Genuine Oliver Peoples lenses — guaranteed
Ordered directly through Luxottica, the manufacturer of Oliver Peoples eyewear — never aftermarket copies. Every pair carries the correct Oliver Peoples etchings and a certificate of authenticity, cut to your frame’s original specification.
Genuine Oliver Peoples replacement lenses from Sunglasses UK
Genuine Oliver Peoples replacement lenses, cut specifically for the Sheldrake Sun (OV5036S). The Sheldrake is a phantos acetate frame inspired by Andy Warhol, and its slightly squared eye shape means the lens has to be cut accurately to sit flush in the rim. Every pair carries the correct Oliver Peoples etchings and a certificate of authenticity from Luxottica, with full UV protection as standard.
Which size Sheldrake do you have?
The Sheldrake Sun is made in 47mm and 49mm lens widths. Lenses are cut to one or the other and will not swap between them. Your size is printed inside the left temple arm alongside the bridge width — 47-22 or 49-22. Take the number from the frame itself rather than from an old order.
Finding your OV5036S colour code
The colour code sits directly after OV5036S inside the left arm, in the form of four digits, a slash and two characters. The frame shown here is 1580/52. Because the code identifies the exact tint rather than the colour family, we need it as printed.
Choosing your lenses
There are five tints to choose from. Non-polarised matches the original glazing. Polarised strips reflected glare and is the practical choice on water or a bright road. Polarised with a graduated tint fades from dark at the top to near-clear at the bottom, which keeps the phantos shape from looking blocked in. Mirror options, polarised or not, add a reflective front surface.
Fitting your lenses
The Sheldrake is acetate, so the frame is warmed before the lens is seated and the rim flexes rather than splits. If you would rather we handled it, choose Sunglasses UK to fit for an additional £10 and send the frame in once the Royal Mail returns label reaches you by email. Customer to fit sends the lenses straight to you or your optician.
We also supply replacement temples, hinge screws and cases for the Sheldrake OV5036S. For another Oliver Peoples model, start from our main Oliver Peoples replacement lenses page.
Common questions
Are these genuine Oliver Peoples lenses?
Yes. Every lens is ordered directly through Luxottica, the manufacturer of Oliver Peoples eyewear — never an aftermarket copy. Each pair carries the correct Oliver Peoples etchings and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
What information do you need to order my lenses?
Three details, printed inside your frame’s left temple arm: the model code (e.g. OV5217S), the colour code (e.g. 1005/53) and the frame size, shown as two numbers such as 49-22. Add these to the Replacement Lens Details boxes when you order. If the engraving has worn away, email a photo of the inside arm to ben@sunglassesuk.com and we will identify it for you.
Can I fit the replacement lenses myself?
Yes. Choose “Customer to fit” and we will send the loose lenses for you, or a local optician, to fit. Prefer us to do it? Choose “Sunglasses UK to fit” (+£10) and we will email a Royal Mail returns label so you can send us the frame.
Does the frame need warming to fit the lenses?
Yes. Oliver Peoples frames are acetate, so the front is warmed before a lens is seated — that lets the rim flex rather than split. If you would rather not do that yourself, choose “Sunglasses UK to fit” and our workshop will handle it.
How long do replacement lenses take to arrive?
Lenses are made to order and usually take 5–10 working days to arrive from Italy. If we hold your lenses in stock they are dispatched the next working day, and any Next Day Delivery you have paid for applies from the moment they reach us.
Do the lenses come as a pair?
Yes — you receive two lenses, both with the correct Oliver Peoples etchings, plus a certificate of authenticity. Full UV protection is standard.
Which Oliver Peoples models can you supply lenses for?
The entire range, including discontinued and unlisted frames. Gregory Peck OV5217S, O’Malley OV5183S, Sheldrake OV5036S, Cary Grant OV5413SU and Fairmont OV5219S have their own pages. For anything else, order from this page and give us your frame details at checkout.
Can I cancel my order once it is placed?
Because Oliver Peoples lenses are custom items ordered directly from Luxottica for your specific frame, orders cannot be cancelled once placed. All fittings and repairs are carried out at the customer’s own risk.
