Scheyden Precision Sun Eyewear

Scheyden Sunglasses Style, Quality, Function, and much more....
Is There Really Any Difference?
A pair of sunglasses seems so simple -- it's two pieces of tinted glass or plastic in some sort of plastic or metal frame. How much more straightforward can something get? It turns out that there are many different things you can do with two pieces of glass, and these things can have a big effect on you when you use the lenses.

There are four things that a good pair of sunglasses should do for you:

  1. Eye protection from the sun is very important in the prevention of cumulative long-term eye damage. It is critical that eye protection be successful in blocking out 100% of all UV-A and UV-B light, without distortion, to prevent permanent Retina problems and Cataracts.
  2. Sunglasses provide protection from intense light. When the eye receives too much light, it naturally closes the iris. Once it has closed the iris as far as it can, the next step is squinting. If there is still too much light, as there can be when sunlight is reflecting off of snow, the result is damage to the retina. Good sunglasses can block light entering the eyes by as much as 97 percent to avoid damage.
  3. Sunglasses provide protection from glare. Certain surfaces, such as water, can reflect a great deal of light, and the bright spots can be distracting or can hide objects.

  4. Sunglasses eliminate specific frequencies of light. Certain frequencies of light can blur vision, and others can enhance contrast. Choosing the right color for your sunglasses lets them work better in specific situations.
When you buy a pair of cheap sunglasses, you often give up all of these benefits and can even make things worse. For example, if your sunglasses offer no UV protection, you increase your exposure to UV rays. The cheap sunglasses block some of the light, causing your iris to open to allow more light in. This lets in more of the UV light as well, increasing the damage UV light can cause to the retina.

The biggest problem with cheap sunglasses is in the way the lenses are made. Inexpensive sunglasses have lenses made of ordinary plastic with a thin tinted coating on them. While the tint color and a similar frame design may make them look like Scheyden sunglasses, the actual lenses are very different.

Frame material - The material used to make the frames is often a huge factor in cost and durability. Most inexpensive sunglasses use simple plastic or wire frames

So there is a difference. Buying the right pair of good sunglasses for the conditions in which you use them gives you maximum protection and performance.

Scheyden Sunglasses are hand-made with the finest materials available, and comes with a lifetime warranty. The handmade frames are constructed from titanium for strength and durability as well as lightweight. The 9 -layers of our mineral glass lenses (7 layers in non-polarized) offers the clearest view that can be obtained with all the eye protection that you will ever need. Blocks 100% of UVA and B Rays at 405 nanometers. The ultimate protection from the suns harmful rays (either CR-39 or mineral-glass lenses).

Scheyden Sunglasses Lens Coating:

  • Hyerophobic Coating: Repels water and perspiration, and makes cleaning simple.
  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Magnesium Hexaflouride coating absorbs reflective back glare and reduces eye fatigue. 100% de-centered corrected lenses.
  • Lenses: Hand ground and polished for finest, clear, and distortion free vision.
  • Flash Mirror Coating: Thermally applied silver dioxide does all the work of squinting for you (CR-39 lenses do not come with flash mirror coating).
Scheyden Sunglasses has taken their already cockpit friendly sunglass line to another level. The latest design known as the "Dual Rx Flip-up" allows one to have a prescription lens mounted underneath the spring-loaded flip-up lens.

The glasses should be considered a pair of prescription sunglasses with the ability to adjust for low light conditions in the wink of and eye. Magnets are used to hold the tinted lenses down in place until the magnetic bond is broken by light forward pressure with your thumb. Up go your tinted lenses and your clear corrected lenses remain.
For busy activities such as piloting an aircraft and removing a clip-on and replacing them can add to an already heavy workload. With Scheyden Dual Rx Flip-Up your tinted lenses are permanently attached and ready when the glare becomes too much to handle.


Finally something new that a pilot can use! Well, here it is. The newest thing on the market for pilots turns out to be a timeless classic, the Flip Up Sunglasses. This is not an ordinary flip up. In fact, most people don't even know that it is a flip up sunglass until it's moved into the "up" position.
