Flying Eyes’ improved frames with polycarbonate lenses are now certified to meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015 safety standards

AUSTIN, TEXAS—October 12, 2018—Flying Eyes, a line of sunglasses Summer Hawk Optics, Inc., announced a safety improvement to its existing Golden Eagle Sport and Hawk Convertible frames for equestrians. The two frames are now certified to meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015 safety standards.

Flying Eyes delivers precision eyewear that improves vision by enhancing contrast for better depth perception with lightweight, shatterproof polycarbonate lenses. The flexibility and thinness of the temples (or arms) of the frames allow the sunglasses to be worn with protective headgear.

Although a pilot for more than 20 years, Dean Siracusa, president of Flying Eyes, was raised in the equestrian world, and he has seen the transition to the modern helmet.

“Advancements in safety and performance have led to a tighter, more form-fitted helmet, which leaves little or no room for protective eyewear,” said Siracusa. “We are the only eyewear company that offers equestrians this level of safety and optical clarity, and still be comfortable while wearing a helmet
