Freedom Black Frame Geen Non-Polarized Lenses

When it comes to sunglasses for pilots there are a number of things you need to take into consideration. First and foremost, if you pilot an airplane with a glass cockpit you should stick with non-polarized sunglasses like the Eagle Eyes® Freedom Non-Polarized sunglasses.

The reason is that polarized sunglasses present several important issues that may affect how well pilots can see those ordinary things you need to see. For example, we count on a glint of light from opposing aircraft in order to more easily see them. In addition, if you fly in an aircraft with glass instruments and turn your head just the wrong way you will not be able to see the instruments.

An additional issue with ordinary sunglasses is how well they block ultraviolet and blue light. 

UV light (Ultraviolet light)  can cause serious injury to your head, your eyes, and your skin. The higher up in the atmosphere that you fly, the stonger the ultraviolet radiation will be, and the more serious the injuries to one of your most import assets - your eyes - can be!

When pilots select their sunglasses it is important to consider whether or not the pilot sunglasses you are considering will block blue light from passing through the lenses and into your eyes. By blocking blue light a pilot's visual acuity will be sharper, and everything will be easier and clearer to see.

While there are a number of excellent sunglasses for pilots, one of the models we recommend are the Eagle Eyes® Freedom Non-Polarized sunglasses. Not only do these Eagle Eyes® Freedom Non-Polarized sunglasses block blue light and the majority of ultraviolet light, they come with hinged temples and adjustable nose pads, making them very comfortable to wear, even for long flights.

Not only that, but they are very competitively with AO Original Pilot and Randolph Aviator sunglasses, making it easier to have quality several pairs of pilot sunglasses stored in cars, aircraft, flight bags or your office desk.
