Why Our Prescription Lenses Stand Apart

When it comes to prescription lenses, not all are created equal. At Flying Eyes, we provide high-end, custom-made prescription lenses that offer unmatched clarity, durability, and performance—designed specifically for our unique frames and the needs of people who wear helmets or headsets.

 Premium Materials at No Extra Charge

Advanced Lens Materials

We offer Trivex, high-index, and super high-index options—far superior to cheap CR-39 plastic lenses.

Finest Anti-Reflective Coatings

Included as standard to reduce glare and enhance visual acuity.

Lens Tints & Mirror Finishes

Choose your desired tint or mirror effect without paying extra.

Custom-made in usa

Our prescription lenses are fully custom crafted to your exact prescription. Our lab uses the most advanced digital surfacing and coating technology available today. We do not rely on “stock” lens blanks like many inexpensive providers do—those are typically small, flat lenses designed to fit only the tiniest frames.

  • Precise curvature and prescription matching

  • Unmatched lens clarity & distortion control

Budget providers often charge for each of these elements individually, we believe you deserve top-tier quality without hidden costs or added complexity.

Straightforward, Transparent Pricing

We make lens ordering easy: Single Vision, Lined multifocal or Progressive. Each comes with everything included—no upsells for better materials, coatings, or tint.

Industry-Leading Warranty

We back every pair of prescription lenses with a two-year, no-questions-asked warranty. If anything goes wrong, we’ll make it right—simple as that.

Prescription FAQs

Can I use my insurance to purchase prescription Flying Eyes?

Yes! With our partner, Binkey, we can take insurance on our website so you can get reimbursed for your purchase! When you check out, please make sure that you see the product "Complimentary Vision Insurance Claim Filing Service" in your cart. Once you complete check out on our website, you will get an email with a code that will prompt you to go to Binkey's website and start filing your claim. You have 1 month to complete the quick claim process, and they will be in contact with your insurance to reimburse you for your purchase of Flying Eyes. Additionally, we're happy to sell to any optical practice in the US and have partnered practices across the country if you would prefer to use your insurance in person. Look here to see if you have a partnered practice near you, or have your doctor reach out to us to purchase a pair for you as a B2B sale. That way they can process that insurance claim for you directly with your provider.

Can you do prescription lenses in-house?

Yes! We can certainly make prescription lenses in all of our frames that we offer on our website. We work with a specialty lens lab that is very familiar with our frames and lens tints. We have a certified optician (ABOC) on staff that can help answer any specific questions about getting those lenses done online or in-person. If you have a local eye doctor that you would like to work with, you are more than welcome to purchase the frames from our website and get those lenses done in person.

Do you sell the frames by themselves so I can just get prescription lenses added?

We do not sell frames without lenses. Even if you need a prescription, your optician will need the stock lenses on hand in order to correctly manufacture the curvature, size, and shape of your prescription lenses.

My PD is on my Prescription. Why do you need me to mark my pupils?

Pupilary Distance (PD) is only one part of the equation. To ensure your lenses are not only clear but ergonomically perfect, we require:

  • Pupillary Distance (PD): For precise optical center alignment.
  • Segment/Fitting Height: Especially critical for bifocals and progressives, ensuring the lens transitions occur exactly where your eyes need them.

These measurements allow us to optimize your lens performance for helmet and headset compatibility—not just general vision correction.

Can I get Flying Eyes Sunglasses with progressive and/or prescription lenses?

All Flying Eyes eyewear currently available are prescription compatible! You can purchase our eyewear from our online store or one of our retailers and take them to your own optician to add your prescription lenses. You can find retailers and eye care professionals that carry our unique line of eyewear here.

Tell me more about your Prescription Lenses. What are they made of?

There are many different types of materials available for prescription lenses. We offer Trivex, Hi-index, and super high-index options—far superior to cheap CR-39 plastic lenses. We recommend Trivex® for all standard prescriptions and Hi-Index lenses for stronger prescriptions. Trivex® offers the same impact resistance to Polycarbonate, yet offers optical clarity similar to mineral glass. And, Hi-Index and super high-index lenses allow for stronger prescriptions without making the lenses too thick or heavy.

We also offer the finest Anti-Reflective Coatings as standard to reduce glare and enhance visual acuity.

Trivex is a registered trademark of PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.

Can I get prescription lenses from Flying Eyes if I'm not in the US?

At this time, we do not offer our prescription lens services to our international customers due to the high shipping cost and long shipping times associated with the order. If you want to get Rx lenses in Flying Eyes frames, you can purchase the frame with the lens tint that you want your eye doctor to replicate (or for the Eyeglasses, select "None for Local Rx"), and you can bring the frame to your local optician to make the lenses for you!

Can I get a Prescription Lined Bifocal in a Golden Eagle Sport?

Usually, yes! There may be a time where we can't do a lined bifocal, and that's something we would only be able to find out once we submit your prescription to the lens lab. If your prescription doesn't work with a lined bifocal in the lens material we prefer to use, our prescription manager will contact you with options on how to move forward. (Note: if our prescription manager does have to reach out, the prescription process will be prolonged.)

Do you have photochromic lenses?

We do not offer specialized lenses in-house, but since our frames are compatible with any prescription, you can get photochromic lenses added to your Flying Eyes via your preferred optician.

Can I get replacement Prescription Lenses for my existing Flying Eyes frames?

Yes, you can! Check out THIS page, select the lenses for the frame you have and choose the "Flying Eyes Rx (for US customers only)" variant option to go through the process of selecting your lens type and tint.

The process for creating Prescription Lenses specially for you will take a minimum of two weeks.

Can I use an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) card on your website?

Possibly! Your card should work if there are enough funds available, but it does vary. However, our partnered opticians should be able to accept that type of payment (you can use our Optician Locator Map to find one closest to you). If you don't have one near you or would rather purchase online, Contact Us and we can send you an invoice via PayPal for your order instead!

Buying From Your Local Retailer

FIND a Local Retailer

Don't have an optician that carries Flying Eyes near you, or prefer to use another optician, don't worry. This is all you need to know to have your prescription filled for our frames.

  1. Contact your optician and confirm they can make curved lenses for sunglass frames. We strongly recommend they use Trivex lenses for the clarity, impact resistance, and minimal distortion.
    (Golden Eagle® Sports have a base 8 curve lens. Cooper Aviator and Kingfisher use a base 6 curve. Athene, Luzon, Noctua, Otus, Narrow Ninox, and Ninox use a base 4 curve.)
  2. Purchase the style you'd like from our website (or from one of our Retailers).
  3. Once you frames arrive, take them to your optician. They'll measure your pupillary distance and the fitting/segment height for the frame.
  4. Your optician will send the measurements, prescription, and the frame to their lens lab and have your lenses made and you'll be contacted to pick up your new glasses!

Contact Us if you have any trouble or need any help during this process. Alternatively, your optician can contact us by phone (512-213-2390) or email (support@flyingeyesoptics.com) if they have any questions.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Pick a frame and finish you like.
  2. Select your prescription lens type, tint, and other info.
  3. Review your selected options. Make sure everything has been filled out correctly and add your purchase to your cart. If everything looks correct then you’re now ready to check out!
  4. Once you have made your purchase, email us your doctor-signed, non-expired eyeglasses prescription to rxsupport@flyingeyesoptics.com. Include your first name, last name, and order number in the subject line. Please do not send us a physical copy of your prescription. An email or form entry guarantees your prescription does not get misplaced.
  5. Measurements: If we do not have your markings for the selected frame on file, we will immediately send you your chosen frames with clear, plastic "demo" lenses installed. When they arrive, adjust them on your face where they'll sit and stay comfortably then follow the instructions on the included pamphlet to mark your pupils using the provided marker and measuring tool. We suggest having someone else do this while you look into the distance, but you can do it yourself in front of a mirror. (TIP: Focus on something "past" the mirror or person helping you to ensure your pupils are aligned correctly, as this will affect the usefulness of your prescription.)

    NOTE: While your prescription might have your PD (pupillary distance) and OC (ocular height) information, we will need your measurements in the frame you pick. Different frames will sit higher/lower, and if these numbers aren’t accurate, your prescription won't align correctly.
  6. Once you've marked your pupils, use the included return shipping label to send them back to us.

    We will confirm your pupil distance and ocular height when they arrive back at our headquarters and order your lenses right away. The rest of the process takes approximately 2-4 weeks once we receive your marked lenses. We'll keep you updated via email.

    Contact us     if you have any questions about this process or if you have a special request for your order or
    If you're not in the USA and interested in having us make your lenses, please contact us so we can discuss your options!

We do not accept insurance, so if you're needing to use vision benefits, check out the map of partnered opticians above and follow the step-by-step guide below to having your prescription done locally (if you don't have a partner near you).

Prescription lens orders are final. If you're dissatisfied with the frame, we're happy to issue a partial refund for your frame return. We cannot refund prescription lenses, yet if there's something wrong with your lenses when they arrive, please let us know within 30 days, so we can fix them for you.
Please note: While our lab is great at handling strong prescriptions, especially in high-wrap frames, diopters greater than +/- 3.00 may take longer than normal due to the complex nature of making an undistorted lens for a wrapped (sunglass) frame.

Note: If you picked a frame that has Clip-On options (Athene, Luzon, Otus, Ninox, Narrow Ninox, and Noctua) you should also see those that you selected in your cart. If you did not select those add-ons and would like to get Clip-ons with your compatible eyeglasses, please visit the collection linked above, go the matching listing and add those to your cart before checkout.
Note: If you're using a discount code, it will only apply to the frames, not the prescription lenses.

Eyeglass Measurement Guide

To make your prescription glasses perfectly, we need two measurements:

Pupillary Distance (PD): The distance between the centers of your pupils.
Fitting Height: The vertical distance from the bottom inside edge of the frame to your pupils.

What You’ll Need:

  • A mirror (or a friend to help)
  • The provided measuring ruler
  • Flying Eyes frames with demo lenses
  • A marker

Step 1: Measure Your Pupillary Distance (PD)

  1. Put on the frames with the demo lenses.
  2. Hold the ruler horizontally across your face, centered over your nose.
  3. Look straight ahead into a mirror (or have someone face you directly).
  4. Read the number on the ruler at the center of each pupil:Record the right eye number.Record the left eye number.
  5. Write both numbers in the “Pupillary Distance” section at the bottom of the ruler. It’s totally normal if the two numbers are slightly different.

Step 2: Measure Your Fitting Height

  1. With the glasses still on, look straight ahead.
  2. Use the marker to place a small dot on each lens where your pupils are.
  3. Remove the glasses.
  4. Starting from the inner bottom of the frame, use the ruler to measure vertically up to the dot you made on each lens.
  5. Write both numbers in the “Fitting Height” section of the ruler. It’s fine if your fitting height is different for each eye just record both numbers.

Step 3: Fill Out the Bottom of the Ruler

  • First and last name
  • Frame model or name
  • PD measurements (Right & Left)
  • Fitting height for each eye

Final Step: Send It Back

Leave the dot markings on the lenses they help us make your glasses accurately. Return the glasses with the completed ruler.
