If you plan to sell, clear pictures of the writing on the insides of both arms are crucial.
I'm not questioning authenticity. The pictures you showed look fine. But for sales of glasses, particularly highly faked brands but also for sizing specs, it's important that buyers (and authenticators) see clear pictures of all logos and markings.

The optician will tell you if the glasses are RX ready. KS makes OTC (over the counter) sunnies but those can't be used for prescription lenses.
Generally, Luxotica (the mfr) frames that are RX ready come with clear plastic fake lenses with the brand name permanently etched/imprinted on the left lens.
The problem with buying rx-ready frames separately from where you're going to get the lenses is that most retailers (Pearle Vision, Lenscrafters, Vision Works, etc.) have specials where you get discounts when the full set of frames and lenses are purchased. To buy lenses separately can be more expensive than buying the set.
And don't get me started on how bad I think that is for the environment when they force customers to dispose of perfectly good frames in order to get an affordable price on glasses!
However if you have an insurance program (such as Davis Vision or the like), you can use their participating providers and get reasonably priced lenses.
Can you tell I've been there? I found wonderful (brand new) Chanel frames for $9 at a thrift store that assumed they were fake. I ended up getting my lenses through my insurance company and saved hundreds of dollars!
Yes, Debora. DH and I donate no-longer-used glasses to the local lions club.
I believe the OP bought the glasses to have her own lenses put in to use herself.
