how about some more info

who makes them?

do they come in black or grey lenses, etc

imho, a black lense would look better but it's hard to tell without seeing them on

do you have another picture?

I guess maybe I'd have to see them on someone, but from that stock photo they look rather unflattering imo.

I'm a huge OP/MT fan, but I tried these on and they were not flattering on me at all.
