PROGRESSIVE FILTRATION

PILLA Progressive is a lens technology developed by PILLA and ZEISS that integrates both Chromashift and infrared lens technology. The keyword here is color gradient . This lens family offers athletes three clear advantages over standard ICE glass:
1. improved depth of field, 2. optimized color management and 3. "Live Light" management.

The new glass design offers variable color filtering and multiple color curves in a single glass. The Chromashift IR design allows the lens to focus the variance in a narrower spectral range of the color curves. Compared to the original design, the change from top to bottom in the glass has been reduced.

This new variation in filtering and light transmission allows the eye to reach its maximum focal potential while achieving variable filter saturation. The result is sharp distance vision, high image clarity and the ability for the wearer to instantly adjust light transmission depending on the direction of view through the lens.

New robust depth of field enhancement

The PILLA ZEISS progressive lenses create a situation where additional light is directed into the eye from the bottom of the lens. This results in an artificial narrowing of the iris, improving the eye's depth perception. This effect is similar to changing the aperture of a camera lens to achieve a longer focal length. Adjusting the iris allows for precise definition of the sight image, which is crucial in sport shooting to correctly estimate speed, trajectory and distance.

Infrared color management

Each of the PILLA ZEISS lenses features multiple filter curves in a single lens, thanks to our patented ICE infrared filter enhancers. By introducing a higher and a lower transmission curve in the same lens, the eye can effectively use color saturation to actively control image sharpness. For target shooters, the ability to "tune" the visual intensity of the target is particularly evident.

Dynamic light management

"Tuning Vision" is Pilla's trademark. For the past 25 years, we have focused on perfecting color and light management to provide our athletes with the ultimate benefit: crystal clear vision with an unfair advantage by improving vision through science.

The PILLA ZEISS ICE Progressive lenses allow the athlete to dynamically change the visual image through both filtering and light management. Depending on where the eyes look through the lens, the entire visual image changes instantly. This allows the wearer to change the way the visual image looks in real time. This offers a huge advantage in precise target acquisition.
