FAQs
Are these frames suitable for sports?
The Oakley Extender frames are designed primarily for everyday wear and style. While they are made from durable C-5 metal, they may not offer the specialized impact protection or secure fit required for intense athletic activities. For sports, consider Oakley's performance-oriented eyewear collections.
Can I get progressive lenses fitted into these frames?
Yes, the classic rectangular silhouette and size of the Extender frames generally accommodate progressive lenses well. It is best to confirm with your optician during the lens fitting process.
What is C-5 metal?
C-5 is a proprietary metal alloy developed by Oakley, known for its lightweight strength and durability. It allows for the creation of thin, resilient frames that offer comfort for all-day wear.
How do I know if the rectangular shape will suit my face?
Rectangular frames are generally considered versatile and can complement a variety of face shapes, particularly those that are round or oval. For a precise fit, it's recommended to try them on in person or consult with an optician.
What is the difference between the Extender and other Oakley frame styles?
The Extender collection is characterized by its ultra-thin design, C-5 metal construction, and subtle architectural details on the stems, offering a blend of toughness and timeless style suitable for everyday wear. Other Oakley styles may focus on different materials, bolder designs, or specific performance features.
What warranty comes with these frames?
Oakley typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. For specific warranty details and duration, please refer to the documentation included with your purchase or consult the retailer.
Troubleshooting
Frames feel too loose or too tight
Visit an optician for professional adjustment. They can gently bend the temples or nose pads for a perfect fit.
Discomfort on the bridge of the nose
Ensure the nose pads are clean and properly positioned. If discomfort persists, consult an optician for adjustment or alternative nose pad options.
Scratches on lenses
Scratched lenses cannot be repaired. Contact your optician to have new prescription lenses fitted.
Frame finish appears dull or discolored
Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If the issue persists, avoid using cleaning solutions and consult the place of purchase or an optician.
