As temperatures begin to rise, you can also expect stronger and harsher ultraviolet (UV) rays. This may put you at risk of developing corneal sunburns, pterygium and other UV-related eye problems. This summer, protect your eyes by wearing quality sunglasses from trusted names in the industry like Maui Jim®.

Maui Jim®: Exquisite Color, Clarity and Detail

Northern Virginia Doctors of Optometry, your leading provider of contact lenses and other eye care products, highlights the remarkable features and benefits of Maui Jim eyewear.

Premier Lens Technology

Glare can mute colors, obscure details and even tire out your eyes, preventing you from fully appreciating your surroundings. Maui Jim believes that “color and light are key to human experience,” which led to the creation of sunglasses “designed to change how you see the world.” Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2® technology is directly fused with the lenses ability to eliminate up to 99.9% horizontal glare.

Exquisite Lens Colors

Maui Jim lenses come in four different colors that are engineered to provide exceptional optics and visual protection for every weather condition. Neutral gray provides the highest light reduction to reveal sharp contrast and rich colors. Your optometrist recommends this color if you’re constantly under bright, direct sunlight. The High Contrast Lens (HCL®) Bronze, on the other hand, gives a warm tint for your everyday use. The Maui Rose® is perfect for fast-moving activities while the Maui High Transmission™ maintains color and contrast that’s optimum for low light and when you’re playing golf .

Formed for Function Lens Materials

Maui Jim offers four lens materials made from the finest materials. The SuperThin Glass offers the crispest optics and the best scratch resistance among the four. It’s also around 32% lighter and thinner than the standard glass for your visual comfort. On the other hand, the MauiPure® provides excellent shatter and scratch resistance. With its ultra light-weight properties and sharp optics, it’s the most popular Maui Jim lens material.

The Maui Evolution® combines the best features of SuperThin and polycarbonate, producing a high-index, lightweight, scratch- and impact-resistant material. Lastly, the MauiBrilliant™ is considered the most advanced option with optics nearly as clear as glass and just a third of the usual glass weight. We can help you find the best Maui Jim lens color and material combination after your eye exam.
