Lens Technology

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.

FLT Lens Technology plus minus

FLT lenses deliver Method Seven's aviation-specific notch filtering in a lightweight, impact-resistant polymer. Engineered as an alternative to traditional mineral glass, these non-polarized lenses combine a neutral gray base with a blue flash mirror coating to manage intense sunlight while preserving natural color perception. Anti-reflective interior coatings reduce distracting reflections, while protective surface treatments support durability and clear vision. Their lightweight construction makes FLT lenses particularly well suited for aerobatic flying, open-air aircraft, and extended wear.

18% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

At 18% Visible Light Transmission (VLT), Method Seven lenses provide a versatile tint for a broad range of daytime flying conditions, from overcast skies to bright sunshine. Advanced notch filtering selectively reduces harsh light while preserving useful visual information, natural color perception, and contrast. This balanced light transmission makes 18% VLT a practical choice for pilots flying in varied weather, lighting conditions, and aircraft.

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.

Spring-loaded, rubber-coated metal clips attach securely to compatible frames, while the lightweight flip-up design allows quick transitions between tinted and clear vision.

Visor Alternate

"I first tried these Clip-ons yesterday and must say they work! Felt ok over my prescription glasses. Hoping these will serve as an alternate to the aircraft visors. Thanks."

— Wade L. (5/5)

Amazing new clip-one

"I needed good non-polarized clip on so I could see the heads up display in my new car. Was searching for fishing clip on and somehow your ad pulled up. I was thrilled because my husband is a pilot and I knew these would be exceptional. And they are! Thank you for showing up on a fishing search!"

— Lynne B. (5/5)

A bit too dark

"It’s good to have the convenience of flipping the sunglasses up and down, because I find them too dark to effectively read the instrument panel. So I found myself constantly adjusting to viewing inside and outside the cockpit."

— Michael L. (4/5)

Perfect

"Very good quality. Best protection"

— PHILIPPE J. (5/5)

this is the best size for my glasses

"I had a large aviation size Method Seven made about a year ago and it scratched my nose. This size does not. Great in the Cockpit of a Challenger 650"

— Andrew T. (5/5)
