Removing old lenses from Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses

Step 1: Preparing Your Sunglasses

Before you begin, ensure you have a clean and clear workspace. Place a microfiber cloth on a flat surface to prevent any scratches during the lens removal process. Make sure your hands are clean to avoid smudging the lenses or frames.

Step 2: Removing the Old Fuel Cell Lenses

The Oakley Fuel Cell lenses are held in place by the durable O Matter™ frame, which has some flexibility but requires a precise technique to remove the lenses without damaging the frame.

Grip the Frame: Hold the sunglasses firmly by the top and bottom. Ensure you have a secure but gentle grip.

Apply Gentle Pressure: Using your thumbs, press on the backside of the lens near the outer corner (furthest from the nose bridge). Push the lens outwards while gently pulling the frame slightly apart with your fingers. The key is to apply even pressure – the lens should begin to pop out from the groove. Take your time to avoid stressing the frame.

Remove the Lens: Once the lens starts to pop out, carefully pull it free from the frame with your fingers. Repeat this process for the other lens.

Tips:

  • The Oakley Fuel Cell lenses can be removed by gently pulling the top of the frame up from the bottom edge and pushing the lens through the front.
  • The lenses are held in place by the durable O Matter™ frame, which has some flexibility.
  • Take your time and apply even pressure to avoid damaging the frame.

Installing new lenses

Step 1: Preparing Your Workspace

Before you begin, ensure you have a clean and clear workspace. Place a microfiber cloth on a flat surface to prevent any scratches to your lenses or frames during the installation process. It is also important to make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges on the lenses or frames.

Step 2: Removing the Old Lenses

The Oakley Fuel Cell lenses are secured in place by the durable O Matter™ frame. To remove the old lenses, follow these steps:

  • Grip the Frame: Hold the sunglasses firmly by the top and bottom of the frame, maintaining a secure yet gentle grip.
  • Apply Gentle Pressure: Using your thumbs, press on the backside of the lens, close to the outer corner, furthest from the nose bridge. As you do this, gently pull the frame apart with your fingers. The key is to apply even pressure so that the lens pops out from the groove. Take your time with this step to avoid putting too much stress on the frame.
  • Remove the Lens: Once the lens starts to come out, carefully pull it free from the frame using your fingers. Repeat this process for the other lens.

Step 3: Cleaning the Frame

With the old lenses removed, take the opportunity to clean your Oakley Fuel Cell frames. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the frames, removing any dust, dirt, or oils that may have built up over time. This step ensures that your new lenses will be installed in a clean and debris-free environment.

Step 4: Installing the New Lenses

Now it's time to install your new lenses. Here's how to do it:

  • Align the Lens: Start with one lens at a time. Hold the lens with the concave side facing inward. Begin by aligning the lens with the frame, positioning it into the groove near the nose bridge.
  • Pop the Lens into Place: Once the nose bridge side of the lens is securely in the groove, use your thumbs to gently press the lens into place, working your way from the nose bridge towards the outer edges. You should hear a slight "click" as the lens locks into the correct position. Make sure the lens is fully seated in the groove before moving on.
  • Repeat for the Other Lens: Follow the same steps to install the second lens, ensuring both lenses are properly aligned and secure within the frame.

Step 5: Inspect Your Work

After installing the new lenses, take a moment to inspect them for proper alignment. Gently flex the frame to ensure the lenses are securely seated and there are no gaps between the lenses and the frame. Finally, clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth to remove any fingerprints or smudges that may have occurred during the installation process.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Refreshed Sunglasses!

With your new Oakley Fuel Cell lenses installed, your sunglasses are ready to provide clear vision and style. Whether you chose polarized lenses to reduce glare or a mirrored finish for a new look, your sunglasses will perform like new. Don't forget to always store your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use and clean your lenses regularly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner to maintain optimal clarity.

Lens type options

Oakley Fuel Cell lenses can be replaced with Oakley's authentic lenses, which are manufactured to meet the company's quality and optical clarity standards. These lenses are designed to work seamlessly with Oakley frames to deliver optimal fit and comfort, impact protection, and HDO® optics.

There are a variety of lens types available for the Oakley Fuel Cell, including:

  • Stealth Black: These lenses cut glare and block 88% of visible light, with a neutral tint to avoid any purple shades. They are best suited for bright light conditions, with 12% light transmission and an anti-scratch protective coating.
  • Dark Brown: These lenses are designed for everyday use and provide a neutral view, offering true color perception.
  • Gray Green: This lens option offers a combination of grey and green tints, providing a unique visual experience.
  • Crystal Clear: These lenses offer a clear view, allowing you to see the world in its natural state without any tint or color alteration.
  • Adapt Gray Photochromic: These lenses are designed to adapt to changing light conditions, providing optimal visibility in various environments.
  • MirrorShield®: This series of lenses features a range of colors, including Midnight Sun, Fire Red, Rose Gold, Flare Gold, Emerald Green, Ice Blue, Tidal Blue, Plasma Purple, Black Chrome, and Titanium. These lenses add a stylish mirror finish to your Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses, enhancing your look.

Additionally, you can choose between polarized and non-polarized lenses. Polarized lenses are an excellent option if you want to reduce glare and improve visibility, especially near water or during outdoor activities. They are ideal for activities like fishing, boating, or driving, as they cut through reflected glare, enhancing color perception and clarity. On the other hand, non-polarized lenses are a more affordable option that still offers adequate protection and visual comfort.

Lens care

To care for your Oakley Fuel Cell lenses, it is important to take proper steps to protect and maintain them. Here are some tips to help you care for your lenses:

  • Scratch Protection: Oakley Fuel Cell lenses are designed to be scratch-resistant, but it is still important to handle them with care. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers or placing them on rough surfaces. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the lenses and store them in a protective case when not in use.
  • Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion. This will help remove any dirt, fingerprints, or smudges while also protecting the lens surface. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as they can be too rough and may scratch the lenses.
  • Saltwater Protection: If you are using your Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses near saltwater, rinse the lenses with fresh water after each use to remove any salt residue. Saltwater can damage the lens coating over time, so proper rinsing is essential.
  • UV Protection: Oakley Fuel Cell lenses offer 100% protection against harmful UV rays. This means you can wear them confidently, knowing your eyes are protected from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
  • Hydrophobic Coating: Oakley Fuel Cell lenses feature a hydrophobic coating that repels water and sweat. This coating helps to prevent water droplets and sweat from sticking to the lenses, improving your vision during rainy days or intense workouts.
  • Oleophobic Coating: The oleophobic coating on Oakley Fuel Cell lenses protects against fingerprint smudges and facial oils. This coating makes it easier to keep your lenses clean and ensures that oils don't affect your vision.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses in a protective case or bag. This will help keep them safe from scratches and other damage.
  • Replacement: If your lenses do become scratched or damaged, you can replace them with authentic Oakley Fuel Cell replacement lenses. These replacement lenses are designed to meet Oakley's quality and optical clarity standards, ensuring your sunglasses perform as expected.

By following these lens care tips, you can help extend the life of your Oakley Fuel Cell lenses and maintain optimal performance and clarity.

Frequently asked questions

Oakley Fuel Cell lenses can scratch, get damaged, or simply wear out. If you notice any scratches or damage to your lenses, or if they are no longer providing clear vision, it may be time to replace them.

To remove the old lenses, grip the frame firmly by the top and bottom, then use your thumbs to press on the backside of the lens near the outer corner. Push the lens outwards while pulling the frame slightly apart. Take your time and be gentle to avoid damaging the frame. Once the lens starts to come out, carefully pull it free.

First, make sure your workspace is clean and clear, and place a microfiber cloth on a flat surface to prevent scratches. Hold one lens at a time with the concave side facing inward, and align it with the frame, starting at the nose bridge. Gently press the lens into the groove, working your way outwards and applying slight pressure until you hear a "click". Repeat for the other lens, then check that both lenses are properly aligned and secure.
