Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Oakley Sutro Lenses

Replacing your Oakley Sutro lenses can be done in a few simple steps. Watch our video tutorial below, or use the written instructions to guide you through the process.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

  • A clean, flat surface
  • A microfiber cloth
  • Replacement lenses

Step 2: Remove the Old Sutro Lenses

  1. Start by flipping your Sutro lenses towards you, as if you’re putting them on.
  2. Gently push the existing lenses from the back to its outside bottom position (be sure to have a good grip on the glasses frame while doing this).
  3. This next step requires a bit more force – Place two fingers on the front of the frame in the center near the nose bridge, and your thumb on the inner part of the bar (the lenses should be in a downward position).
  4. From here, pull up on the frame and stretch it slightly while pushing outward with your thumbs near the front. This should neatly pop the existing lenses out.

Step 3: Clean the Frame

Use a microfiber cloth to clean the frame and remove any debris or fingerprints.

Step 4: Install the New Oakley Sutro Lenses

  1. To put the replacement lens back on, start by pressing the lens near the nose bridge – There should be a very clear slot.
  2. Confirm that the lens is all the way in, press straight down, and walk your fingers around the entirety of the glasses frame to ensure everything is locked in evenly.

Step 5: Final Check

Inspect the new replacement lens to make sure it's properly seated and there are no gaps.
