Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses are known for their sleek, modern design and their sturdy frames, making them a popular choice for both style and performance. However, like all sunglasses, the lenses can eventually scratch, get damaged, or simply wear out. Replacing your Oakley Fuel Cell lenses is a simple process that can extend the life of your favorite shades and refresh your vision.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to replace your Fuel Cell lenses with ease, so you can get back to seeing clearly and looking sharp.
What You'll Need
- Your Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses
- Oakley Fuel Cell replacement lenses (Revant offers a wide range of replacement lenses tailored for Oakley Fuel Cell sunglasses, including polarized, mirrored, and non-polarized options)
- A microfiber cleaning cloth
- A flat surface
Replacing your Fuel Cell lenses can easily be done in just a few steps – Watch the video tutorial below, or use the written instructions to walk you through the process.
Step 1: Preparing Your Sunglasses
Before you begin, it’s essential to have a clean and clear workspace. Place a microfiber cloth on a flat surface to prevent any scratches during the replacement 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. Follow these steps:
- Grip the Frame: Hold the sunglasses firmly by the top and bottom of the frame. 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 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, use your fingers to carefully pull it free from the frame. Repeat this process for the other lens.
Step 3: Cleaning your Sunglass Frame
With the old lenses removed, it’s a great 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 accumulated over time. This step ensures your new lenses will be installed in a clean, debris-free environment.
Step 4: Installing the New Fuel Cell Lenses
Now that your frame is ready, it’s time to install your new lenses.
- Align the Lens: Start with one lens at a time. Hold the lens with the concave side facing inward. Align the lens with the frame, starting by 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 apply gentle pressure around the edges of the lens, working your way from the nose bridge toward the outer edges. You should hear a slight “click” as the lens locks into place. 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. Ensure both lenses are properly aligned and secure within the frame.
Step 5: Check 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. Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth to remove any fingerprints or smudges that may have been left during the installation process.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Refreshed Sunglasses!
With your new Oakley Fuel Cell lenses installed, your sunglasses are now ready to protect your eyes in style. Whether you opted for polarized lenses to cut down on glare or a mirrored finish for a bold new look, your sunglasses will perform like new.
Additional Tips for Lens Care:

- Clean your lenses regularly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner designed for eyewear to maintain optimal clarity.
