Oakley

Synsenteret Stavanger has a large variety of Oakley sunglasses. The sunglasses all offer 100 % UV protection, and some of the models have polarized lenses. We also carry glasses, ski goggles, and protective eyewear from Oakley.

Our vision is extra important to protect from dangerous UV rays and you do that by wearing sunglasses. If you want prescription sunglasses, we recommend that you set up an appointment for an eye test first, so that you get the right fit. If it’s been a while since your last vision check, it may be a good idea to book a vision test with one of our opticians. Our opticians will then check any vision changes, in addition to general eye health.

Oakley was established by Jim Jannard in Foothill Ranch, California in 1975. The company got its name after the founder’s English Setter dog, Oakley. The Oakley success started with Jannard selling motorcycle grips from the trunk of his car at motorcycle events. The grip was made from a material created by Jannard, called Unobtanium. Unobtanium is still used to create Oakley parts, such as nose pads and ear sockets. Five years after Oakley was established, the company started designing sunglasses, and later glasses. Since then the Oakley portfolio has expanded to include everything from eyewear to snowboard boots.
