Flying Eyes Optics

Flying Eyes Optics designs and sells prescription and non-prescription sunglasses engineered to fit under aviation headsets and motorcycle helmets. The company was founded by a pilot who found that, as headset ear cups became tighter to reduce noise passively, the rigid temples of ordinary sunglasses caused pain and let noise leak into the ear seal. The result was a frame built around millimetre-thin, flexible temples that conform to the head rather than hooking around the ears, so glasses can be put on and taken off while wearing a headset or helmet. The same design proved useful for motorcyclists and cyclists, who often wore no sun protection under full helmets, and the company describes itself as a group of pilots, motorcyclists and adventurers.

Products
