The Oakley Centerboard A 8163F prescription eyeglasses bring performance-grade engineering to everyday eyewear. Designed specifically for low-bridge fit, the Centerboard A adapts Oakley's signature round-square frame shape to suit a wider variety of face geometries, making it an excellent choice for anyone who's struggled with standard frames sitting too low or pinching at the nose.
Built for Comfort, Engineered to Last
The full-rim frame is constructed from O-Matter, Oakley's proprietary injection-molded thermoplastic that's 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong. This isn't just marketing—O-Matter's controlled flexibility improves impact resistance while maintaining its shape over time, so your frames won't warp or deform even with daily wear. The material also resists heat, cold, and UV exposure better than standard plastics, which means these glasses are built to handle real life.
Available in multiple finishes including Satin Grey Smoke, Satin Brown Tortoise, and Satin Black Camo, the Centerboard A offers clean, understated style. The matte satin finishes resist fingerprints and give the frame a modern, low-profile look that works equally well at the office or on the trail.
Ace-Fit Temples: Adjust Once, Forget Forever
One of the Centerboard A's standout features is its Ace-Fit adjustable temples. Unlike rigid frames that either fit or don't, the Ace-Fit system allows your optician (or you, with a little heat) to bend and customize the temple tips for a secure, personalized fit behind your ears. The temples also feature added interior texture to enhance grip and retention—these stay put without squeezing.
The Centerboard A is prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and blue-light-filtering lenses. Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses come laser-etched with the ellipse logo on the left lens for proof of authenticity and quality. Offered in three sizes (52mm, 54mm, and 56mm eye widths), the frame accommodates a range of prescriptions and face sizes.
Created on what Oakley calls a "value-based platform," the Centerboard delivers the brand's attention to detail and durability at an accessible price point. It's lightweight, comfortable, and designed for those who aspire to Oakley quality without the premium price tag of flagship models. If you need reliable, all-day eyewear that actually fits and won't quit, the Centerboard A 8163F is worth a look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'A' mean in Oakley Centerboard A 8163F?
The 'A' designation indicates this is a low-bridge fit (also called Asian fit) version of the Centerboard. It features modified nose bridge geometry and adjusted temple angles to better suit wider or flatter nose bridges and higher cheekbones. If standard frames tend to sit too low on your face or touch your cheeks, the Centerboard A will provide a more comfortable, secure fit.
What is O-Matter and why does it matter for eyeglasses?
O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary injection-molded thermoplastic frame material. It's 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong, with superior flexibility that improves impact resistance. O-Matter also resists heat, cold, UV radiation, and deformation over time, making it ideal for all-day wear and active lifestyles. The material won't become brittle or warp like cheaper plastics.
Can I get prescription lenses in the Oakley Centerboard A 8163F?
Yes, the Centerboard A 8163F is fully prescription-ready. It accepts single-vision, progressive (multifocal), and blue-light-filtering prescription lenses. The frame is designed to accommodate a wide range of prescriptions, and when fitted with Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses, they come laser-etched with the ellipse logo for proof of authenticity.
What are Ace-Fit temples and how do they work?
Ace-Fit temples are adjustable temple tips that can be bent and customized to fit behind your ear for maximum comfort and retention. Your optician can heat-adjust them to match your head shape, or you can carefully adjust them yourself. The temples also feature interior texture to enhance grip, so the frames stay in place without pinching or sliding.
What size should I choose: 52mm, 54mm, or 56mm?
The size refers to the lens width (eye size) in millimeters. For reference, 52mm is considered small to medium and suits narrower faces; 54mm is medium and fits most adults; 56mm is medium-large and works well for wider faces or those who prefer more coverage. You can check your current glasses—the measurements are usually printed inside the temple (e.g., 54-17-141).
How does the Centerboard A compare to the Oakley Holbrook RX?
Both are prescription-ready Oakley frames, but the Centerboard A is a value-oriented model with a rounder shape and low-bridge fit, while the Holbrook RX is a more iconic square frame based on Oakley's popular sunglass design. The Centerboard A features Ace-Fit adjustable temples and is generally lighter and more affordable, whereas the Holbrook RX offers a bolder, more recognizable style.

Centerboard A vs. Holbrook RX vs. Plank 2.0: Which Oakley Frame Is Right for You?
Choosing between Oakley prescription frames often comes down to fit, style, and how you'll use them. Here's how the Centerboard A 8163F stacks up against two popular alternatives in our catalog.
Centerboard A 8163F vs. Holbrook RX 8156
The Holbrook RX is Oakley's most recognizable prescription frame, based on the iconic Holbrook sunglasses. If you want that classic, bold square look and don't need low-bridge fit, the Holbrook RX delivers instant brand recognition and a slightly larger, more substantial feel. However, the Centerboard A wins for versatility and fit customization. Its low-bridge geometry and Ace-Fit adjustable temples make it the better choice for wider or flatter nose bridges, and the rounder shape offers a more modern, understated aesthetic. If the Holbrook has ever sat too low on your face or touched your cheeks, the Centerboard A solves that problem.
Centerboard A 8163F vs. Plank 2.0 8081
The Plank 2.0 is another value-oriented Oakley frame, but with a more rectangular, professional shape. It's a solid choice if you prefer traditional lines and don't need low-bridge fit. The Centerboard A offers more adjustability (thanks to Ace-Fit temples), better fit options for diverse face shapes, and a softer, more versatile round-square silhouette that transitions easily from work to weekend. Both are lightweight O-Matter frames at similar prices, but the Centerboard A's low-bridge design and customizable fit give it the edge for comfort and all-day wearability.
Centerboard A 8163F vs. Airdrop 8046
The Airdrop shares the Centerboard A's round-square shape and has a strong reputation for comfort. If you have a standard bridge and want a proven design, the Airdrop is a safe bet. But if you've struggled with frames slipping or sitting incorrectly, the Centerboard A is the smarter pick. Its low-bridge fit and Ace-Fit temples provide a level of customization the Airdrop can't match, and the refined sculptural detailing gives it a slightly more contemporary look.
Bottom line: The Centerboard A 8163F is the best choice if you need low-bridge fit, want adjustable temples for a personalized feel, or prefer a modern round-square shape that doesn't scream "performance eyewear." It's Oakley quality and durability at a value price, designed to fit faces that other frames miss.
