What I Found
A practical look at swapping Oakley Meta lenses with Apex Icy Blue aftermarket lenses, including how the lenses pop.
If you have Oakley Meta smart glasses and you are not sold on the stock Oakley Gold Prizm lenses, the good news is that the lenses are removable. I wanted to see how hard the swap actually is and whether a lower-cost aftermarket lens could change the look without making the glasses less useful.
The Oakley Meta lenses came out pretty easily by pushing from the back side of the frame near the top outer corner of each lens. To install the Apex Icy Blue lenses, I started with the flatter inner edge near the nose bridge, seated that side first, and then worked around the frame until the opposite side snapped in.
