Flying Eyes Optics Revolutionizes Cockpit Vision with New FlightDeck 360™ Prescription Lenses
AUSTIN, TX – Flying Eyes Optics, the leader in precision aviation eyewear, today announced the launch of the FlightDeck 360™, a breakthrough in prescription lens technology designed specifically for the unique ergonomic demands of professional jet pilots.
The FlightDeck 360™ is the industry’s first "true" progressive lens that provides near-vision correction at both the top and bottom of the lens, with crisp distance correction through the center. This specific configuration allows pilots to seamlessly scan overhead panels, primary flight displays, and the horizon without the fatiguing head-tilting and neck strain required by standard progressive lenses.
Modern Materials for the Modern Aviator
Historically, "double-segment" lenses were only available in heavy, fragile mineral glass, featuring unsightly lines and limited focal ranges. Flying Eyes has modernized this concept using ultra-lightweight, high-performance polymers including Trivex and High-Index materials.
“Standard progressives are designed for life on the ground—looking down at a phone and straight ahead at the road. But pilots look up at overhead panels just as often as they look down at charts,” said Dean Siracusa, Founder of Flying Eyes Optics. “By utilizing Trivex and High-Index polymers, we’ve created a lens that is significantly lighter and more impact-resistant than old-school glass, while offering the smooth visual transitions of a true digital progressive.”
Key Features of the FlightDeck 360™ include:
- Dual-Near Vision Zones: Optimized for vertical scanning of overhead panels and lower instrument consoles.
- Advanced Polymer Construction: Crafted from Trivex or High-Index materials for superior durability, impact resistance, and scratch resistance.
- Reduced Pilot Fatigue: Lightweight materials and ergonomic focal points reduce neck strain and visual exhaustion during long-haul flights.
- IOT Digital Ray-Path 2™ Technology: Advanced digital surfacing minimizes peripheral blur and maximizes the usable field of view.
The Perfect Flight Deck Pairing
The FlightDeck 360™ lenses are designed to be paired with Flying Eyes’ patented frames. Known for their micro-thin, flexible temples, Flying Eyes frames are engineered to be worn comfortably under aviation headsets and helmets for hours without causing pressure points or breaking the noise-canceling seal of the ear cuffs.
Availability
The FlightDeck 360™ lenses are currently available via professional consultation to ensure precise segment placement tailored to each pilot's specific cockpit environment.
