Carson produces PVS-14-threaded lenses. These lenses are used in mil-spec AN/PVS-14 housings such as made by Elbit Systems (original developer), L3Harris, ACTinBlack, and others. They are considered to be some of the best available on the market. Like other manufacturers the front lenses have a multi-coat treatment which reflects light of distinct colors.
