PERRIQUEST™ UNVEILS SOLUTION 
TO AIRCRAFT LASER ATTACKS
 
WASHINGTON, February 16, 2016/PRNewswire/ -- Following a string of recent high-profile events, PerriQuest Defense Research Enterprises™ unveiled the world's most advanced laser-protective eyewear to dozens of aviation industry stakeholders. PerriQuest's patent-pending technology protects the wearer from harmful red, green, and blue laser light without compromising the wearer's ability to perceive and distinguish color. Production of the groundbreaking technology is underway and the company is accepting contract sales as well as individual pre-orders via its website: www. perriquest. com. "This problem is not going away – in fact, it's getting worse," said PerriQuest™ 
Founder Dr. Nicholas Perricone. "Tracking down, arresting, and prosecuting the perpetrators of these attacks is a herculean task. While enforcement is important, mitigation technology is really going to put an end to this behavior.  Once these glasses are in the hands of commercial pilots, and criminals know their lasers have been rendered useless, we will stop seeing so many incidents. My goal is accomplish that before any catastrophe takes place. "
Many attributes distinguish PerriQuest's glasses from other technologies in development or available on the market today:

PerriQuest™ Announces Launch of Laser Defense Eyewear for the Aviation Industry

Posted on August 18, 2015 | Categories: Press Releases

(New York, NY - August, 2015) PerriQuest™, the defense research and development company, announces the launch of Laser Defense Eyewear: laser-blocking glasses with low-vision-impact and precision filter technology, which provide a full solution and the ultimate protection against the threat of laser flashing incidents.  Designed with pilots, U. S. Military personnel, law enforcement and transportation workers in mind, PerriQuest Laser Defense Eyewear provides stylish, wearable, and easy-to-use laser-dazzle protection from red, green and blue lasers, while maintaining color discrimination for the wearer to fly and operate cockpit display systems. Aircraft laser strikes are a growing problem for pilots and on the ground personnel worldwide as the visual dazzle caused by laser strikes can cause sudden blindness. The loss of sight can be partial or total, and if gone untreated, long-term eye damage is possible. In 2013, there were over 3960 laser strikes reported by commercial pilots alone with many of these pilots requiring medical attention. The shocking research on laser strikes, noting an 1100% increase in FAA reported incidents in the last 10 years, led the PerriQuest team to develop a solution. Read more…
