FAQs

What face shapes are best suited for the Upturn frame?

The Upturn frame, with its square-ish shape and defined edges, is recommended for round and oval faces as it adds definition and contrast to softer features.

Can I get these glasses with my prescription?

Yes, the Upturn frames are designed to be fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses, ensuring high quality in fit, form, and function.

How do I clean the geometric pattern on the frame?

Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the patterned areas, a soft brush can be used gently, followed by a wipe with a damp cloth.

Are these glasses suitable for sports?

The lightweight O Matter™ frame and secure Unobtainium® earsocks offer a no-slip grip, making them suitable for light activities. For high-impact sports, dedicated performance eyewear might be more appropriate.

What is Unobtainium®?

Unobtainium® is a synthetic material used by Oakley for earsocks and nosepads. It's known for its hydrophilic properties, meaning it increases grip when exposed to moisture like sweat or rain, ensuring the eyewear stays securely in place.

What are the benefits of the alloy construction?

The alloy construction provides enhanced durability and a premium feel, combining the toughness of metal with the lightweight comfort of the O Matter™ frame.

How do I maintain the different paint treatments (Titanium, Bronze, Antique Gold)?

These finishes should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to preserve the integrity and appearance of the paint treatment.

Troubleshooting

Glasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

Adjust the grip-fit clear nosepads for a tighter fit. Ensure the Unobtainium® earsocks are clean and making contact with the skin.

Frame feels uncomfortable behind the ears.

Gently adjust the temples by a qualified optician if necessary. Ensure the earsocks are properly positioned.

Scratches on lenses.

Clean gently with a microfiber cloth. For significant scratches, lens replacement may be required. Avoid placing glasses lens-down.

Frame finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the issue persists, consult an authorized Oakley dealer.
