Yes you can. I have a pair of Juliets that originally had the orange fire lenses. They cost me about 250 four years ago. About a year after I had them I had new blue polarized lenses put in with a perscription. It takes a couple of weeks as they are sent to Oakley HQ (from any big optician) and cost around 300 quid as said above. The vision through them is incredible, my perscription is quite strong but I can't live without these, worth every penny.

I have a pair of Bvlgari sunglasses that have smoked lenses so can't get perscription that will look as good, so wear contacts with these and the difference is amazing! Go for the oakleys if you can afford it mate!

Yes you can definately get prescription Oakleys.

Both my sunglasses and normal glasses have oakley frames, and my sunglasses have the polarised lens. I honestly couldn't live without them > they are a little pricey but they are so comfortable and very well made! I have had my shades for 5 years and they are still like brand new.

Yes you can, but only to a certain degree of lens cut.

I had to get some Ruddy Project sunny's, the lenses I required would suit these frames but not oakley's.

I'm well impressed with mine, check out the web-site

Oakley do not sell direct (according to their HQ in Letchworth) you have to buy through approved stockists.

I might be wrong but that is what they told me last year, and my sister earlier this month.
