However, if the sunglasses have nothing written on the inside of the arm, you can custom design any lens to fit your frames. The model number of the sunglasses is usually located on the inside left arm. The first group of digits is the model number and further down you can find two numbers before a small square which indicates the size of your replacement lenses. This is of vital importance, as the brand might have a variety of different sizes within the same model or style. Once you have figured that out, you can order your new HD Oakley replacement lenses from the chosen reliable and trustworthy supplier.
