Ok so you've been looking around at Oakley Sunglasses Shop Cheap for men, maybe you've always wanted some Oakley sunglasses but never gone for it until now, and then when you go to your local store they advise you your glasses prescription is out side the Oakley power range! Leave you a little disappointed to say the least!
So what can you do?
The first thing to consider is why Oakley do a power range, the main reason is higher prescription tend to have more non-tolerances and therefore prove more risky to supply as you get a higher percentage back with problems.
There are two main reasons why we get these problems. Number one is accuracy of the centre of the lenses, if the centre of the lens is not positioned into the Authitic Oakley Sunglasses frame so that it sits over your pupil when gazing forwards you will notice distortion with in your vision. The higher your prescription the more noticeable this becomes. The measurement needed to accurately position the centre is taken when you visit your opticians, so make sure you go to a reputable local optician that knows what they are doing.
The second problem is lens choice, lenses that curve round to fit wrap around sunglasses traditional cause distortion to the peripheral edges of the lenses, these lenses are still used today so watch out! If the sunglasses are coming in at £150.00 and under complete it's too cheap to get FREEFORM lenses (the newest technology that neutralizes the distortion and gives the wearer a wide field of view) A set of Oakley should be costing you £180-£400, anything less and something's going wrong somewhere and you're not getting naything near Oakley standards.
You do have options available and you need to source a good independent optician. I recommend independent opticians because these tend to be staffed with dispending opticians that have trained in the science and methods of correcting vision to a high standard.
When dealing with curved lenses the most important aspect is the measuring and fitting of the sunglasses with the client. This will make the difference between a pair that you put with because you can't get them anywhere else or a pair of Oakley prescription sunglasses that you love and can't part with. It's in the independents interest to make them perfect as they do most of their business from returns and with a specialist job like wrap around sunglasses if it's done well you'll go back for more.
Look online for local stockists of prescription eyewear on the Oakley site, this will bring up opticians as they are the only retailer allowed to sell Oakley prescription lenses. Before going into the store call and ask if they can do Oakley sunglasses over their power range as you've found out your prescription isn't with in their range and take it from there.
