Austin, Texas-based Flying Eyes Eyeglasses has achieved certification for two of its eyeglass models, designed specifically to fit under a headset or helmet. The certification was achieved under ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015, the same certification required for safety goggles, spectacles, face shields and welding helmets.
Flying-specific Eyeglasses Achieve Certification as Safety Glasses
Key Takeaways:
- Flying Eyes Eyeglasses' Golden Eagle and Hawk models achieved ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015 certification, a safety standard typically required for safety goggles and other protective eyewear.
- The certification, which tests optical quality, UV protection, and more, was prompted by a pilot's testimony that the glasses saved his sight during a windshield failure incident.
- While these two specific frames passed all requirements, other Flying Eyes models also offer high-quality frontal lens protection, though they lack full side coverage certification.
