclusive material used for earsocks and nosepads. It's designed to increase its grip when wet, making the glasses stay securely in place even when you sweat.
Can I put prescription lenses in these frames?
Yes, the Oakley Bat Flip OX8183 frames are compatible with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses. These lenses come laser-etched with the ellipse logo as proof of authenticity.
Are these glasses suitable for all face shapes?
These eyeglasses feature a square frame shape that is specifically recommended for men with round and oval faces, as they add corners and definition to softer facial features.
How do I ensure the best fit for my glasses?
The glasses feature TruBridge Sport Unobtainium® nosepads and Ace-Fit adjustable O Matter™ temples, allowing you to customize the fit. You can gently adjust these components to conform to your face for optimal comfort and security. For precise adjustments, an optician can assist.
Are these glasses durable enough for sports?
Designed with sport performance features like a lightweight O Matter™ frame and Unobtainium® earsocks, they are built to offer a secure and comfortable fit during active use and training. However, they are eyeglasses, not safety glasses, and should be used accordingly.
What is the twisted stem design?
The twisted stem design is a unique aesthetic feature that mimics the follow-through motion of swinging a baseball bat, adding a distinctive and dynamic touch to the frame's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Glasses are slipping down my nose during activity.
Adjust the TruBridge Sport Unobtainium® nosepads to create a snugger fit. Ensure the nosepads are clean, as oil buildup can reduce their grip. The Unobtainium material is designed to increase grip with perspiration, so slight movement may occur before the grip fully engages.
The fit feels uncomfortable or too loose behind my ears.
Utilize the Ace-Fit adjustable O Matter™ temples. Gently bend them inwards or outwards to match the contour of your head and ears for a more comfortable and secure fit. If you are unsure, an optical professional can make these adjustments for you.
Lenses appear smudged or unclear despite cleaning.
Ensure you are using a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth and an appropriate lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials like paper towels or harsh chemicals. If the issue persists, inspect lenses for scratches, which cannot be cleaned away.
The frame feels too stiff or rigid for adjustment.
The O Matter™ material is designed for durability and a consistent shape. While Ace-Fit temples and TruBridge nosepads offer adjustability, extreme bending of the main frame should be avoided. Consult an optical professional for significant fit adjustments.
