Pilot Progressive vs. Traditional Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses have long been favored for their ability to correct vision at multiple distances seamlessly. Traditionally, the upper portion of the lens focuses on distant objects, while the lower portion aids in near vision.

However, for wearers who need to focus on near objects through the upper part of the lens, this standard configuration falls short.

How do Pilot Progressive Lenses differ from traditional progressive lenses?

Pilot progressive lenses redefine the traditional progressive design.

Traditional progressive lenses focus on distant objects in the upper part of the lens and near objects in the lower part.

Pilot progressive lenses offer an additional segment for near vision at the top, providing wearers with improved versatility and clarity, especially when glancing upward.

Pilot lenses minimize oblique aberrations, ensuring superior personalized lens performance with near-elimination of peripheral blur.

This innovative architecture provides pilots with enhanced flexibility and clarity.

Advanced Technology for Superior Performance

Endless Pilot Progressive lenses integrate IOT Digital Ray-Path 2 Technology, a cutting-edge advancement that revolutionizes personalized lens design.

By intelligently incorporating the wearer’s accommodation into traditional calculations, this technology minimizes oblique aberrations more effectively than ever before.

Whether scanning instruments, reading charts, or focusing on controls, wearers can trust in the precision and clarity of these lenses.

Lenses Designed for Pilots, Engineered for Excellence

Endless Pilot Progressive lenses are categorized under Camber Steady Plus Progressive, making them ideal for pilots who require an additional near power zone in the upper portion of the lens.

Whether wearers have mild or complex prescriptions, these lenses accommodate a wide range of needs with ease.

Wildly Compatible

Compatibility is key in aviation eyewear, and Endless Pilot Progressive lenses do nothing short of excel.

Compatible with any blank provider, lens index, coatings, machinery supplier, and LMS, these lenses offer versatility and convenience without compromise. 

Comfortable and High Performance Lenses for Pilots

The benefits of pilot lenses, which have precise near vision in both the upper and lower areas of the lens, extend far beyond traditional eyewear solutions.

  • Fewer unnecessary head movements
  • Less visual strain
  • Optimal ergonomics
  • Effortless transition between different viewing areas
  • Greater comfort and crisp, clear vision

Personalization for Maximum Performance

Pilot progressive lenses can be further personalized to suit the unique needs and frames of the wearer.

A complete set of individualization parameters ensures optimal performance and comfort, tailored to specific preferences and needs.

Compensated power calculation guarantees wearers perceive the correct power at every distance and direction of gaze, including when viewing electronic devices up close.

Meanwhile, optimized accommodative object space minimizes oblique aberrations, resulting in consistent, stable power distribution regardless of prescription or frame style.
