FAQs
What face shapes are the Oakley Wheel House best suited for?
The squared, angular design of the Wheel House frame is generally recommended for round and oval face shapes, as it helps to add definition and contrast.
Are these glasses suitable for sports?
While the O-Matter frame offers durability and the Hollowpoint hinge is robust, the Wheel House is primarily designed as a lifestyle frame. For high-impact sports, Oakley offers specialized sport performance eyewear.
Can I get my prescription put into these frames?
Yes, the Oakley Wheel House eyeglasses are prescription-ready and can be fitted with your specific prescription lenses by an authorized optician.
How do I clean the lenses to avoid scratching?
Always use a clean microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid using paper towels or clothing, as they can be abrasive.
What is O-Matter?
O-Matter is a proprietary nylon composite material developed by Oakley, known for its lightweight strength, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures.
Where does the design inspiration for Wheel House come from?
The Wheel House draws inspiration and subtle design details from Oakley's best-selling Pitchman and Pitchman R styles, featuring a fresh, squared silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Frame feels too tight or too loose
Minor adjustments can often be made by a professional optician. Avoid attempting to bend the frame significantly yourself, as O-Matter can be sensitive to improper manipulation.
Hinge feels stiff
Gently clean around the hinge area with a dry, soft brush to remove debris. If stiffness persists, consult an optician.
Lenses become foggy
Ensure lenses are clean and free of smudges. Fogging can be reduced with anti-fog lens treatments available from optical stores.
