You can replace the lenses on Oakley Holbrook OO9102 sunglasses by hand, without tools. The old lens comes out when you push it with your thumbs from the inside of the frame, and the new one is pressed in from the front until it clicks into place.
This Oakley Holbrook lens replacement guide was filmed in our workshop on a matte black OO9102. The video lasts 21 seconds and has no voice-over; below it you will find the same steps in writing, an illustration of each movement and the mistakes we see most often.
Quick summary: Oakley Holbrook OO9102 · size 55 or 57 · O Matter frame · no tools · no heat · lenses pressed into place.
Before you replace your Oakley Holbrook lenses
Check that your sunglasses are an OO9102
Oakley prints the code on the inside of the temple. You will see something like “OO9102-01 55□18 137”:
- OO9102 is the Holbrook model; the number after the dash is the colour.
- 55 is the lens size, the width of the lens in millimetres. The Holbrook comes in 55 and 57.
- 18 is the bridge and 137 the temple length.
Holbrook, Holbrook XL and Holbrook Metal do not share lenses
There are several Holbrooks and each one has its own lenses. If your temple says OO9417, you have a Holbrook XL: follow our guide on Oakley 9417 lens replacement or go straight to the Holbrook XL replacement lenses. If it says OO4123, it is the Holbrook Metal, a different model with its own Holbrook Metal lenses. And sizes 55 and 57 do not share lenses either, so always order your size.
If you cannot find the code, our guide to the Oakley serial number explains where to look, or send us a photo of your sunglasses and we will tell you which one it is.
What you need
- The new lenses in your size.
- A clean microfibre cloth on a clear table.
- Clean, dry hands. No tools are used in the video.
How to replace the lenses on Oakley Holbrook OO9102 sunglasses
1. Remove the old lens
- Open the temples and hold the frame with both hands, one on each side of the lens you are removing.
- Place both thumbs on the inner surface of the lens, the side facing your eyes.
- Push outwards firmly and steadily. The lens comes out of the groove and out of the front.
- Do it over the cloth and repeat on the other side.
2. Fit the new lens
Check the side and orientation before pressing: the curved side faces outwards and each lens has its own side. Original lenses have the Oakley logo etched in one corner. Our compatible lenses have no logo, so hold them against the rim and go by the shape.
- Hold the sunglasses with the front facing you.
- Slide one edge of the lens into the groove of the rim first, for example the temple side.
- With both thumbs, press the surface of the lens inwards while your other fingers support the frame from behind.
- Keep pressing around the lens until you feel the click: the lens is fully seated in the groove.
3. Check the fit
Run your finger all the way round: no part of the edge should be outside the rim. Try to turn the lens gently; if it moves, it is not seated properly or it is not your size. Clean the lenses with the cloth when you have finished.
Common mistakes with the Holbrook
- Ordering lenses for a Holbrook XL (OO9417) or Holbrook Metal (OO4123) for an OO9102.
- Mixing up sizes 55 and 57. Always check the temple.
- Pressing on the lens with your fingernails. Use the pads of your thumbs so you do not mark the coating.
- Levering with a screwdriver or heating the frame. It is not needed and can damage the O Matter.
- Twisting the frame too much. Pushing the lens is enough; the frame barely needs to flex.

Original Oakley Holbrook lenses
The Oakley Holbrook OO9102 original replacement lenses are the brand’s own lenses in sizes 55 and 57, with Prizm (also polarized) and Iridium technology. Choose them if you want your sunglasses exactly as they came.
Compatible lenses for the Oakley Holbrook
The compatible Oakley Holbrook OO9102 replacement lenses are made of polycarbonate with UV protection, in sizes 55 and 57. They come in classic and fashion colours, gradients, seven mirrored finishes, clear or photochromic, non-polarized or with Polarized Plus or Polarized Elite (the latter with anti-reflective coating). Photochromic lenses darken in the sun but do not become a standard sunglass lens. And one important point: they are not original Oakley lenses and do not carry the Oakley logo.
Prescription lenses for the Oakley Holbrook
The prescription lenses for Oakley Holbrook OO9102 are made in our workshop from your prescription, in size 57. They are single vision, for distance or reading, from −6 to +6 sphere and up to −2 cylinder. You can order them clear, as sun lenses, mirrored, polarized or Transitions Gen S photochromic. They ship in 3–6 working days and, as they are made to measure, cannot be returned.
