The Oakley Frogskins Rx A 8137A eyeglasses bring one of the most iconic frame designs in eyewear history to prescription wearers. First introduced in 1985 as Oakley’s debut lifestyle sunglasses, the Frogskins became a cultural phenomenon—seen everywhere from MTV music videos to the faces of athletes and celebrities. This prescription-ready version preserves the original’s square lens shape and keyhole bridge while incorporating modern Oakley engineering for all-day comfort.
The Frogskins story is pure 1980s. When Oakley founder Jim Jannard reportedly needed to get a “normal” model out the door quickly, he created these frames and named them “for the frogskins”—slang for dollars. That rushed design became one of Oakley’s most enduring successes. The frame’s square silhouette with its distinctive keyhole bridge was instantly compared to the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, but the Frogskins carved out their own identity with bold colors and Oakley’s performance DNA. After being discontinued in the mid-90s, Oakley resurrected the Frogskins in 2007, and they’ve remained a favorite ever since.
The Frogskins Rx A 8137A is built from Oakley’s proprietary O-Matter frame material—a stress-resistant nylon composite engineered for exceptional durability. O-Matter is designed to flex under impact and return to its original shape, making these frames highly resilient for daily wear. The material is also heat and cold resistant, preventing the brittleness that plagues ordinary plastic frames. This lightweight construction means you can wear them all day without pressure points or fatigue.
These full-rim frames come ready for your prescription lenses and feature Oakley’s patented Three-Point Fit system, which ensures the frame only touches your head at the bridge and the back of the temples. This design eliminates pressure points and keeps your optical lenses precisely aligned for clear vision. The Frogskins Rx A 8137A is designated as a low bridge fit (the “A” suffix), with lenses cut higher and wider to accommodate a broader range of face shapes, particularly those with lower nose bridges or higher cheekbones.
The square lens shape flatters most face types and offers generous coverage. The frame measures 55mm lens width with a single-bridge design and the signature Oakley logo printed on the temples. Available in six colors—from classic black to transparent and woodgrain finishes—the Frogskins Rx A 8137A lets you wear a frame that’s been turning heads for nearly four decades with your own prescription.
