Maui Jim Sunglasses - History
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. It's perfect for those who prefer lightweight Maui Jim Sunglasses in a sturdy frame package with a rimless design and hinge system and superior optics.
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.
Maui Jim Sunglasses - Understanding Light
To really understand the importance of Maui Jim Sunglasses, it helps to know how light works, what happens when it hits your eyes and how Maui Jim Sunglasses technology can work for you.
Glare is everywhere, even on hazy days.
Maui Jim Sunglasses - There are three kinds of Glare
Reflected Glare: Caused by light waves reflected from flat, smooth or shiny surfaces. When the light waves vibrate together horizontally, this creates polarized light - which in turn creates blinding hot spots that are uncomfortable, distracting and sometimes dangerous.
Direct Glare: Bright light emanating from a direct source, most often the sun or overhead lights.
Bounce-Back Glare: This glare originates from light beside or behind you that is reflected off your sunglasses and into you eyes. If you've ever seen your eyelashes reflected in your sunglasses, then you've seen bounce-back glare.
Maui Jim Sunglasses - Combating Glare
So how do you combat glare and its dangerous effects? Non-polarized sunglasses don't actually eliminate glare, they only tint it, leaving it just as intense and dangerous. Ordinary polarization only blocks horizontally reflected glare.
Maui Jim Sunglasses with PolarizedPlus® technology block horizontally reflected glare plus glare from above, below and behind the lens. Since nature didn't polarize the lenses in our eyes, Maui Jim sunglasses provide the next best thing.
There's more to our Maui Jim Sunglasses lenses than meets the eye: patented multilayer technology protects your vision, as well as your sunglass investment.
