The Oakley Knolls 8144 eyeglasses bring sport-performance engineering to everyday prescription eyewear. Designed for men who need frames that keep up with active lifestyles, the Knolls blends the athletic DNA of Oakley's Crosslink and Plazlink collections with a full-rim rectangular silhouette that works from the gym to the office.
O-Matter Frame Technology: Built to Last
The frame is constructed from Oakley's proprietary O-Matter material—a stress-resistant nylon composite that's 25% lighter and twice as strong as standard acetate. O-Matter flexes on impact rather than shattering, resists heat and cold without becoming brittle, and stands up to sweat, UV exposure, and daily wear. The result is a frame that delivers exceptional durability and all-day comfort without the weight of traditional plastic frames.
Available in five colors—Polished Black Fade, Polished Black Ink, Satin Black, Satin Grey Smoke, and Satin Trans Blue—the Knolls offers clean, modern styling with subtle texture variations visible in the photos. The rectangular lens shape measures 55mm or 57mm across with an 18mm bridge and 143mm temples, fitting most medium to large face shapes comfortably.
Ace-Fit Temple Technology & TruBridge Nosepads
What sets the Knolls apart is Ace-fit temple technology, which allows eye care professionals to adjust and customize the temple fit based on your personal needs. The temples feature textured grip detailing and the signature Oakley ellipse logo, visible in the product images. TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads provide a no-slip grip that actually increases when you sweat—a feature borrowed directly from Oakley's sport sunglasses. The Three-Point Fit system ensures the frame only makes contact at the bridge and behind the temples, reducing pressure points and keeping your lenses in precise optical alignment for accurate vision correction.
Prescription-Ready Performance
The Knolls 8144 is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and high-index lenses. The full-rim design provides excellent lens retention and durability compared to semi-rimless styles. These frames deliver the comfort and stability Oakley is known for in an everyday design that handles whatever your day brings.

Great prices and service on fantastic glasses!
I bought the wrong ones before and Designer optics exchanged them for these. I love these frames and they come with different nose pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Oakley Knolls 8144 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Oakley Knolls 8144 eyeglasses are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and high-index prescription lenses. The full-rim design provides excellent lens retention and works with a wide range of prescriptions. You can add your prescription during checkout, and our licensed opticians will ensure proper lens fitting and optical alignment.
What is O-Matter material and why does it matter?
O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary stress-resistant nylon composite that's 25% lighter and twice as strong as standard acetate. It flexes on impact rather than shattering, resists heat and cold without becoming brittle, and stands up to sweat and UV exposure. This makes the Knolls 8144 ideal for active lifestyles—lightweight enough for all-day wear but durable enough to handle sports and outdoor activities.
What sizes are available for the Oakley Knolls 8144?
The Oakley Knolls 8144 is available in two lens widths: 55mm and 57mm. Both sizes feature an 18mm bridge width and 143mm temple length (55-18-143 and 57-18-143). The 55mm works well for medium faces, while the 57mm provides a slightly larger fit. The rectangular shape suits round, oval, and heart-shaped faces particularly well.
What is Ace-fit temple technology?
Ace-fit temple technology allows eye care professionals to adjust and customize the temple fit based on your personal preferences. This enhances comfort and retention, ensuring the frames stay secure during active wear. The temples can be fine-tuned to match your head shape and wearing style, making the Knolls 8144 more adaptable than standard fixed-temple frames.
Do the Oakley Knolls 8144 have Unobtainium nosepads?
Yes, the Knolls 8144 features TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads that provide a no-slip grip. Unobtainium is Oakley's proprietary material that actually increases grip when you sweat, preventing the frames from sliding down your nose during workouts, sports, or hot weather. This is the same technology used in Oakley's performance sunglasses.
How do the Oakley Knolls 8144 compare to the Crosslink or Plank 2.0?
The Knolls 8144 is inspired by both the Crosslink and Plazlink collections but features a full-rim design and Ace-fit adjustable temples. At the same $187 price point as the Plank 2.0, the Knolls offers more adjustability and sport-focused features like TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads. Compared to the Crosslink Zero, the Knolls has a slightly larger, more modern rectangular shape and enhanced customization options through Ace-fit technology.

Oakley Knolls 8144 vs. Plank 2.0 vs. Crosslink Zero
If you're choosing between Oakley's sport-inspired prescription eyeglasses, the Knolls 8144, Plank 2.0 8081, and Crosslink Zero 8076 represent three strong options in similar price ranges. Here's how they stack up.
Oakley Knolls 8144: Best for Customizable Fit
The Knolls 8144 stands out with Ace-fit temple technology, which allows eye care professionals to adjust the temples based on your personal preferences. TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads provide a no-slip grip that increases when you sweat, making this the top choice if you need glasses that stay secure during workouts, running, or cycling. The modern rectangular shape works well for both athletic and everyday wear. At $187, it offers the most advanced fit customization in this comparison.
Oakley Plank 2.0 8081: Best for Minimalist Style
The Plank 2.0 shares O-Matter construction and a similar rectangular shape but takes a more streamlined, lifestyle-focused approach. It's lighter and sleeker than the Knolls, with a starting price of $95.33 making it more budget-friendly. However, it lacks the Ace-fit adjustability and TruBridge Unobtainium nosepads. Choose the Plank 2.0 if you want clean, understated Oakley style without the sport-specific grip features.
Oakley Crosslink Zero 8076: Best for Sport Heritage
The Crosslink Zero brings direct lineage from Oakley's Zero performance sunglasses, with wire-core temples for micro-adjustability and Unobtainium earsocks and nosepads. It's the most athletic-looking of the three, with a slightly smaller, more technical aesthetic. At $187, it matches the Knolls in price but offers a different adjustment approach—wire-core temples you can bend yourself versus the Knolls' professional Ace-fit system.
Our Recommendation: Choose the Knolls 8144 if you want the most advanced fit technology and modern rectangular styling. Go with the Plank 2.0 for a more affordable, lifestyle-focused option. Pick the Crosslink Zero if you prefer the proven Crosslink heritage and hands-on wire-core adjustability.
