FAQs
What makes the O-Matter™ frame material beneficial?
O-Matter™ is a stress-resistant material that is incredibly lightweight and durable, offering enhanced comfort and performance compared to standard nylon frames.
How does the Three-Point Fit system work?
The Three-Point Fit ensures the frame only makes contact at the bridge of the nose and the temples. This design enhances comfort by eliminating pressure points and helps maintain optical alignment.
Can I get these with my prescription?
Yes, the Oakley Rafter is available with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses, which are fitted with precision by authorized providers.
How should I clean the clear frames?
Use a slightly damp, soft cloth to clean the clear frames. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the material or finish.
What is the 'resin cactus' accent?
The resin cactus is a design element infused into the clear frame, creating a unique visual texture and contrast that adds to the eyewear's distinctive look.
Are these glasses suitable for sports?
While the O-Matter™ frame and Three-Point Fit provide a secure feel, the Rafter's design is primarily focused on style and everyday comfort. For high-impact sports, Oakley offers specialized performance eyewear.
What does the laser-etched ellipse logo signify?
The laser-etched ellipse logo on the lens is a mark of authenticity, confirming that the lenses are genuine Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel too tight or loose
The Three-Point Fit is designed for precise contact. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. Avoid self-adjusting the O-Matter™ frame, as excessive force can cause damage.
Smudges or fingerprints are very visible on clear frames
Clean the frames regularly with a soft, damp cloth and the lenses with a microfiber cloth. Consider using a protective case when not in use to minimize contact and smudges.
Screws feel loose
Gently tighten screws with a small, appropriate screwdriver. If unsure, consult an optician to avoid stripping the screw or damaging the frame.
Prescription lenses not fitting correctly (if applicable)
Ensure that the prescription lenses were fitted by an authorized Oakley dealer or a reputable optician. Contact the place of purchase for assistance with fitment issues.
