Lens Technology

A different approach to optics

We believe most sunglasses are too dark, overly polarized, and primarily about fashion. Maybe they make you squint less, but they don't help you see better.
We've accepted the major brands' offerings as their best effort. We wear our shades, everything looks darker, and that's (not) acceptable. Pilots have been using non-polarized lenses for years. Those companies tout the absence of polarizing as a feature, without anything else to offer, accept a bendy frame. In some cases, they are worse than using nothing at all.

Our technology is different.

We learned how to filter light with such precision that we can eliminate a specific wavelength (color/energy). Conversely, we know how to enhance a wavelength, like the specific red warning light in the cockpit of a 373 jet, and make an iPad screen come to life. We call this notch filtering "noise cancelling for your eyes", because our tech is so precise we clean up all the wavelengths you don't need, and give you more of what you do. Its music to the eyes. You see better. You are more relaxed. You keep your glasses on at all times. We help you have the best experience.

FLT Lens Technology plus minus

The Flight Lens is the first polymer lens to match the notch filtering of our SKY mineral glass lenses. This selective filtering removes light energy between primary colors, making Garmin displays and iPad colors crystal clear. The lens cuts through haze for improved distance vision and blocks infrared heat to keep your eyes cool. It’s an engineering marvel—our closest approach to mineral glass in a shatterproof polymer lens, featuring anti-fog, anti-scratch, and anti-reflective interior coatings. Non-polarized and designed for flying. Paired with our titanium frames, you’ll experience the lightest optics on the market, some as light as 17 grams—equivalent to a AA battery. The best materials and engineering result in a truly unique experience.

24% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

VLT measures the average light passing through a lens. The lower the number, the less light gets through (darker). Average lenses are 18% VLT, so our 24% VLT is on the lighter side. But remember, VLT is an average. We use notch flitering so our lenses can have a higher VLT than most (lighter), yet block more harsh light energy. The result? You get more good light to your eyes comfortably and safely. You make better, faster decisions and have less fatigue.

Frame Technology

Designed for flexibility, durability, and longevity, Method Seven Pilot eyewear won't break your headset seal, ensuring you never miss a radio call. Timeless style meets endless comfort, without interruption. Developed and tested with real pilots across various professional and general aviation aircraft and cockpit configurations.

The Ascent plus minus

The classic aviator—elevated. The Ascent is crafted from aerospace-grade titanium, offering unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and durability. Bayonet temples taper down to less than 1.00 mm, ensuring comfort and compatibility with headsets and flight helmets when properly fitted. This lightweight aviator is designed to minimize audio interruptions and never impede the use of oxygen equipment.

Titanium Frame Technology plus minus

Our titanium frames are hand-tooled by expert craftsmen, ensuring durability for everyday use and flexibility to conform to your head's shape. Titanium is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to corrosion, making these frames a great investment in essential flight gear that will last for years to come.

Method Seven Pilot

Method Seven scientifically develops eyewear in-house and rigorously tests it in the field. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of the greatest flight instrument of all: the human eye. We are committed to enhancing vision, providing unmatched clarity, and ensuring superior protection for all pilots.

Eric Tucker

Method Seven is all I wear when soul surfing the skies.

Airshow pilot Eric Tucker holds single-engine commercial, multiengine ATP, CFI, and glider and floatplane ratings, with over 6,000 hours logged. Coming from a long line of aviators, including his father who is an airshow pilot and crop duster, Tucker had his first airplane ride before he was born. Today, he wows crowds by landing a Piper J-3 Cub on top of an ambulance speeding down the runway at 55 mph.
