Millions of prescription eyewear users who also wear helmets or headsets may be silently enduring pain, discomfort, or degraded visual performance—without realizing the cause is their glasses. Flying Eyes Optics, a Texas-based innovator in performance eyewear, is encouraging opticians and eyewear retailers to recognize a growing need: properly fitting prescription eyewear that is compatible with modern headgear.
Patented Flying Eyes temples are flexible, 1mm thin and unbreakable.
While most opticians focus on frame shape, lens type, and basic measurements, they may overlook an increasingly common issue for patients who ride motorcycles, fly aircraft, wear hearing protection, or engage in tactical or industrial work. Traditional prescription frames—designed with thick, rigid temples—often cause pressure points, interfere with headset seals, or misalign optics when used with tight-fitting gear.
“Opticians are in the perfect position to help solve this problem, but they need to ask the right questions,” said a spokesperson for Flying Eyes. “If you ask your patient whether they regularly wear a helmet or headset, there’s a good chance the answer is yes. That one question can completely change which eyewear is most appropriate.”
Flying Eyes Optics offers a patented solution to this widespread but under-addressed issue. All Flying Eyes frames are designed with ultra-thin, 1mm flexible temples, engineered to slide under helmets and maintain a comfortable seal beneath headsets or ear protection. These frames are made from Resilamide™, an advanced aerospace polymer that provides both featherweight comfort and high durability. More importantly, they are fully compatible with prescription lenses—including high-index and progressive options.
The company reports that over 30% of patients in many markets wear helmets or headsets regularly. Standard prescription frames, in these cases, compromise both comfort and performance, often leading to frustration, eye strain, or patients forgoing their eyewear altogether during critical activities.
To help optical professionals serve this population, Flying Eyes is expanding its Rx partner program across North America and beyond. Opticians and optical retailers who join the program gain access to wholesale pricing, lens partner resources, staff training materials, and demo kits to introduce patients to a new standard in comfort-focused eyewear.
“Offering Flying Eyes gives opticians a way to truly differentiate their practice,” the spokesperson added. “It’s not just another frame line—it’s a problem-solving tool. And when you solve problems your competitors aren’t even noticing, you win long-term loyalty.”
