“Pilla is an unfair advantage. The quality of the product is unmatched. The range of lens technology and frame design provides a competitive advantage. Period.”

Derrick Mein - 2020 Olympian, World Champion

“I wear Pilla because no one can match the variety, quality, and clarity to meet needs for every situation!”

Kayle Browning - 2020 Olympian

“The technology in Pilla lenses is second to none. That, combined with the highest quality build of the frame and a wide variety of color options, gives me the best opportunity I have in training and competition no matter the weather conditions. When you constantly compete against the best in the world, having proper and dependable equipment is a must. I know I can always count on my Pillas.”

Pilla has pioneered visual technology in shooting sports.

Pilla Athletes hold more Olympic Medals, World Championships, and significant shooting sports victories than all others combined. For over 20 years, Pilla has provided the very best in shooting sports eyewear and is partnered with ZEISS- with over 165 years of scientific development they are the oldest optics company in the world. We were founded on a passion for shooting sports and our designs come from direct knowledge and experience in the field. We have the world’s best shooting professionals using Pilla and are continually providing the most relevant feedback to enhance the design of all our products.

Pilla has created the most comprehensive shooting sports eye science available in the market. We pride ourselves on providing lens and frame science that gives our athletes an unfair advantage and unmatched visual aptitude. We pride ourselves on technical design and confidently know we have engineered the very best glasses in the world using the finest in optics and frame materials. We do not accept anything less than perfection with our design.

SOLID FILTRATIONS

Pilla and ZEISS use specific lens design profiles for targeted visual outcomes. Lighting conditions, target color, and backgrounds dictate a requirement for specificity in lens performance. Pilla is a high performance eyewear company driven to provide solutions for any and all visual challenges our athletes face. If you are looking for a lens to work in all conditions you are clearly making a sacrifice in visual aptitude. Our athletes and customers come to Pilla looking for specific lens function to yield maximum performance in any lighting, target color lift, and background they are faced with in competition or the field. All of our new Chromashift lenses are coated with exclusive premium ZEISS Chromashift coatings that reduce glare and tune these special filters. Each family of lenses we create has a targeted color enhancing profile with exclusive ZEISS technology only found in Pilla products. Browse below to learn more about the lens families and the individual lens filtrations.

CHROMASHIFT (C)

Most of our current line of lenses have the Chromashift technology integrated into the lens and paired with other filtrations sciences. Chromashift is a lens technology where we manipulate the visual representation of color to produce a more intense color profile and “Shift” the actual color of the intended target. This is a technology where we use special color dyes to produce faster registration of specific bands of color. Further Chromashift has the ability to change the way the eye sees color. The basic technical benefit is the manipulation of color for positive visual registration, allowing athletes to enjoy a very specific technical benefit of color shift for a competitive advantage.

ENHANCED DEFINITION (ED)

Enhanced Definition lenses are a special filtration science where our engineers have enhanced the complete color spectrum to create a “balanced” color profile. The goal of the lens technology is to provide the athlete with crystal clear definition. The use of a universal color lift gives the eye a balance of color saturation to produce high resolution imaging. This combination of color resolution and color saturation gives the athlete an enhanced definition of the sight picture. “Everything you see is more vivid.” For the athlete looking for an intense color profile with a natural reproduction of the visual environment this is a perfect series of lenses.

HIGH CONTRAST (HC)

High Contrast Lenses utilize an accelerated filtration curve that produces a high level of saturation to provide definition to the edges of the intended target. We enhance the highs and the lows of color resolution. The ability of the lens to specify pieces of the visual light spectrum provides the High Contrast series of lenses a unique visual representation of color where darks are more amplified while enhancing the light elements of the sight picture at the same time. This dual nature of darker being darker and lighter being brighter gives the image a high contrast registration. This lens family provides exceptional depth of field for target shooting.

MAX ORANGE (MX)

Max Orange is a lens family that is engineered to provide the athlete with up to 600% more boost in the Orange part of the visual spectrum. This is key for clay target shooters looking for maximum registration of target Orange. This lens family concentrates on a specific piece of the visual spectrum and accelerates the eyes registration of Orange. This gives an athlete the ability to acquire the target quickly and accurately while maintaining depth of field.

NEUTRALIZER (N)

Pilla Zeiss “N” lenses harness a lens science which compresses color while allowing parts of the visual spectrum to be seen with vivid detail. The “N” family of lenses is engineered to “De-tune” green. This family of lenses is perfect for athletes needing to negotiate visual registration against green backgrounds.

INFRARED (I)

This technology delivers a very vibrant color enhancement technology with new color pigments and coating science. While the lenses produce rich color enhancement, the coating technology produces a precise level of color lift and target registration for optimal performance. We have taken some of our top lens filters from the last 10 years and have introduced IR to these platforms. The result is a next level performance producing extremely crisp sight pictures. This new collection delivers light transmittance levels from full sun to low light.
