As headset technology improved, the ear cups on those headsets got tighter and tighter to passively reduce noise. As those cups got tighter, pilots and other headset-wearers began noticing that the rigid frames of their sunglasses were doing two pretty unfortunate things:
The founder of Flying Eyes tried many brands of sunglasses to find ones that were comfortable, effective at reducing noise leaks, and actually protected his eyes. Why was that so difficult? He figured if it didn't exist, he could make it exist, and - voila! - Flying Eyes Optics was born.
It didn't take long to realize that the same things that make Flying Eyes great for pilots were needed for other activities. We discovered that motorcyclists (and other people who need to wear full helmets) weren't wearing sunglasses at all because they couldn't find any that would fit comfortably inside their helmet. That's so dangerous for your eyes! The next iteration of Flying Eyes made sure to cater to headset- and helmet-wearers alike. Our glasses fit perfectly inside of most motorcycle helmets and allow riders to block 100% of UV rays without sacrificing the custom fit of their helmet. Recently, with the addition of our ophthalmic line, we can finally service gamers who have long had to take breaks between matches to massage their temples.
Our temples are made of a super-flexible, extremely patented material that allows the temples to conform to your head instead of curving around your ears. They're easy to put on and take off while wearing a headset or helmet. The flexibility of the temple material and shatterproof polycarbonate lenses means these glasses are very hard to break (seriously, you practically have to try). I mean, look at this flexibility.
