SOLID FILTRATION

Pilla and ZEISS use specific filter profiles to achieve targeted visual results. The lighting conditions, target color and background determine the performance requirements of the lens. Pilla is a high-performance eyewear company that offers customized solutions for the visual needs of its athletes. When you want a lens that performs in all conditions, you have to make sacrifices in visual performance. Our athletes and customers turn to Pilla for specific lens features that provide maximum performance in all lighting conditions, target colors and backgrounds they encounter in competition or on the field.

All of our new Chromashift lenses feature exclusive ZEISS Chromashift coatings that reduce glare and optimize these special filters. Each lens family we develop has a targeted color enhancement profile based on exclusive ZEISS technology that can only be found in Pilla products. Below you can learn more about the different lens families and their respective filter properties.

Name of the glasses

C - Chromashift

Chromashift technology is an integral part of most of our current lenses and is combined with other filtration processes. Chromashift is an advanced lens technology that deliberately manipulates the visual representation of color to create a more intense color profile and "shift" the actual color perception of the intended target. By using special dyes, faster registration of certain color bands is achieved. In addition, Chromashift can change the way the eye perceives color.

The fundamental technical advantage of Chromashift is the targeted color manipulation that enables precise visual registration. Athletes can therefore benefit from this competitive advantage by using color shifting to gain a specific technical advantage.

ED - Enhanced Definition

Enhanced Definition lenses are the result of a special filtering process in which our engineers have optimized the entire color spectrum to create a balanced color profile. The goal of this family of lenses is to provide athletes with crystal clear definition. By applying a universal color lift, the eye is presented with a balanced color saturation that enables high-resolution imaging. This combination of color resolution and color saturation gives the athlete an improved definition of the visual image. "Everything you see appears more vivid."

For athletes seeking an intense color profile with a natural rendering of their visual environment, Enhanced Definition lenses are the perfect range of lenses.

HC - High Contrast

High Contrast lenses feature an accelerated filter curve that creates a high level of saturation, clearly defining the edges of the target object. We enhance both the high and low values ​​of color resolution, increasing the lens' ability to specify different parts of the visual light spectrum. This unique visual presentation of the High Contrast series places greater emphasis on dark areas while simultaneously highlighting the bright elements of the visual image. The resulting dual nature, in which dark areas are darker and light areas are brighter, results in a clear contrast registration in the image.

This glass family offers exceptional depth of field, especially for target shooting.

MX - Max Orange

Max Orange is a family of lenses specifically designed to provide the athlete with up to 600% increased perception in the orange part of the visual spectrum. This is especially critical for clay pigeon shooters who require maximum emphasis on orange for precise target acquisition. The Max Orange family of lenses specifically focuses on this part of the visual spectrum and accelerates the eyes' acquisition of orange. This allows the athlete to see the target quickly and accurately while maintaining depth of field.

N - Neutralizer

The Neutralizer lenses use advanced technology that compresses colors while retaining vivid detail in certain parts of the visual spectrum. The "N" family of lenses is specifically designed to neutralize the perception of green. This family of lenses is particularly suitable for athletes who need to minimize visual registration against a green background.

I - Infra Red

This technology offers extremely vibrant color enhancement thanks to new color pigments and an innovative coating technology. While the lenses produce rich color enhancement, the coating technology ensures a precise level of color lift and target registration for optimal performance. We've taken some of our best filter curves from the last 10 years and incorporated them into these platforms. The result is outstanding performance that delivers extremely sharp visual images.

This new collection offers light transmission from full sun to low light.

ICE Technology

Lenses with our multi-layer ICE coating benefit from principles that take the best of hydrophobicity and a proprietary hydrophilic technology on the back of the lens, while complementing our infrared "IR" filters for color enhancement. The ICE coating represents a technology that makes the surfaces of the lenses extremely "slippery". This prevents water from sticking to the surface, reducing the formation of fog on the back.

Pilla ICE coatings also offer color-enhancing properties based on Chromashift and "Infra Red" lens technology, making the color filters more robust.

Specific sports applications

Pilla has pioneered many leading technologies in shooting and archery and continues to set standards in these disciplines as well as action shooting, equestrian and aviation professionals. We work closely with the best athletes in these sports to develop the optimal color filters for every condition an athlete faces.

Tailor-made filter colours

Every athlete needs something from their glasses to take their competition to the next level. What are your requirements? Do you want the green trees in the background to fade? Do you want the center of a target to stand out particularly clearly? Do you need the color of the clay pigeons to stand out in the desert? All PILLA ZEISS filter profiles were developed in close cooperation with ZEISS to filter colors specifically and achieve a specific effect. Whether you need improved sharpness, high contrast, neutralization, maximum orange or Chromashift technology - there is a perfect Pilla ZEISS lens for your application.

Designed for specific lighting conditions

Lighting conditions place special demands on light management. Many eyewear manufacturers only offer a limited range of filter options to accommodate the wide range of environmental conditions an athlete may be exposed to. At Pilla, we offer over 40 different filter options, developed in close collaboration with ZEISS. These range from direct sunlight to lower light and everything in between. We have developed filtration for every relevant light condition in every sport, so you always have the right equipment to perform at your best.
