Wonderful this works... I used it to clean the damaged outer coating of my rayban glass... and it did wonders in five mins...of course the glass is no more polarised, but is still better than what it was looking with blisters all around....
It’s not the polarization filter you’re removing, it’s the anti scratch coating that peels off.
I tried it to my Oakley Straight lens.. 100% worked.. soo happy.. Thank you for such nice solution..
Santosh Chodisetty you’re welcome.
@@TaMYotneR Is that just sticky tape please ?
skyelark155 yes just a scotch tape. 😀
Wow it worked. I got 450$ Ray's thought I'd never wear them only for mowing lawn. After watching this I tried it. I have glass lenses nothing to loose. Thank you.😎 Good as new, even polaride was not effected.

Just a tip, its better to remove the lens first from the frame before cleaning it
Excellent. I've had a pair of my wife's Smiths waiting for me to figure out a fix for this exact issue. I just used this tape trick on them, with patience and persistence....them polished them with some Novus #2 polish, and wow!
Does the polish alone work?
OMG You're amazing! You just saved me from buying a new pair of Ray Bans!
Who knew that waxing my sunglasses would save them! Thank you!!

So my frogskins started to do this after only 16 month and I only noticed whilst on holiday - at first I just thought it was dirt or soap and I'd wait until I got home to sort it. Obiously I couldnt get it off then found this vid. After some deliberation (we all know how most top tips on the net end up) I just did this and it worked! Thanks
I have a large collection of Oakley and 3 pairs all went the same way. I love the style of Oakley but its very apparent the lense quality is akin to some Chinese sweat shop copy. Buy after market lenses instead and I am currently trialling a reasonable price alternative from Blazerbuck Anti-Salt and polarised.
Ohhh I shall look them up need some new flack jacket lenses thank you so much 😊
it worked and saved a lot of money,, Thank you for the tip,, Bless You..
Many thanks, this really worked on my Oakley Half Jackets. I simply took the lenses off the frame did the tape trick and polished, good as newish. Thanks
Glad it helped
Expensive sunglasses shouldn't start to peel in first place..
Raico Rosenberg i agree. My husband has the same complain over and over again but i don’t know why he keeps on buying the same brand. Their sucks!

Maybe those thin leyers that crack is just a marketing strategy of the sunglases companies for them to sell their lenses. 😁
totally worked, i suggest that you remove the lens before doing it though
How do I remove the reflective lens? I need to do so because of scratches.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. It worked! I just got a replacement pair of lenses BUT at least my old ones can serve as a spare. Where can i buy a REPLACEMENT FRAME for my old lenses? Is there a CHEAPER alternative? Since it's only my spare?
Hi Gerry. Glad I’ve helped. I think they don’t sell the frame only. You know Oakley’s frame are very durable. My Oakley Half Jacket is still with me since I bought it in Japan in 2004. Still shining like a gold! 😀
I had this happen to my Juicy Couture sunglasses. I used crest 3-D whitening tooth paste and it took the frosted peelings off completely!
But did it scratch the lenses?
worked perfectly on my prada
Thank you good sir ❤ worked
Thank u for the tip buddy.... Just replied my sun glasses using ur trick
Worked awesome thanks mate 😁
Thanks, it really" worked
why does lenses do this? can you explain?
I’m not an expert but based on experience, I think this stuff is marketing strategy. I have a couple of Oakley’s in my collection but peeling of lenses only happens to the one’s with a replaceable lenses. Like for example it happens to my Oakley Half Jacket, Oakley Scalpel and Oakley Frogskins. But it never happens to my Oakley Zero and Oakley Half X. My Zero, Scalpel, Frogskins and Half X been with me for 12 years now and my Half Jacket been with me for 18 years now. I don’t mind replacing the lenses as long as the frames stay solid as a rock!!!

I got the same problem with my Rayban. I fixed it by scotch tape method after watching your video. Many thanks! I’m afraid that UV layer is gone or something. Could you please tell

Hey man thanks so much for the tip I thought I ruined my glasses this helps a lot thank you so much :))))))
You're welcome! Greatly appreciate if you like and subscribe to my channel. Thanks.
I have a pair of radar paths purchased in 2007 black irridium & blue irridium lenses, no probs whatsoever.
Also in 2010 i purchased a pair of split jacket 'infinite heros' violet irridium, a pair of M2 jade irridium, and 2 yrs ago a pair of Jupiter squared black irridium polarized.
ALL of them are in pristine condition, no problems whatsoever (apart from the swapping out of ear socks on my Radars)
ALL of them are cleaned after EVERY time i wear them with a drop of dish washing liquid on each lens, gently rubbed with the pad of my thumb, then rinsed in cold water & then i lay them on a kitchen towel to drip dry (streaks are removed when its time to wear them with the microfibre bag).
Imo, all those fancy cleaners/spray coatings are the problem. That and obviously misuse (eg sweating whilst wearing them & not bothering to clean them the same day of use).
Kkorkykatt thank you for your suggestions. 😀
As much as Oakleys cost they should never peel I don't care how you wear them. Gas station glasses last longer and all the want to do is offer 30% off a new pair pass!! I spent over $500 for two pair the same day never again!
Thanx, gave new life to glasses

is that scotch tape?
This worked on my Wiley X Harley sunglasses
Thanks 😊. Please share and subscribe!
People, please don't do this. Even if the lenses look almost brand new again, potentially you will be removing the UV protection or the polarized coating.
Better to remove the polarized film than to have a blurred vision.
i have tried this its work
Will they still remain polarised?
Sorry for the late reply. I think the polarization is on the lens itself. If your lens is polarized and the coating peels off, the lens will still remain polarized. Please correct me guys if I'm wrong.
@@TaMYotneR will try it n let u know
What dors the coating actually do? Would the glass performance degrade after removing the coating?
@@MrHellrider9 no,,it will remain as good as it was
@@TaMYotneR I bought my Oakleys at an Oakley shop and for $20 or $30 it was suggested I get the polarised film added. They took the glasses out to the workspace and added the film while I waited.
thanks bro
l only buy oakley because the only frame l like is juliet but l just buy custom cut lenses.
I thought is just a joke, but it works for real.
thanks

I’ve 3 pairs of Oakley’s, Matrix series, Crosshair Ducati series and wraps Ducati... sadly all are peeling off. Never buy Oakley
Thats not oakley's fault,thats luxxotica

Does this process removed the polarized film on rayban aviator?
chito angelio the polarised film are applied on both, front and back of the lens. Because of sweat and not cleaning the lens, usually the first one to peel is the back or the inner part of the lens. So yes it will remove during this process.
Thanks sir for the reply but i have another question.. is there a way to replace the polarized film on the back side of rayban?
chito angelio I think there’s no way for us to do that unless we have a machine Oakley or Ray-ban have.
Oakley sunglasses are shit. I've had two pairs of different models and they both started to peel/bubble. I only buy Native now. Native Sunglasses have a lifetime warranty! Can't beat that!
Whats Native....???
Native?
Native ?
@TaM Yotner i have a 25 year old gold brown ray ban aviator
The lenses have started peeling and i decided to replace them(due to their age)Does ray ban sell replacement lenses ??If so , what is the price??
If not , where to get the best replacement lenses and what will be the approximate cost??
Hi Sabitra, sorry I don't if know if Rayban has replacement lenses. All I know is that Rayban lens is not removable.-
Im gonna try this, mines are in REALLY bad shape. Just order replacement lenses anyways so...
is it good for eye after removing the coating?
stan2098 I think the right question is, “is it good for the eye after removing the broken or peeled coating?” My answer is, Yes of course!.
It worked!!! 👍
Its okay for jeans to fade.. For boots to crack... They're just like old friends they get better as they grow old.. BUT not for an Oakley sunglasses.. Man, You lost the Coolnes in cool!
But fact is it is removing a coating. Removing makes the absence of that layer. And don't know how it effects the polorization.
akhil sankar change is not noticeable really. Maybe because it has another coat on the front lens.
YotneR Family you are right, I see only a transparent coating sticks to the tape after removing from back side of the glass. And tested if polorization is effected or not, it was safe. Don't know what purpose Oakley used the coating for?
akhil sankar May be UV400 ??
it could be part of the pol filter or even the UV Filter !
Didn't work for me I'm afraid 😔
Nice
😊 thx
But are they safe to wear again? Isn't that film part of the UV protection?
Daniel Lee It is much safer than not removing it and wait until parts of it goes in to your eye😀. Even it was removed, there is still UV protection in front of the lens so it should be fine. I’m still wearing it and still protects my eyes.
YotneR Family You can’t be completely sure they’re still protecting your eyes though. I think we both better take them to an optometrist to be sure
@@daniellee1722 The UV protection is built into the lense.
@@daniellee1722 I am pretty sure it's the polaroid add on film only. I bought my Oakleys at an Oakley shop and for $20 or $30 it was suggested I get the film added. They took the glasses out to the work space and added the film while I waited.
Same happend with my Rayben Chromance
@TaM YotneR Brother.. I have an Oakley Level Wraparound Goggle. But it has started peeling and scratching on front sides. Inside it is little bit peeled. Can I use this method on front sides? It happened after around 6-6.5 years after purchase.. Please please please reply.. I want to make it perfect again.
Hi brother, Yes the same method will do on the front side. Sorry for the late reply, was busy at work. Thanks for the subs.
how long takes it with a new oakley,before this peeling happens?
Selcuk Sahin mine takes 4 years but it’s not really used on a daily basis because I have another Oakley’s that I used. Another reason I think that the lens starts to peel is the sea water because I used it when swimming to the beach.
Mine started after less than a month
I own my Oakley Frogskin with polarized lenses since 2015 and it started to peel a year ago. I have always been careful with it, clean it only with pH-adjusted soap water, carried it in its bag and kept it away from dust and sand.
How many have tried this?
I'm afraid to do it. Please try those who have hard balls and give us the feedback.
akhil sankar I’ve done this with my Oakley Half Jacket XLJ lens, Oakley Scalpel lens and Oakley Frogskin lens. Just be careful not to stick the tape on the front lens! Because if that happens you will surely cry...
YotneR Family I tried it on my Oakley polarized square wishker on the back side of glass and it worked pretty well. Thanks a lot for motivating me to do this.
akhil sankar you’re welcome...
@@TaMYotneR I am crying! 😓
@@TaMYotneR why can’t i peek from the front what would happen as mine is only on front of glasses thank u
Perfect 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks! Please share and subscribe, thanks 😊
How do I remove the reflective coating? I have scratches and can't see out.
Michael Noeth Hi Michael, if the tape can’t successfully remove it I can’t think of any other solution. Maybe try a packing tape. I think it is more sticky but just be very careful not to leave the sticky solution into the lens. If that happens just use baby oil in a cotton and gently remove it and then wash the lens with dishwashing liquid and water. Let us know what happens after yeah.
I'll try the full process tonight. I was afraid that my lens didn't have the tape, I'm not sure how to tell since they're so dark. Update soon.
@@woophereigo9755 a warm to hot water will do. Use your oakley pouch.
This ruined my glasses even more 😂😂😂
Salamat tips hehe
walang anuman kabayan!
Only for grey color. I tried with gold and it peeled off!
Same with my blue ones, watch out !!!!!!!!
I messed them up even more cus I used brown tape and the tape got stuck on the lenses
Edgar Duran there’s a fix for that. Put Johnson’s baby oil or any baby oil on the cotton. Use it and wipe gently on the lens that’s has the sticky material from the tape. Once removed, wash the lens with dishwashing liquid. Hope this fix the issue.
YotneR Family too late. I used nail polish and they got opaqued . I don’t think there’s a fix for that 😪
Edgar Duran Will let it dry for a couple of days. Once you decide you want it to peel the nail polish, do it in a running water in your faucet. Use the cloth that comes with your lens
They peel because you leave them in the hot car…
My 3 year old titanium square wires peeled on the inside in only a few years and between oakley and sunglass hut I heard 100 lame reasons like I'm the only person ever complain
Is that cello tape?
Can you do it on the front??
Please reply.. 😎👦
Kalavathi Poonacha Yes you can if it starting to peel.
Where do u get the replacing film for the sunglasses?
Facebook U know as you can see in the video, I’m removing the already broken/peeling lens coat using a scotch tape. I’m not replacing it. I think the outer and inner lens coat is added during the production of the lens. Once it expires, you can’t do anything but totally removes it or buy a new lens from Oakley.
It pathetic we spend premium and expect superiority quality yet they can't do decent job designing to projective coating from being ruined 👎
never buy Oakley
Oakley sunglasses are pieces of s***. I've had two pairs fail. And when I called Oakley and ask them what or why were they peeling? They asked me what I was using to clean the lenses with. And I told him lens cleaner and a cloth they said well there you go you shouldn't be using the lens cleaner.
In general, wash your sunglasses with dawn dish soap, and pat them dry.
@@curlyhairdudeify Exactly! I have a pair of radar paths purchased in 2007 black irridium & blue irridium lenses, no probs whatsoever.

@@Kkorkykatt I couldn't agree more. I wash my eyeglasses, and sunglasses after work or going out since I use sunblock being that both sweat and sunblock eat away the plastic components. Especially, acetate. How I hate acetate. Of course the cleaning liquid, and the "cleaning cloth" ruin the lenses. I see it as as "cleaning" a pane of glass covered in sand, and and dirt with sprayed water while rubbing it clean with a rag. The only thing that will happen over time are scratches. While the best way is to hose it down.
@@curlyhairdudeify Yes sir-lets hope that some people out there take our advice, it will result in less pissed off Oakley (or any other mirrored lens glasses) owners ;)
@@Kkorkykatt I have a pair of Frogskins and X-Metals bought more than 20 years ago and the lenses are mint ok. I wash them with non-perfume soap, rinse under tap and drip dry. Clean with the baggie cloth and store in Oakley case in a drawer when not in use. That is 20 plus year old glasses. I have a range of Oakley which I treat the same and bought within a period of approximately 3 years being the oldest of the new breed. 4 pairs from M-FRAME safety glasses, LATCH, GARAGE ROCK & FROGSKINS all peeled and only fit for the junk unless the aftermarket lenses I have ordered work out. Nothing to do with the user, the quality is not there anymore I have proof of that.
You stop paying 100$ for cheaply made sunglasses.
congratulations, you ripped off the polarization layer or the UV protection :)
That is applied on the outside of the lenses.
What does it matter, when the layer is going to shit anyway. She just turned her failing polarization lenses into the standard ones. Better than having lenses that will blur in some parts and look like shit. Shouldn’t have peeled in the first place.
Stop buying product from Luxoticca monopoly selfish company!! When they bought Oakley and Ray-Ban the price went to the roof 4x 😡
Ya,it is a rip off ! Oakley is not good at all. Happened to me on a new Pitt bull glasses I bought three years ago and worn it about ten times only for riding.They don’t even sell the lenses any more.Don’t ever buy Oakley !
Yeah....Oakley lens are the most defective in the market..........
Mainam to bro. Mas maganda if tinanggal mo ang lens
You're correct Bro, mas madaling gawin if nakahiwalay ung lens sa frame and maybe nakapatong sa towel or soft surface.

You should never remove that, actually if that happens you should get new lenses or new pair of glasses. Your eye health is in danger doing this, also sunglasses should be replaced every 3 years if in good shape or before if something like this happens. You are not fixing the problem.
Don't buy oakley you won't have this problem lol
Dont buy fake Oakley's
@@sikjuice real oakleys do this as well. That's what happen when a product is designed based on popularity and not function. Just like crapple.
