Is it possible to get genuine replacement lenses for the older oakley glasses, Ive got a set of Monster Dogs with Tungsten Iridium lenses that are fairly scratched and would be great to replace them. How easy are the lenses to replace in the older solid frames without damaging the frame or the lens?
I've seen non genuine replacements offered for sale on ebay but never the genuine ones.
If you can't find genuine Oakleys then Revant and Fuse optics both have good reputations for making decent replacement lenses - the old lenses will mostly just pop out with a bit of a shove.
I've used Revant lenses for my old Half Jackets. Was pretty happy with them. You can buy them through Amazon easily enough too.
I'd contradict your opinion of Revant lenses - the coating started to peel off mine within a few weeks of receiving them. Fair enough they will replace them but its a regular thing if you read online reviews. They are also a lot thinner than genuine lenses so don't fit as well.
Drop Oakley europe an email, they'll let you know if they're still available and if not they might even give you a discount on some new ones.
Oakley Europe have just moved premises back to the Netherlands. You might be better off calling the HQ in foothills ranch. The repair store there have racks and racks of spares. +1 (949) 672-6925
revant have always been great for me
Do you have a receipt for them? Might be a long shot but I had some 5 year old Holbrook's that I ordered online so had a confirmation still in my inbox. Anyway, contacted Oakley about purchasing some replacements, they sent me a form to fill in and I sent it back with a copy of the receipt then they just sent me some new lenses free of charge. Got to be worth a go.

Aye, got a pair of lenses for my fuel cells over a year ago, great, prefer them to the originals. I'm waiting on another set of lenses form Revant for my Gascans.
But yes, try Oakley first, I've had some brilliant service from them over the years.
Wee update on Revant.
Gascan lenses finally arrived yesterday, with a wee VAT bill of £5.46 - no worries. £8 handling fee is a bit much, so factor this in with your purchase. I'll go back to Walleva lenses next time, but they didn't do the ones I needed this time unfortunately.
Still cheaper and as good as Oakley mind.
