How To Fix Peeling Oakley Sunglasses

A simple and quick fix for peeling Oakley sunglasses. It can be done in 5 minutes and does not require any special tools or solvents.

What about the protective properties to the eyes though? Like, is this removing UV protection?

[@heypetrelli]

the coating makes the surface harden as well. Once that coating is off, the lens would get scratched up very easily.

Tried this but it just left a sticky residue from the tape all over the lenses

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

Does this prepare the lens for reapplication of the layer? Or are you just removing the flaking layers for better aesthetics?

[@semiprocycling]

I removed the flaking so I could see better. I’m not sure reapplication is possible. If they are within the warranty period Oakley will just replace with a new one.

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

@@semiprocycling I guess it is very different for each person. I don’t get affected by the flaking at all. So I just leave the layer on. OTH, I am based in UK. Sunny day is a relatively foreign concept here.

Unless I’m mistaken, Oakley will Warranty this…

[@semiprocycling]

Correct and I already replaced them once. The warranty is for two years, though and I’ve had these longer.

@@semiprocycling ah, that’s a shame. For whatever reason I thought the warranty was lifetime, and I did some digging, I guess it’s been a number of years since that has changed.
