Back In Here Again

Why are we even talking about prescription glasses? I do not use reading glasses, my eyesight is just fine.

"Well turns out the optician in town kept me waiting a full year for something that would fit my big head."

 

[Zeach]

Thats why everyone thinks you are referring to RX. Sounded like you went to an Optician, someone who prescribes & dispenses glasses..

 

[Solongdodo]

Yeah the store sells "prescription" glasses to people who need glasses and Oakley Prada Lada Nada and what have you for people like me who just want to look cool wearing Oakleys without any prescription. I`m not a native english speaker so don`t really know any other terms for lenses with different strength in them.

So then the answer to your question on stickers is.. sometimes they have them and some dont.

Ahhh gotcha! You're all good brother, just another Oakley fanatic like the rest of us

Going back to the pinprick issues, Is this something that is known to happen? I would think Oakley have a very strict quality control.

No, oakley no longer has very good quality control. Honestly, it's not surprising.

yeah my Palace Eye Jackets are sooo bad honestly, the frame at the opticals is all wonky & the right lens has a scratch that goes around the outside top corner...

So guys and gals, did i get ripped off buying my first ever Oakleys in a retail shop for $300? I can`t help noticing the pricepoint is much lower on ebay and online. I needed assistance finding a frame that would fit me, so i did get valuable help at the optician (person dealing with the sales of all types of glasses)

I have a couple more questions. Could someone please break it down to me how i read the small white numbers on the frames so i can understand them and know what to look for?! Right now i am blank, don`t know what to buy because of all these variable parameters. So what are these number saying?

Unfortunately my receipt don`t have the whole code, just says "00092" but i understand it is a standard Turbine model with ruby prizm/polarized. I was initially not considering the Turbines, i had other types in my sight but after realizing what would fit me was very limited, i went with the Turbines.

About replacing the Oakley lenses yourself, is this a widely accepted norm by now or frowned upon in the "community" ? I hear the optician saying they use a little heat to soften the plastic to do the surgery. Will this action void any Oakley warranty perhaps?

Don't use any heat when you change the lenses.
This explains what the numbers mean.
