Unfortunately as a dealer I am unable to order Oakley with prescription lenses. Maui Jim and Kaenon I can though!

No problem, thanks for the answer; we’re still stop by to check the store out.

Select oakley stores can do this. Like a real oakley retail location. Not a sunglass hut etc
There is one in down town san diego.
Yeah, when I was working, I used to go to their employee store in Lake Forest, but as a retiree, I am no longer eligible.

Last year I went to Costco, they sometimes have a limited supply of Oakley frames, but the optics were a little off, and that really screws with the eyes in progressive lenses...

Thanks

For sure. You can send them back to VZ and they will replace the lenses. Cheaper to replace the lenses than me buying a new pair. Still might grab another pair though......lol.

It’s not select Oakley stores that can do it. Specifically sunglass hut may be able to do it, they are owned by luxottica who owns Oakley and several other brands.

Theres a good 60 minutes on luxottica if you haven't seen it.
Interesting company that sorta silently monopolized the industry

I did some research and I was incorrect..... If a retailer has a licensed Optician on staff they can sell RX products.

Just wanted to clarify since my understanding was incorrect!

Thanks Chris for the sunglasses today. The lenses are really amazing on the Kaenons.

Chris put up with the wife while she tried on every pair in the store, offered me a beer and answered all of the questions we had.

PS: I didn’t head to that secret beach spot because it got too dark but I’ll find it and report back. Thanks again.

My wife and I went in today and met with Chris. Chris is a super nice guy and spent the time with us needed for my wife to make a purchase. I highly recommend Chris and his store if you are looking for a pair of sunglasses!

I would be in on four pairs of shooting glasses.

I can have lenses made for shooting glasses or I can probably get some ordered up. Do you guys have a style or brand you prefer?

My old eyes need prescription lenses these days...

And I was tested to be left eye dominant. Not good for shooting, since I'm right handed.

I have to put tape over the left lens when I'm shooting at clay birds! LoL

Did you ever get a website up? My wife needs a pair of Costas.

I have a pair of scratched Oakley Holbrook Metal. They don’t offer replacement lens for them. Or I couldn’t find them.

I have not got my website up yet, and I still haven’t heard from the costa rep. But I believe I can get the lenses for your Oakley’s!

@Devious_Chris do you guys carry persol’s? I’m about to buy a pair on Amazon or eBay but will be in havasu next week and would rather give Brick and Mordor and RDP’r the biz.

Yes sir we just got a fresh shipment of Persol and Oliver Peoples. Be sure to mention RDP and take advantage of the RDP discount! I really appreciate you giving the opportunity to earn your business! We are open 10-5 every day

Awesome! I've been wanting to get myself a pair of Costa's. When do you expect to have them in stock?

They have shipped but I don’t have tracking yet. My rep is in my shop right now trying to help figure out where they are

I was in Destin, Florida a few weeks ago at the beach on a cloudy day. My Oakleys were fogging up to the point that I couldn't see through them. My friend's Costa's were perfectly clear and the blue tint made it really easy to see the water.

Glass lens Costas are the way to go. I was driving one day and the wife was complaining about her sunglasses some cheapo ray-ban types. So I told her to wear my Costas and see the difference. She could not believe the clarity difference. I made sure to get her a pair for Christmas.
