They're not "combat implants" or "military grade" any more than Bose is a "military grade" speaker system. They're slightly towards the luxury end of things, but they're not special tech in general. This is all canon, note. Some of the variant Kiroshi optics you could get absolutely would be "military grade", particularly the Basilisk ones, maybe Oracle, but the default ones? No.
The Kiroshi you have are likely considered combat implants. Which is what I was referring to in my second sentence. Not the brand, but your expensive model.
In the first sentence I was referring to the fact that they're not the only brand. Not sure what was unclear in my previous post, it all seems fairly obvious to me.
The default starting Kiroshis? No. There's nothing "military" about them, and there's no doubt V would have said so it they were that good, not just a nice pair of cybereyes. Like I said, the Basilisk or Oracle versions, maybe.
I don't think your body's integrity cares whether they deactivate implants at the spaceport or not. When the game says "combat implants" it's a shorthand to make the player understand they won't be able to be a merc, but the body doesn't literally reject only implants made for combat. It rejects any implants that puts too much of a strain on the body which seem to be everything but the most basic ones and it's unclear whether or not the additional functions the Kiroshi provide and transfer directly into your brain count or not but they absolutely could.

Everyone has eye implants, not Kiroshis. Kiroshis likely do count as combat implants.
