Oakley Eyeglasses

I live in California and plan to buy my glasses from Lenscrafters, and I decided that I like the Oakley Jackknife 4.0 frame, which costs $250.00. The Lenscrafters people said that my lenses alone would cost $240, bumping the price up to $490. I have Eyemed insurance, so I would get $120 off of the frame, and $52 off of the lenses, for a total of [(250-120)+(240-52)]*1.0825=[130+188]*1.0825=318*1.0825=344.24. Are these price quotes reasonable? It seems awfully expensive, especially the lenses. I know that other brands of frames are cheaper; do lenses prices generally correspond to the frame price like what I was quoted?
My vision is -6.25 on the right and -5.75 on the left

Most chain opticals that sell Oakley also use Oakley lenses, which are made to your prescription, then coated using the Oakley coatings. They are very expensive.

Some private practice eye docs also participate in Eye Med (we do). They have more freedom in choice of prescription labs. The lab that I use does "oakley style" lenses (curved, neat coatings) for a fraction of the cost of oakley lenses. The quality is just as good, though.

These lenses will still cost you more than "standard" sunglass lenses, and you won't find them everywhere. Sometimes it pays to price shop.

Oakley glasses are designed to satisfy the requirements of fashion while also standing up to the rigors of high performance sports. Oakley ...

Guess, DKNY, CHANNEL or Versace?

Gucci or Versace if your not buying sun glasses.

Or since they all contain a logo are none of them allowed?

Most Oakley prescription frames are fine, as long as the color is conservative. The logo is a trademark, and not an initial or adornment. Oakley has provided numerous products to the military directly, and they all have the "o" logo. You can find a huge selection of Oakley prescription frames at www.heavyglare.com. They do a lot of ballistic eyewear for the military as well.

I bought some Oakley Script ladies sunglasses on e-bay and once I got them, I realized that the black gradient lenses were super see thru, so it looks kind of weird. I really like the frames and want to keep them, but they are just so clear!! Can an eyeglass store simply tint the lenses darker or will I have to completely replace the lenses? Any idea how much it'd cost? Thanks :)

Any eyeglasses store(Hourglass, Lenscrafters) should be able to replace the lens for you. You will have to take the glasses in have them give you an estimate depending on what lenses you would like in the glasses. But it will alot cheaper then purchasing new ones. Also try contacting Oakley and seeing if they have a official distributer in your area. They might even change the lens for a fee through Oakley.

I have those glasses and am looking for clip on sunglasses for it. Thank you!

well if you lived in canada i would tell you where to go since i work in an eye glasses place..

umm.. but really unless there is a specific clip on made for those glasses it is almost impossible to find a clip on that will fit those glasses, they are likely to always be too big or too small... Goodluck though! It is possible, it's just really really really hard.!!!!
