Wow. I'm surprised they're so cheap, even with prescription lens.

As much as I need new glasses, and as tempting as this is, those would look terrible on me. Backup pair?

Hahaha... If only that were the case.
Looking at their catalog site, prescription lenses aren't included. Just a service to swap them.

If only, Homura... If only... D:

Yeah, the price of eyeglass frames rarely includes the lenses. Depending on your presciption, adding the lenses can easily double the cost of the set.

It's poor form to necro-bump btw, but I suppose this is valid enough.

The glasses are available through Cospa, as the article says. Unfortunately, they don't do overseas shipping on orders. BUT what you could do is use a Forwarding Service in Japan to ship them to you. These are companies that you can contact, and for a fee, will get merchandise for you and ship it overseas. I've never done it before, so I can't recommend any of them myself, however.

If you also want them to have prescription lenses -- before ordering, I would go into your local eye doctor or glasses shop and ask them if they're able to create lenses for frames they don't sell. Maybe even show them a picture of the glasses from the site. I would think that since they come with fake lenses, they could easily measure the dimensions of those and do it. But ask them first.
