Lens Technology

A different approach to optics

Most sunglasses are too dark, overly polarized, and primarily about fashion. They may make you squint less but don't help you see better.

We fixed that with our notch filtering technology.

We filter light with such precision that we can eliminate a specific wavelength (light color/energy) you don't need and enhance the wavelengths you do. It's noise-canceling for your eyes. You see better, are more relaxed, and can always keep your glasses on - in the car, in the cafe, and scrolling your phone.

Lucid Clear Intelligence plus minus

Lucid Rx is Method Seven's clear prescription lens technology, engineered for sharp, comfortable vision without a sunglass tint. Advanced optical design and anti-reflective coatings reduce distracting reflections and residual visual distortions while supporting clarity, contrast, and depth perception. Suitable for flying, driving, indoor work, and everyday activities, Lucid Rx provides versatile prescription correction across changing lighting environments.

Lucid Rx plus ZEISS Lens Technology plus minus

Lucid Rx incorporates advanced ZEISS lens coatings, including DuraVision Gold UV and CleanGuard™, for exceptional clarity, durability, and easy maintenance. Anti-reflective technology minimizes distracting reflections, while CleanGuard helps repel water, oil, dust, and smudges for easier cleaning. Engineered for scratch resistance and full UV protection, these coatings support clear, comfortable prescription vision and long-term everyday use.

Frame Technology

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.

The Patriot plus minus

Developed with direct input from the Patriots Jet Team, the Patriot was engineered to meet the demands of high-performance formation flying. Its lightweight titanium construction combines ultra-thin flexible temples with a secure wraparound fit, providing expansive peripheral coverage and protection from unwanted light. Designed to remain stable during high-G maneuvers, the Patriot accommodates aviation headsets, flight helmets, and oxygen equipment without compromising comfort or visibility.

Titanium Frame Technology plus minus

Method Seven titanium frames are hand-tooled for strength, flexibility, and lasting durability. Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant, titanium provides a comfortable fit while standing up to the demands of frequent flying. Its hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for extended wear, while precisely engineered temples flex to accommodate aviation headsets and flight helmets without unnecessary pressure.

Method Seven Life

We've mastered the art of filtering light for the most demanding conditions—whether it's flying planes, working under the harsh lights of grow rooms, or runners tackling 240-mile races in Moab, Utah.

Now, we've brought this cutting-edge science to everyday life with the M7 Life lens. Whether you're driving, scrolling through your phone, or walking urban streets, the M7 Life lens delivers maximum filtered light for living comfortably and clearly. Unlike regular fashion sunglasses, our lenses are so good they don't have to be dark to be comfortable, so you don't have to take them off when you walk into the cafe. They stop the glare but don't kill the sparkle of life.

Scott "Intake" Kartvedt

The helmet fits, you don't feel them, there's no hotspots. They're not polarized, so you can look inside and outside, even when we're flying into the sun they block out that glare. I have flown with all other brands of glasses in my 27 years as a Navy pilot, as a civilian aerobatic pilot, and as a commercial airline pilot, these are the best pair of glasses I have ever worn.

Scott Kartvedt is a professional pilot and President of the Blue Angel Foundation. He instructs and evaluates for United Airlines in Denver, Colorado, and is the number 5 pilot for the Patriot Jet Team. He also served as a stunt pilot in "Top Gun: Maverick" and was the aviation safety supervisor for "Mission Impossible 8."

Scott's career includes five combat tours, flying with the Blue Angels, and serving as the Navy’s first commanding officer of the only F-35C Stealth Strike Fighter Squadron. Inspired by "Top Gun," Scott pursued aviation after graduating from Pepperdine University, joining the naval aviator program and flying FA/18 Hornets.

Selected for the Blue Angels in 1999, he performed air shows for three seasons. He led VFA-83, earning multiple awards and flew 91 combat missions during five deployments, amassing over 6,300 flight hours and 658 carrier arrested landings.

Scott became an FA-18 instructor, participated in Iraq's "shock and awe" campaign in 2003, and served as Aide de Camp to the U.S. Northern and Pacific Commands. He commanded an FA-18 squadron with two tours in Afghanistan and later ran the Navy’s F-35 program, leading the first stealth fighter squadron. Though he retired in 2013, he joined the Patriots Jet Team, and continues his airshow and aviation career flying in major films.
