Oakley 9253 Industrial Det Cord Prescription Safety Glasses – Satin Black, 61mm

The Oakley 9253 Industrial Det Cord in Satin Black is Oakley’s safety-rated wrap frame with clear lenses — an O-Matter frame marked to ANSI Z87 that takes a full prescription, for people who want proper safety eyewear that still looks like Oakley.

Standard: Oakley publishes the 9253 as ANSI Z87-2+ for the frame and Z87+ for the lens. What it gives you: Oakley O-Matter frame, a stress-resistant nylon-based material, with a full-wrap front.

Oakley Industrial is Oakley’s safety-rated line: the same O-Matter frame material and wrap geometry as its sports eyewear, tested to ANSI Z87 for workplace use.

Which lens goes into a prescription safety frame?

A safety frame is only as safe as the lens in it. Ordinary plastic (CR-39) and glass lenses can break into sharp pieces, so we never fit them in a safety frame. We glaze every pair ourselves in Abu Dhabi, following international safety-eyewear practice, and choose the lens by your prescription strength:

• Polycarbonate (standard) — the industry-standard safety lens: highly impact-resistant, light, and blocks 100% of UV. Fitted as standard for prescriptions up to ±6.00.
• 1.60 MR-8 photochromic grey — for people who move between indoors and the sun: clear inside, darkens to around 50% outdoors. 100% UV protection.
• Polycarbonate Transitions Gen S — the fastest light-adaptive lens in a polycarbonate material; up to 70% dark in sunlight, clear indoors.
• 1.67 high index — recommended where polycarbonate or MR-8 is not feasible for the prescription, typically above ±6.00. High-index material is denser, and the lens thickness at these powers contributes to its strength. 100% UV protection, available clear, photochromic grey or with Transitions Gen S.

All of these lenses block 100% of UV as standard. Prescriptions above ±9.00 are handled personally — send us your prescription on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t my normal lenses go into a safety frame?
Standard CR-39 plastic and glass lenses can shatter into sharp pieces. Safety frames are glazed only with impact-rated materials — polycarbonate as standard, or 1.67 high index where polycarbonate is not feasible for the prescription. We fit them ourselves in Abu Dhabi.

Do the lenses block UV?
Yes. Polycarbonate, MR-8 and high-index lenses block 100% of UV as standard, clear or photochromic.

Can I have lenses that darken outdoors?
Yes — choose Photochromic in the lens selector: 1.60 MR-8 grey (up to about 50% dark) or polycarbonate Transitions Gen S (up to 70% dark, faster). Both are impact-rated and block 100% of UV.

Can you fit progressive or bifocal safety lenses?
Yes — message us on WhatsApp with your prescription; progressive safety lenses are quoted by hand so we can confirm the fitting height on this frame.

Do you supply company or bulk PPE orders?
Yes. Send us the list of names and prescriptions on WhatsApp and we will quote the batch, including home try-on of sample sizes in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

I’m not sure what size is right for me. How can I make sure I get the right size?
