FAQs
What type of faces are these glasses best suited for?
The square shape of the Oakley Wheel House OX8166 is particularly recommended for round and oval faces, as it adds definition and structure.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted into these frames?
Yes, these frames are designed to accommodate both single vision and varifocal prescription lenses. You will need to visit an optician for fitting.
What is the frame made of?
The frames are constructed from O_Matter, a proprietary material known for its lightweight strength and durability.
How should I clean my transparent frames?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and an approved lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratches.
Are these glasses suitable for sports?
While O_Matter is durable, these eyeglasses are designed primarily for daily wear and style. For sports-specific eyewear, Oakley offers other specialized lines.
What does 'Multicolor' refer to in the product title?
The 'Multicolor' designation for this specific variant likely refers to the transparent frame which, depending on light and angle, can appear to have subtle shifts in tone, combined with the core design elements. Other color variations exist for this model.
How do I store my eyeglasses to prevent damage?
Always store your eyeglasses in a protective case when not in use to shield them from scratches and impacts.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel loose or unstable
Visit an optician for professional adjustment. Minor adjustments can be made by carefully bending the temples, but professional fitting ensures optimal comfort and alignment.
Difficulty seeing clearly with prescription lenses
Ensure the lenses are correctly fitted and that your prescription is up-to-date. If issues persist, consult your eye care professional for a vision check and potential lens re-fitting.
Frame appears discolored or damaged
The O_Matter frame is durable, but prolonged exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals can cause damage. For persistent discoloration or damage, contact the point of purchase or Oakley customer support.
