Score 10.0/10

+ For the price they have a good appearance and should appeal to a large potion of the population, also they fit my criteria which is important because you cannot design specifically for you , you have to accept the nearest measurements.

- The most awkward point is the measurement which is not on the optical prescription. I worked mine out and they did a good job of fitting me.
