Hello, need to replace lenses in my aging Oakley X10. Anyone recommend some?
Had found these https://www.thesunglassfix.com/uk/oakley-ten-new-sunglass-lenses-60mm-61mm-wide
But noticed coming from Australia, seems a bit extreme. Had previously bought some off Ebay, but they were rubbish so keen to avoid same.
Cheers, Niall
Isn't the standard answer normally Oakley, or Revant?
Revant have been good for me in the past: Oakley Ten OO9128 Replacement Lenses by Revant Optics
I’ve just had a set on lenses delivered by Sunglassesfix. Seem decent, well packaged and arrived at in about a week.
I've had both Revant and Sunglassesfix, both fine. I went with Revant off Amazon last time as the delivery time was quicker and there was very little in the price,
Thanks all, have had a look at both briefly- doesn't seem to be much pricewise between them.
Shall have proper look tonight and decide colour and get ordered.
Ordered for Sunglass Fix, thanks all.
The difference between Revant and Sunglasses Fix is that each does lenses the other doesn’t or can’t. Sunglasses Fix can’t do one-piece lenses like M-Frames, for example, whereas Revant can. Also, Revant have only just come back onto the U.K./Europe market. I recently bought a Fire Iridium copy for my M-Frame Si frame, which is different to the standard M-Frame, and Revant could do those, whereas Sunglasses Fix can’t. I’ve also got some lenses coming from Sunglasses Fix for a pair of Oakley WHY-4 titanium frames which were only available as Rx prescription lenses, and Oakley no longer produces lenses for those frames.
It is possible to get lenses from Amazon for some Oakley frames, from Galaxylens, ThunderClap, MRYLens, but I don’t know how wide a range they cover - I’ve bought a number of different colour lenses, including a grey photoreactive lens for my Si M-Frames, they were about £11-12, and work really well, and cheap enough to buy several sets in case of damage.
Optically, they seem pretty good, I’ve not noticed much in the way of aberration or distortion, so good for wearing as safety lenses, although they probably won’t be good for much more than hedge cutting, using a grass strimmer.
The Si M-Frame actually comes with an extra-thick clear lens for use in combat situations for shrapnel protection, but that’s what the Si spec is about, it’s also why they’re available in the U.K. from someone called Mojo as industrial PPE, which is where I got mine from. Good riding glasses, too.
Just a quick update to my Sunglasses Fix post, I ordered the lenses on the 21 of May, they’re now with the courier in the U.K., so hopefully delivery tomorrow. Which isn’t bad from literally the other side of the world!
Quick update - My sunglasses fix lenses arrived yesterday, fitted them last night.
Ordered the 'purple blue mirror' tint - tried them this morning and really impressed with clarity of them. Wife has a couple of pairs of Oakley needing lenses, so will be looking for more from them or Revant - depending who makes them for those models.
Here’s my two pairs of WHY 4 glasses, the blue ones are the oldest, the red ones are a second pair I managed to find on eBay, as a just-in-case backup pair, but I wear both, depending on mood, and the lenses are a slightly different colour tint when wearing them. I love them, they weigh virtually nothing.
A bit of a phaff changing the lenses, what with little screws and no actual frame.
Just so people know what I’m whittering on about regarding the Si M-Frames, here they are with the photo-reactive lenses fitted, and the Revant Fire Red lenses.
The little hole is where the pin behind the clip on the top of the frame drops in.

Just in case anyone’s wondering what I’m on about regarding the Oakley M-Frame Si, here they are with the photo-reactive lens I got from Amazon, and the Revant Fire lens, both are the Strike format. You can see the little hole in the top of the lens where the retaining pin on the clip at the top of the frame drops in.
Apologies for the repeated posts, the additional comments and photo refused to show up, which hasn’t happened for some time, now there’s a bunch of repeated posts. 😖
If there’s any way the mods can delete the extra ones, that would be spiffy, but if not, sorry about that. 🤷🏼♂️
