Oakley lens peeling | How To Fix Oakley Sunglasses 

Just what I needed. I can't believe I found a video like this. Was going to get replacement prescription lenses but no optometrist was able to do it. Thanks so much 🙏

Thanx, Mate, I cannot really believe that my Oakley will have another lease in life, 3 years ago, I have the same problem with MANY small spots in the lens, and I do not know how to fix it, I tried and search with so many solutions to look for and, I almost gave up and ready to MOVE on and just forgot my reliable Oakley BUT when I saw your vlog here in YT, I tried it and it works, I have my old Oakley comes to life again, like a PHOENIX that rises again from the sand, Thanx, Cool Prints Today...you save a fortune from my pocket, from the Philippines with love, GOD speed, Mate...

All my Straight and Flak Jacket lenses peeled off and I had to replace them with aftermarket lenses. Finally it was the turn of the Fast Jacket's Transition lenses and I was quite heartbroken because it's very difficult to find such lenses. Not sure even Oakley is making them anymore. While researching what can be done, came across this video and trying it out. I can't believe I didn't think this was possible. My sincere thanks and now I have a fair shot at getting the coating that's peeling off and continue using the lens. You're just clever!

I have to go back to your video to say, THANKS! Because it really worked, I thought my Oakley was already done for. Thanks again man!

Great video! Procedure worked perfectly. In 10 minutes, was able to use my sunglasses again. Saved me an immediate purchase to get replacements. Thanks.

Bro you're a legend! I had some gold halbrooks now there smoked! I pop the lenses out first..🤙😎 I used a little denatured alcohol to get rid of any adhesive. Worked it with my fingers. Came out Flawless!

My lenses always start to kind of bubble up, close to the nose piece. I use these for golfing and think it’s from the sweat. The bubbles spread out. I ditched my last pair and replaced them. New lenses just starting doing the same thing. Just tried it using scotch tape and it took the bubbles away. I could see it starting again. Invaluable tip. Thank YOU!

I have owned multiple pairs of Oakley sunglasses and this happened to several pairs. One pair was a spare I bought on sale as a back up and NEVER wore. I can't believe that a company would produce such a crappy product. I wonder if they have fixed this problem. I am concerned about ever buying Oakley again. Ridiculous!

Thank you very much for the video. My Oakley’s have been damaged like this for a couple of months already and I was gonna throw them away. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

How is this video not viral? Thank you for the video. Anybody reading this comment please share. The world needs this hack.

Thanks very much for this. Was going to send mine off for repair or buy some new lenses, this has restored them completely!

Wow, I have a quite a few pair of sunglasses that could use this fix. Thanks, I'll definitely try it.

The sunglasses probably still block UV rays. egular plastic eyeglass lenses block most UV light, but adding a UV-blocking dye boosts UV protection to 100 percent for added safety. Other eyeglass lens materials, including polycarbonate and most high-index plastics, have 100 percent UV protection built-in, so an extra lens treatment is not required for these lenses. Photochromic lenses also block 100 percent of the sun's UV rays without the need for an added UV lens treatment. Edit. Could be that is was an anti reflection coating. For example If the sun is behind you and it hits the inside of the lens then the coating prevents it from reflecting into your eyes. .

Thank you it works on my ray ban... My nails are almost gone until I watched your video... It's like Magic... Thank you very much.

Wow...this worked on my regular glasses great! They were peeling...no explanation from makers.

Thank you very much sir for showing us how. Now i can use my oakley again.... Yessss.....

Love it when I find a good life hack. Super helpful. Worked like a charm 👍

My Marc Jacobs glasses were kind of expensive and I was sad I had to find new ones, but this is incredibly useful!! Thank you

Works like a charm! Thanks!

It works for non metalized/polarized/mirrorized lenses. But if you do it on them, you will also peel off that coating. It happened to mine but I don't mind it since the alternative is purchasing expensive replacement.

Thanks so much for this I just got done fixing mine!!!

I heard here in Brazil that this layer is a anti scrath layer that is damaged by sweat and heat. It makes sense beacuse it happened only on glasses I wear on the beach.

Thanks you very much, sir. I have Oakley square wire polarised glasses , it got like that,and I took it to shop for cleaning but they said Lenses have deteriorated,they cannot do anything. No I use your amazing mathod and it got work, thanks again.

UV protection is gone once you remove some of the lens tint. I sold all my Oakley tired of fixing this problems. It usually delaminate after 2 years upon production date. Oakley is clever so they will earn more for the replacement lens. Try Rudy Project and Maui Jim is last longer, mine is 5 years still no lens delamination, use it for cycling and everyday use.

my sunglasses is peeling from the inside., can i do same method? would it peel off the color of the lens or do damage?

Tried. Unfortunately mine peeled off even more badly. I used a Scotch tape,it's done the damage

Hey brother! This video is awesome. The cheapest and easiest way how to remove the scratched anti glare on the lenses. Thank you 🙏 stay safe bro!

Wow thank you I tried it and it actually works. 😅

Love you bro it works I had left wearing this from past 4 years sake of the same issue I got the solution now with your helpful video again happy wearing it thank you so much

I m having the same condition with my Oakley Valve Sunglass.. Hope It will help. and i will give the feedback soon.

Thank you goggles and sun glasses repaired so simple when you know how .

Just be careful doing this if it's on the iridium side- I just cleaned up several peeling pairs today from the early 2010s, then tried doing the 23k coating on the Oakley Dispatch Shawn White frame (after doing the Bruce Irons frame)- the coating came right off. Thankfully there are plenty of re-pros available of that 23k lens, and it's not a special lens with a one-off etching. These glasses were probably worn only 10-15 times tops btw, and they peeled on both sides. None of my x-metals experienced this issue.

Wow!! You are the best. Immensely thankful

Brilliant! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!!

Very nice tip, thanks a lot!

Thank You for saving me $350! So glad I ran across your video!

oomgg it works, oakley should give u new glasses if they watch this

This is amazing ! Awesome lesson from you Thxz!

Worked like a charm! I'd give it two thumbs up if I could. Thanks!

I can't believe it worked. Thanks for the video!

Man I was just about to throw two lenses from a limited edition Tour de France run of 2007/8. Got a single replacement lens that cost USD150, but now off to the shop to get some tape. I will post before / after shots. Absolutely nothing to loose here!! Thanks.

it worked! I had doubts initially but it worked :)

Thanks so much, this worked perfectly!!

Thanks for the video, I have some oakley thinlinks I drop they're black gloss the frame, would you know of anything to reshine them up just the frame?

Nice... Gonna fix my oakley latch soon.. 👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing, worked wonderfully. Thanxx

its worked thank you

Once its peeling a mate from work said I can take my Oakley's to get a new peel put once the old one is removed. Will check local shops to see what they can do.

I’ve just ruined my pair of glasses at fist it worked but the it took it so far although they were ruin already so it was this or nothing.

Yea also the great thing with oaks is you can buy just a new lenses if you want to u ain’t gatta get a whole new glass cause every part of oaks can come apart it all just snaps together so u can replace a lense or an arm whatever u need and your not having to spend 200$ again for the whole new glass at least ya got that going for ya Oakley

Man, your procedure really worked for me. :-) thanks.

How can they sell so crappy glasses so expensive ?? I've never seen that on Maui Jim brand for example.

Does that no defeat the purpose of wearing them if the protective AR coating is removed??

Will it work on red Prizm lens also?

I wonder if that foil duct tape works better. I think it’s a stronger pull

This is life saver. Thanks

I kinda have the feeling you are just stripping off a layer or something. Not sure if it is UV protection or Pol-filter.

May I know what's causing these peeling?? I bought 2 pairs of replacement lenses from REVANT OPTICS for my OAKLEY VALVE, but after a month It's starting to have this dark spot and starting to spread and loose its mirror effect. Now It's plain black. wtf

How about i just tried this and it didnt work :(

Does this affect how well it works and would it harm your eyes? eg less UV protection or something?

Thanks Mate, that worked

My theory is that this coating serves no purpose and Oakley started putting it on their lenses so that they only last a few years. This way people are forced to either buy replacement lenses or new sunglasses every couple of years. I have three pairs of Oakleys that I bought in the early 2000s and none of them are showing any signs of this.

Sorry so what does this do exactly? Are you just peeling off the entire coating so it can be an even shade?

Wow.....it worked. Thank you.

Do you have any tip to prolong the life of the coating before this happens? Use oakley’s cleaning solution with the cleaning bag, soap, alcohol?

I think that anti scratch coating you peeled off now I think more vulnerable to scratch .. I wonder if there a way to recoat it.

love you man

Really worked for me!

what is this thing that is peeling? I have the same in my ray bans. Does it mean I may throw them out?

This worked! My Bolle's look 100x better! thank you :)

Was looking for mine too thanks

Sad to pay 200 $ to get crap product

It works but I dun understand why???

This trick does work, but please be careful! I did this with my ray bans and it took off the logo ):

Well i tried this and it didnt work :(

Thank you.....mate

made the old oakleys usable again

Omg it worked 😳 thank you so much!

The better option is to buy $20 sunglasses and replace them once a year or so and you can have several pairs and not worry about them. High end sunglasses are only marginally better quality. They basically would maybe be $30 if they were priced correctly. You are paying for the marketing of their brand name more then anything else.

Thank you

I enjoyed the video, but honest question, if your glasses are peeling, and you take off the what i would think of as the protective coating(UV??) wouldn't it be safer for your eye health, to purchase a new pair of sunglasses?

Thank you sir

Thank you much!

What is the reason for peeling???

I tried this metod with holbrook with bubble. I lost the bubbles but I get scratches in the lenses. How could i avoid these scratches in the next time that i do this?

Nice

is it good for eye after removing the coating?

Be warned! I just pealed off 1/4 of the mirroring on my half jackets trying to fix some minor bubbling using this method, completely ruined them

Wow. I Just thrown all original oakley peelled lenses... Sh*t dude. 😂

Didn't you just removed the UV protection?

Its not a repair. He is just removing the AR coating on the front and back of the lenses.. Oakley is Garbage. Just threw out a pair hardly ever wore them..

Just use replacement lenses, and no more peeling problems

Just buy Maui Jim. They will repair or replace their product. Best warranty in the business. No more Oakley for me.

don’t try it because make your lens peel off.....

i can't believe it works on my frogskin! thanks legend

Just buy uvex ,simple 😄

Big question is what is that layer being removed? If it’s anything to do with UV coating, you are all asking for trouble coz pupils dialate behind dark lenses thereby allowing even more damaging UV rays into the eye. That means cataract onset comes even earlier in life resulting in premature blindness. Do we know what we’re doing here? In any case, if it really IS a UV coating that peels off, Oakley really sucks big time! I’ve stopped wearing mine as a precaution.

glad i took sandpaper to mine before watching this

Do NOT try this crap method. The lenses will spoil more.
