FAQs
What type of faces are these glasses best suited for?
The Oakley Spindrift RX is recommended for adult women, particularly those with square and rectangular face shapes, as the round silhouette can help soften angular features and create balance.
How do the no-slip nosepads work?
The no-slip nosepads are designed with a material and shape that provides enhanced grip on the skin, preventing the glasses from sliding down the nose. They are also engineered to avoid snagging hair.
Are these glasses suitable for sports?
While the O-Matter™ frame and secure fit offer durability and comfort for an active lifestyle, the Spindrift RX is primarily designed as fashionable everyday eyewear. For high-impact sports, Oakley offers specialized performance eyewear.
Can I get these with my specific prescription?
Yes, the Spindrift RX frames are optical frames intended for prescription lenses. You will need to take them to an optician to have your specific prescription lenses fitted.
How should I clean my Spindrift RX glasses?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lenses.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is made from Oakley's O-Matter™, a lightweight and durable stress-resistant material known for its performance and comfort.
Are there other color options available for the Spindrift RX?
Yes, the Spindrift RX model is available in various color families, including Blue and Green, to suit different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel too loose or slip down the nose.
Visit an optician to have the nosepads adjusted or to ensure a proper fit. The no-slip feature is designed for grip, but individual fit may require fine-tuning.
Difficulty seeing clearly with new glasses.
Ensure the prescription lenses were correctly installed by your optician and that your prescription is up-to-date. Revisit your optician for a check.
Frames feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Consult an optician for a professional fitting. The lightweight O-Matter™ should be comfortable, but minor adjustments may be needed for optimal fit.
Scratches appearing on the lenses.
Avoid placing glasses face down and store them in a protective case. Clean only with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner.
