The Short Answer
Flying Eyes frames, fitted with lenses for your vision.
Through our collaboration with Flying Eyes Optics, Bright Side Optical gives Austin clients a local place to explore the frame fit and get personal help with lenses. If you already love your Flying Eyes, bring them in. We will inspect the frames, talk through how you use them, take the relevant measurements, and recommend lens options when the frame and prescription are suitable.
Still deciding on the frame? Ask to see our Flying Eyes sample kit in person. You can compare how the shapes sit on your face and how the thin temples feel with your own headset or helmet. Please contact us before visiting to confirm availability.

Start with the frame you have—or see the fit before you decide.
View the sample kit
See Flying Eyes examples at our Austin optical, compare proportions and fit, and test the temple feel with the gear you actually wear. Kit contents and availability can vary.
Make the whole pair work
Prescription clarity, comfortable frame position, headset or helmet fit, and your personal style all matter. We help you look at the complete pair together.
Why the Lens Conversation Matters
Your frame is only part of the experience.
Flying Eyes designs are known for slim, flexible temples intended to feel comfortable under headsets and helmets. The right lenses depend on what you need to see through that frame: distance outdoors, a cockpit panel, a phone, or a mix of tasks.
We can talk through single-vision, progressive, and prescription sun lens possibilities, including tint and glare considerations for your specific use. The final recommendation depends on your prescription, the exact frame, measurements, and laboratory compatibility. For flying, test any tint with your aircraft displays and follow the requirements of your medical certificate.

For Your Visit
Bring the equipment your glasses have to live with.
Bring your Flying Eyes frames if you have them, your current glasses and prescription, and your headset or helmet when practical. Pilots can also bring photos of their normal seated cockpit view and approximate working distances to the panel and devices. We can confirm sample kit availability when you contact us.
Flying Eyes in Austin FAQ
Questions before you come in?
Can Bright Side Optical put prescription lenses in my Flying Eyes frames?
Bring your Flying Eyes frames to Bright Side Optical in Austin. We can assess the frame, your prescription, and the lens shape, then discuss suitable lens options and a quote. Some frame and prescription combinations may have limitations.
Can I see Flying Eyes glasses in person in Austin?
Yes. Bright Side Optical has a Flying Eyes sample kit you can view in person. Contact us before visiting so we can confirm the kit is available and set aside time to help you compare the fit.
Do I need to buy my Flying Eyes frames from Bright Side Optical?
No. You can bring Flying Eyes frames you already own for a lens consultation. We will inspect the frame before recommending lenses or accepting it for an order.
What should I bring for a Flying Eyes lens consultation?
Bring the frame, a current eyeglass prescription, your present glasses, and the headset or helmet you use if practical. For pilots, photos and measurements of your panel and near tasks can help us discuss lens design.
Can I get progressive or sunglass lenses in Flying Eyes frames?
Depending on the frame, prescription, measurements, and intended use, progressive, single-vision, or sun lens options may be possible. We will review the details with you before ordering; a sample kit does not guarantee every lens design will work in every frame.
