November 19, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - Method Seven is proud to announce that they now offer prescription pilot sunglasses for men and women. The Santa Cruz, CA-based company produces the best sunglasses for pilots, and was the first to design a scientifically researched-and-developed range of flight glasses.
Customized to the requirements of pilots, Method Seven pilot sunglasses incorporate notch filtering technology, which enhances contrast whether looking at cloud formations or flight instruments. The frames are hand-tooled with Japanese titanium for headset and oxygen mask compatibility as well as comfort. All of Method Seven’s pilot sunglasses offer full UV protection, which blocks ultraviolet light, and guards against infrared heat energy, keeping eyes cool and focused on long flights.
The company offers several types of sunglasses for pilots. The Method Seven SKY series contains eleven elements molecularly bonded within a German crystalline lens, including rare-earth neodymium. Thirteen proprietary coatings are applied to the lens to block all harmful UV, absorb infrared heat and provide balanced color and clarity.
The Method Seven FLT series, also designed for pilots, is the first to offer notch filtering in a lightweight, shatterproof lens. Constructed from a durable polymer with dual high-quality coatings, FLT series lenses are at the cutting edge of aviation optics. Enhanced contrast, impossible clarity, and next-level performance make the FLT series above and beyond standard aviator sunglasses. Method Seven has taken a classic silhouette and packed it with a formidable combination of streamlined design elements and performance features that are sure to impress. The frame itself is a strong, lightweight and flexible titanium alloy.
Method Seven’s line of prescription aviator sunglasses are the newest addition to the FLT series. Specially designed for pilots with bifocal, single vision, and progressive prescriptions, Method Seven prescription pilot sunglasses and are constructed from the same high-quality polymer as the standard lenses, with the same clarity, contrast, infrared and ultraviolet protection. FLT24 Rx prescription lenses incorporate advanced notch filtering technology and are offered in a range of magnification powers and segment heights for Bifocal RX prescription lenses.
Several factors contribute to effective eye protection for pilots. These include the material used, filters, coatings, compatibility with helmets or other head pieces, VLT and design. VLT, or Visible Light Transmission, is the percentage of light which is transmitted through the lens to the eye. Method Seven’s flight glasses for pilots vary by VLT. A higher VLT means a lighter tint to the lens, thus letting more light through to the eye. A lower VLT indicates a darker tint and blocks more light. Pacific Northwestern pilots often prefer a higher VLT to accommodate frequent fog, whereas pilots in the Southwest tend to lean toward lower VLT for intense brightness.
Protection Against UVA and UVB light is another critical factor to consider when choosing pilot sunglasses. UVA, which is long wave UV light, makes up about 95% of ultraviolet light that reaches the eyes and skin. UVB rays comprise the other 5%, and are responsible for sunburn. The best eye protection for pilots effectively blocks both types of light. Method Seven non-polarized flight glasses block infrared heat energy and ultraviolet light to keep eyes cool and focused on extended flights.
An alternative to polarized sunglasses, notch filters are optical filters that selectively transmit a portion of the optical spectrum. This feature makes it possible for aviators to view their instrument panel without the distortion brought on by polarized sunglasses. Method Seven flight glasses are crafted with advanced notch filtering technology to minimize glare in the cockpit while enhancing contrast, providing a useful indicator for pilots in seeing conflicting traffic early. The VLT of FLT24 Rx prescription lenses allows high levels of safe light into the eyes, which is ideal for pilots who require prescription sunglasses, whether bifocal, single vision or progressive.
Coatings contribute to factors such as clarity, glare reduction and color balancing, which are all critical elements to consider when choosing flight glasses. The Method Seven SKY series uses 13 different coatings, aiding visibility, acuity, and ability to perform visual tasks. An anti-reflective coating also protects eyes by preventing peripheral light from reflecting across the back of the lens and into the eye. Flight glasses by Method Seven are manufactured using high-quality material and are compatible with other pilot headgear, such as headsets, oxygen masks and helmets. Experience all-day comfort, without nagging pressure on the sides of the head or bridge of the nose.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned his Democratic colleagues that Senate Republican candidates have an “enormous” financial advantage heading into the final three weeks before Election Day and could drown Democrats’ chances of winning the Senate in a “tsunami” of last-minute spending.

For nearly five decades, the United States’ Taiwan policy has centred on strategic ambiguity by not declaring whether it would intervene militarily in a potential Taiwan conflict. This policy – designed to deter Beijing from using force while preventing Taipei from formally declaring independence – is being challenged by realist US strategists amid a broader debate over America’s role in the world, growing constraints on US military might and a shifting regional balance of power driven by...

The U.S. Army has received its first South Korean-made mobile howitzer system as part of efforts to replace its aging artillery systems, a U.S. defense news outlet reported Monday. The Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC), manufactured by Hanwha Defense USA, a U.S. subsidiary of South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace Co., was displayed at a U.S. Army event held in Washington earlier this month, Defense News reported, citing U.S. Army officials. "We're excited to have that and get ready to test it," Brig. Gen. Robert Mikesh Jr., the Army's portfolio management executive for offensive fires, was quoted as saying. "And get that soldier feedback, that we think is so important." In August, Hanwha Defense USA was selected to provide prototypes based on a wheeled variant of the bestselling K9 Thunder self-propelled artillery for the MTC program, which aims to develop a highly mobile 155 mm artillery system to replace the Army's aging M777 towed howitzers. The contract calls for the delivery of six MTC prototypes, with an option for an additional 12 systems, and has a cumulative value of up to $262.9 million, a
This year, the combined operating profits of Korea’s semiconductor companies are expected to soar well beyond 500 trillion won ($373 billion), reaching unprecedented levels. Some have likened this extraordinary performance to winning a lottery. But I see it differently. What we are witnessing today, I believe, is not a stroke of good fortune. Rather, it is the culmination of decades of perseverance, sacrifice and dedication. As Koreans know well, countless companies, engineers and technicians have worked since the 1970s to build the foundations of the nation’s semiconductor industry. After nearly half a century of accumulated effort, the seeds they planted are finally coming to fruition. A similar story of long-term commitment can be found in the rapid growth of international students choosing to study in Korea. In 2023, the Ministry of Education launched the Study Korea 300K Project, setting a goal of attracting 300,000 international students by 2027. That target has already been achieved ahead of schedule, with the number of international students in Korea surpassing 300,000 this
Pending bills at the National Assembly proposing a cap on delivery platform fees charged to food businesses to reduce their financial burdens, particularly small businesses with limited customer bases, are raising questions about the effectiveness of the proposed changes. Industry experts have examined the current ecosystem, which consists of food-ordering platforms, participating businesses, customers who place orders and riders who deliver them. They found that the cap could reduce the burden on businesses using the platforms but shift that cost to other groups in the ecosystem, such as riders and consumers. Three bills proposing different versions of the cap are pending at the National Assembly. One was proposed by Rep. Lee Kang-ill of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Policy Committee. He proposed capping the combined brokerage fee, payment processing fee and advertising expenses at 15 percent of an order's value, while imposing a separate cap and a minimum floor on delivery fees. Rep. Park Jeong-hun of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) propo
North Korea has test-fired a tactical ballistic missile to upgrade a key component of its weapons systems, which it called a "big success," the country's state media reported Tuesday. The report came a day after South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) detected multiple ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang area toward the East Sea. North Korea's missile administration "test-fired a tactical ballistic missile on Oct. 12 to confirm the success in the research for the technical upgrading of an important core element," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. The administration claimed that the upgrade "was a big success heralding an important change in improving the performance and sophistication of all offensive weapon systems," it added, describing the test as part of regular activities. The North did not disclose further details about the test-firing. The JCS earlier noted that North Korea launched multiple types of ballistic missiles, with one specific kind of missile flying more than 900 kilometers, and that South Korean and U.S. authorities were conducting a detailed
