What Does ‘Polarized’ Mean? 

When direct light rays from the sun are reflected off flat or shiny surfaces like water or glass, the rays become polarized. When these polarized rays enter the eye, we experience uncomfortable glare. Polarized lenses manage this intense glare in a way that non-polarized lenses cannot. 

Why Maui Jim Sunglasses? 

Maui Jim sunglasses, with patented PolarizedPlus2® lens technology, change the way you see the world. MAUI JIM SUNGLASSES ELIMINATE GLARE Glare washes out colour, obscures detail and fatigues your eyes. All Maui Jim Sunglasses are polarized and eliminate 99.9% of glare, which allows your eyes to relax and see the world with improved clarity and detail. 

Maui Jim Sunglasses Enhance Colours

Colour and light are key to the human experience—they affect how we see and feel. Maui Jim lenses enhance the primary colours of vision, so you see vibrant, saturated colours with a higher level of contrast and depth perception.

Maui Jim Sunglasses Protect Your Eye Health

• Sunglasses that lack comprehensive UV protection actually can cause more damage because they shade the eye, causing the pupil to dilate and allowing in more harmful UV rays.
• Unprotected exposure to UV and HEV rays can lead to serious health issues including:

1. Sunburn of the eyes
2. Cataracts
3. Macular degeneration
4. Cancer of the eye
5. Cancer of the skin surrounding the eye (5-10% of skin cancers occur around the eyes!)

Maui Jim lenses block 100% of all harmful UV rays and absorb damaging HEV rays, making Maui Jim the proud recipient of the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.

G-15: Ray-Ban’s G-15 lens feature a special green tint that was developed for military pilots in the ’30s, filtering out a lot of the bright blue light a pilot’s eyes would be exposed to when flying above the cloud line. These lenses only allow 15% of visible light to pass through them, hence the “15,” so they’re best for bright sunny days. While Ray-Ban offers a wide range of tints, mirror finishes and gradients with or without lens polarization, the G-15 lens is considered the most classic choice for any style you could want.

Polarized/Polarization: Polarized lenses have a special film that helps them to reduce glare — that is, bright reflected light. This works by only allowing light that enters the lenses vertically — unreflected light, direct from a light source — to enter through, blocking the vast majority of the light that reflects off horizontal surfaces like bodies of water, large stretches of pavement or fields of snow. Polarization is especially useful for people who do a lot of sunny highway driving, daytime fishing, skiing, mountaineering or hiking in snowy areas. Polarized lenses typically cost more than unpolarized ones.

Chromance: Ray Ban’s Chromance lenses are specially developed for outdoor athletics. In addition to polar filters, a hydrophobic and fingerprint-resistant coating, and anti-reflection, these lenses intensify colours which enhances details and clarity.

Evolve: Ray Ban’s version of the popular Transition lenses, these coloured lenses are light-responsive and shift their level of shade according to the amount of light present. They’re also 100% UVA and UVB protective.
