Sunglasses

I have a pair of Oakley Sunglasses but i happened to get a huge scratch that distorted the polarization of lens. I don't know to much on sun glasses but is there like a store that will repolarize my sunglasses or do i just buy new ones :O

Well I believe you can do 1 of 2 things, either take it into an Oakley store and they can either send it out to get the lenses replaced or they might be able to do it in-store... The other thing would be to send it to Oakley and have them replace them and send it directly back to you.

I've never owned Oakley's before but thats what I do with my Spy glasses when I need them replaced

The stores usually stock the lenses. Depending on the type they're $40-$80 iirc.

Reminds me that I need to get mine replaced.

Oakley stores are usually pretty good about swapping lenses (not always free), I've done it a few times at the Santana Row store.

You can always replace the lens. Judging by the fact that you aren't heartbroken, I'll assume that they are o-matter (plastic).

I won't let anyone handle my Juliets or Pit Bosses. I was once in the O Store and they had to ship out 67 pairs that THEY HAD STRIPPED THEMSELVES.

That being said, plastic is easy to replace, pop out the old lenses and pop the new ones in. (make sure you are putting in the correct side.

You must have done something weird for them to do that. One time I managed to headbutt a item hangar at a kragans, and it put a nice scratch on them, but didn't distort the polarization.
