Austin, Texas-based Flying Eyes Sunglasses, which produce sunglasses specifically designed to fit underneath a headset, has added new lenses with a gradient tint. The lenses block more sunlight and glare on the upper portion, protecting the eyes while allowing for improved visibility inside the cockpit on the lighter-tint lower portion of the lenses, its maker says.
Like Flying Eyes’ standard, prescription and bifocal lenses, the gradient tint lenses are non-polarized to help you see avionics and other LCD screens better in the cockpit. However, for those who plan to use the glasses for non-aviation purposes, such as sports that require a helmet, polarized lenses are available as well.
