Go Ahead, Give it a Read

Imagine waking up in a hammock with the warm sun in your face, listening to the gentle waves and smelling fresh fruit in the air. Stepping out onto the ground, you see the honeyed tones of the beach as your feet move through the sand. You see the bright blues and greens of the sky and ocean as you make your way to the shore. And completing this picture of paradise is your  Maui Jim sunglasses.
 

 

To create the perfect pair of sunglasses for the full Hawaiian experience, Maui Jim combines multiple treatments into each lens:

•  Waterproof and oleophobic coating – To shed water and snow and repel grease, making it easier to wipe fingerprints and smudges. •  Anti-reflective treatments – To block reflected light and glare from behind, providing a clear view and preventing your eyes from fatiguing. •  Two scratch-resistant coatings – To perform better longer and include more durability, added before and after the water-resistant coating. •  Polarized film – To eliminate 99.9% of glare from flat, smooth or shiny surfaces for a clean, crisp view, making it possible to see below the water’s surface. •  Gradient mirror or tint treatments – To eliminate overhead and reflected glare, allowing light to pass through the lens. •  Red, green and blue lens treatments – To enhance the view with distortion-free lenses, making color brighter and more vibrant. If you get your Maui Jim sunglasses with prescription lenses, there is one other very important lens treatment:

MauiPassport treatment – To digitally tailor your eye’s prescription to the lens and its shape, providing the clearest and widest view possible compared to untreated lenses. For some prescription sunglasses, the lenses are so curved that your field of vision is distorted when you look through them. The digitally surfacing of MauiPassport compensates for the wrapped lenses, allowing your prescription to enhance, not harm your view.

Now that you know all about the lenses, it’s time to choose some frames. Check out the following wide range of styles and materials with these 10 Maui Jim shades:
