if you plan on using these as regular glasses i'd advise you to make sure its 'structurally sound'. when i bought my glasses a while back i was told that the lenses needed to be constructed out of a slightly stronger (more expensive) material because i wanted one where the frame only covered the top vs one where the frame covered the entire lens. Since the frame only covers the side i'd guess a legit one for everyday use is gonna more expensive than regular ones. other than that go nuts

When viewed from a distance, it would be hard to notice anyone wearing these glasses that they're there.

That's quite appealing to some folks. Hmm... Now I'm intrigued by the style, if not buying these exact ones.

Thank you, sir, for pointing this out.

I like that the frame only covers parts of the lenses.

Only downside is I inquired about it before but outside of certain eye glass shops in Japan they can't guarantee that you could put your own prescription lenses in these COSPA Glasses. Which really sucks since some of are very unique.

It's nice that they are prescription lenses, makes me want a pair myself.

But if it's gonna be an utterly accurate recreation I think we need to point out Sinon actually has flawless eyesight, and her lenses don't correct vision at all. She only wears the glasses because they're allegedly bulletproof.

But of course that's probably asking for too much Razz
