Neither pair is polarized if that matters to anyone. Nice deal still.

Nice - ordered two. Non-Polarized is fine - my expensive sunglasses are my fishing glasses, these would be my casual and are good for reading off iPad and Kindle.

Thanks. Just ordered a pair.

Good deal. Valves are my favorite Oakleys. Fit and look great on my big head. I already own 3 pairs.

Non-polarized is a bummer, but not a deal-breaker. I can always use another set for lawn mowing, etc.

Great deal. Bought a pair of the matte black / black iridium lenses.

Thanks for the lead.

You could buy just the replacement lenses from Oakley if you wanted Polarized ones. They ain't cheap though.

Wearing prescription lenses sucks when I see things like this.

These frames are the "regular" sized from Oakley. If, like me, you require wider frames (e.g. 145mm) these won't fit.

Wolfe 21 - both of these companies and others make prescription lenses for multiple brand sunglasses.

Or you can try Revant optics or Fuse lenses. Both sell polarized and non polarized, in multiple color options, replacements from around $15-$55 a set. I have used both brands in the past, currently have two frames with Revant and one frame with Fuse polarized. Have no issues with them on fit or finish. One set is 3yrs old and no issues. Great price for great replacement lenses. I used to buy from Oakley until I discovered these guys a few years ago.

If you subscribe to either ones email list you will receive discount codes up to 20% and or free shipping.

Even if you bought the Midway deal and replaced the lenses with above choices you still would be in for less than a new pair of Oakleys.
