Centuries ago, early Hawaiians followed the rhythm of the waves and the position of the sun to get from island to island. Today, this wayfaring, is kept alive by Hawaiians who still believe the sun can guide them in their journeys. At Maui Jim Sunglasses, we also take our cues from the sun. We’re experts in finding ways to reveal all the colors of a sun-centered lifestyle, while protecting you from the effects of harsh glare. The Maui Jim Sunglasses destination is a place of beauty you’ve never seen before.

The Maui Jim Sunglasses PolarizedPlus technology was born from this sun-centered lifestyle. No other sunglass offers the same level of visual acuity, protection and color enhancement as the technology in Maui Jim Sunglasses. Maui Jim answers the ancient challenge of glare like no one else. Three elements in the Maui Jim Sunglasses multi-layer PolarizedPlus lens design ensure a complete solution to glare. With glare out of the way, more usable light is transmitted to the eyes for the best visual acuity, contrast and color.

The Maui Jim Stainless Steel Collection features a rimless design and hinge system that brings together style and performance in one tight package.

The Flexon frame on the Maui Jim Sunglasses is made from a bendable “memory” metal. This frame is lighter and keeps its shape longer than traditional metal frames.

Although the face shape is essential you do not want to overlook the shape of the nose. Large Nose-Large oversized frames are best suited to help balance out the face.  A smaller frame will emphasize the nose. Long Nose-Frames with higher arms will draw attention toward the temples and away from the nose. Adding a double bridge will also help a nose appear shorter. Small Nose-A higher bridge in addition to a  lighter color frame will appear to lengthen a shorter nose.

Your Eyes Work Hard
Seeing is a highly active function. Your eyes continually focus and adjust, receiving a constant flow of colors and visual impressions. Normally, all this activity happens routinely and without noticeable strain.

The Burden of Glare
to see well, causing eye fatigue and headaches.

The Benefits of Top Quality Sunglasses
This is why quality designed sunglasses are such an important part of our outdoor life.  They help us to see comfortably and clearly in sunlight, to counteract the discomfort caused by bright light, and to protect our eyes from glare.  This brilliant,  sometimes blinding light is intensified when it reflects off water, snow, concrete highways, glass buildings or chrome.  Glare is discomforting, causing your eyes to work harder.  Your pupils contract, your eyelids squint,  and the muscles around your eyes contract. Your eyes must work harder to prevent permanent damage that could lead to cataracts, eye diseases,  and even blindness.  Lesser quality sunglasses are often more of a danger than a help. Lenses may not provide proper protection from UV rays and glare and are often marked with blurry, irregular surfaces that distort vision, causing added eye strain and fatigue. Top quality sunglasses provide relaxed comfort and complete protection even during long exposure to harsh glare.

Year-Round Protection
Your eyes need glare protection year round. The winter sun is often brighter and snow-reflected glare can be more intense than the brightest summer day. In the mountains the sunlight can be 4 times more intense than at sea level. Damaging UV rays are present year-round and throughout all daylight hours.

Night Driving
Wearing sunglasses during the day can help improve your night driving. Exposure to strong sunlight without adequate glare protection can sharply hinder your night vision. Even a few hours of exposure can slow your eyes’ adaptation process as darkness falls.
Repeated exposure can delay this adaptation even longer and your night vision could be cut by 50% or more.
