Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Oakley Socket 5.0 frames last, take them to a licensed optician for professional lens installation and adjustment. Because these are metal frames, they are susceptible to bending if handled roughly during lens insertion. For daily maintenance, clean the frames with a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated lens cleaning spray. Always use a clean, soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the surface of the metal or the lenses. Avoid exposing the frames to extreme heat, such as leaving them in a parked car, as this can affect the frame alignment and the longevity of the red finish.
