Replace Oakley Half Jacket Lenses

Oakley sunglasses can be purchased at a variety of locations all over the United States.


Oakley, Inc., is a company based in Foothill Ranch, California. The company designs eye wear, including sunglasses, ski goggles and swim goggles as well as clothing, accessories and shoes. A popular model in their extensive line of sunglasses is the Half Jacket. This model features interchangeable lenses that are easily removed and installed into the lightweight "O Matter," a durable plastic designed by Oakley. Lenses are offered in the standard oval shape or larger XLJ lenses, which extend further vertically. The Half Jacket lenses are available in a number of tints and can also be fitted for prescription eye wear.


Instructions


Lens Removal


1. Grip the frame by placing your index finger through the nose bridge and your thumb on the top of the frame of the lens being removed. The front of the sunglasses should be facing your palm.


2. Grasp the lens being removed with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand.


3. Pull your index finger holding the nose bridge upward while pushing down on the frame with your thumb. The central tab of the lens will pop out and can be removed from the frame.


Lens Installation


4. Grip the sunglasses with your palm facing the back of the lenses and your thumb and forefinger on top of the frame of the lens opposite that of the one being installed.
