I hope the price comes down. Laughing

Are these available to US buyers? I have to admit that the glasses are very cool looking!

They're probably like Gunnar glasses, ergo the price.

Obviously for anime nerds with more money than sense. This nerd is living on the other side of the river.

Probably only available for ordering from japan. Around 100 bucks isn't bad i wouldn't mind a pair but for just regular lenses only, its a tough sale unless you can swap in prescription lenses which you can for a lot of these glasses but I'm guessing not for this pair do to the design.

They do look amazing but I personally don't like colored lenses.

I haven't looked into it, but I think that yellow tint helps with eye strain from staring at a screen for too long. I've seen computer(which this are)/gaming glasses and they have that color. Maybe it's the type of glass? I don't know. Confused

PBsallad you are right I read up on the site and they are for gaming, general computer screen use to cut down on blue color light or something. In that case I really need a few pairs since I'm in front of a computer monitor for long periods of time.

Also they are made of NTX lenses which claims/proven to be stronger than normal Polycarbonate lenses so they are stronger than my current shooting glasses. Now I have to have a pair or two. Shame you can't get them for prescription glasses.
