Lenses For Professional Pilot

And then put him in a FT-28 or 35. I speak from personal experience.

+1 to this. I've fit a few pilots and they never like a PAL, it's redo city. FT all the way.

I've never had any issues whatsoever with my PAL's when flying. Nor any polar lens. Ever. (I'm strictly GA mind you.) *shrug*

I've never had a problem either but then i"m sitting in row 88C

I agree with most. Even with a wider design like Shamir or Varilux, they likely would have to get used to turning their head. FT28 would probably be best. He can have them fitted with intermediate add if near reading is not needed on the job (I don't know, I'm not a pilot).

OR contact Quest Vision Care where you pilfered that image from, and presumably where you get your specialty lenses from. Come on man. If you are going to shill, at least shill your own stuff.

You are correct, I have used Quest for Pilot Lenses (and others). So many here are working for Chains and have nowhere to get them. So yes, call me a shill if you need too.

Optiboard is about sharing experiences, knowledge ,and resources with other like minded optical professionals. To dig up an old post for the sole purpose of telling us you have specialty lenses for pilots is pretty shilly. It would be bad enough if that's all it was, but to take someone else's work, Quest, and pass it off as your own, is downright unprofessional. Your original post could have said:

"I have used Quest Optical lab in FL for pilot lenses before. They are able to provide very complex lenses for unique situations. You should contact Michael Walach for more information, he does great work. Here is his website and contact info."

That would have been a much more professional post.

With a patient that I have I even tried Varilux X series personalized with sapphire A/R. And he is very very happy with them. The only problem is that they are very expensive.

At the risk of Quill's wrath, and whoever wants to take credit for them - that looks like a mightily complicated solution. If it so pleases the Board - I'd like to know what this lens fixes and how? Nothing ad hominem. Pilots are difficult, those lenses seem difficult. Quest knows their stuff. Trying to wrap my head around the kitchen sink solution.

Spell my name again wrong and my wrath you shall have!! I kid.

If you mean how does that previous picture posted fix the problem for the helicopter pilot, it doesn't. It was just a promotional photo of a pilot that poster took from someone else's website and slapped it up on optiboard. I'm sure Quest could come up with a lens for this helicopter pilot but it wouldn't look like that picture. That photo if for airline pilots. Top seg mid distance for overhead gauges, middle distance with a sun clip for out the window, middle trifocals seg for forward gauges and bottom near seg for reading navigation charts/iPad.
