Can Oakley sunglasses be repaired?

Oakley usually provides a two-year warranty.

If you have a pair of Oakley sunglasses that need repairing, your first step should be to check if the manufacturer's warranty covers you.

Depending on the extent of the damage, Oakley may be able to repair your sunglasses. If you purchased your glasses from an authorised retailer besides Oakley, we recommend contacting them first. If they cannot help, you can contact Oakley directly to make a warranty claim.

Are your Oakleys under warranty?

Oakley will usually provide a two-year warranty from the date of purchase, but you should check what specific cover is provided for your sunglasses. Some early Oakley products (such as Eyeshade Sunglasses) came with a lifetime warranty but coverage has not been offered more recently.

To check your warranty coverage and see if Oakley can repair your sunglasses, we recommend visiting an Oakley or Oakley Vault store in your area. Another option is to call Oakley Customer Service, who can assess your case and discuss your options.

However, Oakley warranty does not cover defects due to improper use, improper repair, physical damage, neglect, or improper fit. The cover is only from defects in workmanship and manufacturer materials. Unfortunately, this means that many of the most common damages to sunglasses, such as scratched lenses, are not covered. If your damaged sunglasses contain prescription lenses, then you might be able to receive advice and replacements from your optician.

Search for online repair services

If your damaged Oakley sunglasses are from a discontinued line, a rare make such as X-Metals, or vintage pairs, searching for expert sunglasses repair advice online might be your best option. Online expert advice and repair services for various models are available, and they can be much cheaper than buying a new pair (especially for discontinued frames). Just make sure you're speaking to someone reputable with an established service, such as AlphaOmega Frame Repairs, before sending your sunglasses or money.

Try doing repairs yourself

Depending on the extent of damage to your sunglasses, you may wish to attempt repairs yourself. We wouldn't recommend this option as it can be difficult without experience, and there is a possibility that you may damage your sunglasses further.
