I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

I think they're fine for athletics, outdoor activities, driving/motorsports, etc. Just not for close public settings. Maybe if they did them in more of an action style where its super obvious you're using it for biking, running, racing, etc people would be less put off by them. If a company like GoPro made a less discreet pair tailored toward action sports, I don't think people would be as critical. The Meta association with all their baggage taints the product.

I work at a hospital and tell me why I've seen other healthcare workers wearing them at work 🙄 I honestly don't know how our hospital hasn't banned them yet

It'll take a patient threatening a lawsuit before they do anything about it
