Method Seven develops advanced, non-polarized optical technology specifically for the visual demands of aviation. Our proprietary notch filtering selectively reduces harsh wavelengths of light while preserving useful visual information, enhancing contrast, clarity, and natural color perception. Engineered to provide full UV protection without the electronic display visibility issues associated with polarized lenses, Method Seven optics help pilots maintain a clear view of instruments, aircraft windows, and the surrounding environment.

Method Seven Pilot frames are engineered for the specific demands of aviation, combining lightweight materials, flexibility, durability, and a secure fit. Our headset-compatible designs feature ultra-thin temples that minimize pressure, help maintain headset seals, and reduce interference with flight helmets and oxygen equipment. Developed and tested with professional and general aviation pilots, each frame is purpose-built for comfort, stability, and clear communication during flight.

Method Seven scientifically develops eyewear engineered for the unique visual demands of aviation. Through in-house optical research, precision engineering, and extensive field testing with professional and general aviation pilots, we create purpose-built lenses and frames that enhance clarity, contrast, comfort, and protection. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of the most important flight instrument of all: the human eye.

Vicky Benzing is a talented aerobatic airshow pilot and the fastest woman in air racing. She has competed in both the Jet and Sport classes at the National Championship Air Races in Reno and will make history this year as the second woman to race in the Unlimited class.

Vicky earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry at UC Berkeley while obtaining her private pilot certificate. Despite a success in tech, her passion for flying became a second career.

With over 8,000 flight hours and 1,200 parachute jumps, she holds an airline transport pilot rating and commercial ratings in helicopters, seaplanes, and gliders. She began serious aerobatic training in 2005, competing and performing in over 200 airshows, including EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI.

Benzing inspires women to pursue their dreams, demonstrating that with hard work, anything is possible.
