The Oakley Centerboard 8163 prescription eyeglasses deliver authentic Oakley engineering at an accessible price point. Built with the brand's proprietary O-Matter frame material, these full-rim frames combine lightweight comfort with serious durability—O-Matter is 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong, making the Centerboard ideal for all-day wear without the weight.
The round-to-square frame shape works across multiple face types, offering a modern look that's neither too bold nor too conservative. Available in four finishes—Polished Clear, Satin Black, Satin Brown Tortoise, and Satin Light Steel—and three lens widths (51mm, 53mm, and 55mm), you can dial in the fit that works for your face. The sculpted temples feature Oakley's Ace-Fit technology: they're adjustable via gentle heat, allowing opticians (or you, carefully) to customize the temple curve for a secure, personalized fit. Added texture on the inside of the temples enhances grip and keeps the frames from sliding.
These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim design provides maximum lens stability, and the 17mm bridge and 141mm temples deliver a balanced fit for medium to large faces. O-Matter's injection-molded thermoplastic construction resists shifting and deforming over time, and the material holds up against UV exposure, temperature swings, and daily wear better than standard plastics.
The Centerboard sits in Oakley's lifestyle eyewear lineup—less technical than their sport-specific frames, but still built to the brand's exacting standards. If you want Oakley quality and the iconic ellipse logo without the premium price of their flagship models, the Centerboard 8163 is a smart choice. It ships with an Oakley microbag and cleaning cloth.

Great glasses!
Awesome glasses! Shipped them quick! Prescription was perfect! Will be buying again for my next pair. Thanks everyone!
Good product but late delivery.
This is my second pair I've purchased. I get so many compliments on how they look on me and I feel more confident in them. Only drawback was that they were on manufacturer backorder, so I had to wait a few weeks. I'm concerned the company is dropping them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Oakley Centerboard 8163 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Oakley Centerboard 8163 frames are fully prescription-ready. They accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim design provides excellent lens stability, and the frames are compatible with a wide range of prescription strengths. Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses come laser-etched with the ellipse logo for authenticity.
What is O-Matter and why does it matter?
O-Matter is Oakley's proprietary nylon-based frame material. It's 25% lighter than traditional acetate and twice as strong, offering superior impact resistance and flexibility. The material is heat- and cold-resistant, preventing brittleness, and it's designed to withstand UV exposure, humidity, and thermal shock without deforming over time.
What sizes do the Oakley Centerboard 8163 come in?
The Centerboard 8163 is available in three lens widths: 51mm, 53mm, and 55mm. All sizes share a 17mm bridge width and 141mm temple length. The 51mm works well for smaller to medium faces, the 53mm fits most medium faces, and the 55mm is best for medium to larger faces.
Can the Oakley Centerboard temples be adjusted for a better fit?
Yes, the Centerboard features Oakley's Ace-Fit adjustable temples. The O-Matter material can be gently heated and shaped for a personalized fit. The temples also have added texture on the inside to enhance retention and prevent slipping. For best results, have adjustments done by an optician or at an Oakley store.
How does the Oakley Centerboard compare to the Holbrook Rx?
The Centerboard 8163 has a rounder, more versatile shape compared to the Holbrook Rx's iconic square silhouette. Both use O-Matter frames and are similarly priced ($99–$187 for Centerboard vs. $92–$187 for Holbrook Rx). The Centerboard offers Ace-Fit adjustable temples, while the Holbrook Rx has a more lifestyle-forward, retro-inspired design. Choose Centerboard for a modern, understated look or Holbrook Rx for bold, classic Oakley style.
Are Oakley Centerboard eyeglasses durable enough for daily wear?
Absolutely. The O-Matter frame material is engineered for durability and impact resistance, originally developed for athletes. It withstands daily wear, temperature extremes, and UV exposure without becoming brittle or deforming. Multiple customers report wearing their Centerboard frames all day with no discomfort, and the material's flexibility helps absorb impacts that would crack traditional plastic frames.

Oakley Centerboard 8163 vs. Holbrook Rx 8156 vs. Plank 2.0 8081
Choosing between Oakley's value-oriented prescription frames comes down to shape preference and style. The Centerboard 8163 offers a modern round-to-square hybrid shape with Ace-Fit adjustable temples, making it the most versatile option for different face shapes and the easiest to customize for fit. At $99–$187, it's Oakley's most accessible frame with adjustable temples.
The Holbrook Rx 8156 ($92–$187) is the choice for customers who want Oakley's iconic square Wayfarer-inspired design. Its keyhole bridge and bold styling make it instantly recognizable, but the shape is more statement-making and less adaptable to professional settings. If you love the classic Oakley lifestyle look and have a medium to wide nose, the Holbrook Rx delivers proven style. However, it lacks the Centerboard's temple adjustability.
The Plank 2.0 8081 ($95–$187) splits the difference with a traditional rectangular shape that works well in conservative or business environments. It's the safest, most professional-looking option of the three, but it doesn't have the Centerboard's modern sculptural detailing or the Holbrook's iconic status. All three frames use the same durable O-Matter construction and accept the full range of prescription lenses.
Our recommendation: Choose the Centerboard 8163 if you want a modern, versatile frame with the best fit customization. Go with the Holbrook Rx if you prioritize iconic Oakley style and have a face shape that suits square frames. Pick the Plank 2.0 for a low-profile, professional rectangular design. For active wearers who need maximum grip, consider stepping up to the Airdrop 8046 ($119–$227), which adds Unobtainium earsocks and Oakley's Three-Point Fit system.
