FAQs
What makes the O-Matter™ frame material beneficial?
O-Matter™ is a stress-resistant material that is extremely durable and lightweight, providing all-day comfort without compromising on strength.
How does the Three-Point Fit system work?
The Three-Point Fit system ensures that the frame only touches at the bridge of the nose and behind the temples, holding eyewear in precise optical alignment while removing common pressure points.
Can I get these glasses with my prescription?
Yes, Oakley Rafter frames are available with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses, which can be fitted by an optician.
What is the difference between this model and the Oakley Plank series?
The Rafter is described as a rectangular evolution of the Plank series, suggesting updated styling and potentially refined features while maintaining a similar core design philosophy.
Are these glasses suitable for sports?
While the O-Matter™ frame and secure fit offer durability, the bold rectangular style is primarily designed for lifestyle wear. For specific sports, Oakley offers performance-oriented eyewear collections.
How should I clean the lenses to avoid damage?
Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use a lens cleaner specifically formulated for eyewear. Avoid paper towels or abrasive cloths.
What does the laser-etched ellipse logo signify?
The laser-etched ellipse logo on the left lens of Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses is a mark of authenticity and quality, verifying that the lenses are genuine Oakley products.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel loose or slip down.
Ensure the Three-Point Fit is correctly aligned. If persistent, consult an optician for professional adjustment of the temple arms.
Frame feels tight or causes pressure points.
The Three-Point Fit is designed for minimal contact. If discomfort persists, it may require professional adjustment by an optician.
Lenses are smudged or dirty.
Gently clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear.

Inspect for damage. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with appropriate materials, but significant damage may require professional assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Oakley Rafter comes ready to wear. If opting for prescription lenses, they should be fitted by a certified optician. Ensure the glasses sit correctly on your nose and behind your ears, making minor adjustments if necessary. The Three-Point Fit system is designed to be minimal and effective.
Compatibility: These frames are designed to accommodate Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses. Compatibility with non-Oakley prescription lenses should be confirmed with your optician. The rectangular shape generally suits various face shapes.
Care: To maintain your Oakley Rafter glasses:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth) to gently wipe the lenses and frame. Avoid using abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings or frame finish.
- Storage: When not in use, store the glasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
- Handling: Always handle the glasses by the frame, not the lenses, to avoid fingerprints and potential damage.
