We all want to protect our eyes but can´t we look good doing it?

There are plenty of examples available of weird, wonky, and downright ugly sunglasses. Most people wear sunglasses for two primary reasons: to keep the sun out of the eyes and because they like the style of their chosen pair. There are good sunglasses (like Maui Jim´s that eliminate glare, clarify color, and eliminate squinting) and bad sunglasses (pretty much anything for sale at the discount store where you buy toilet paper).

Twenty years ago people may have only used their sunglasses while on the beach. But now it´s generally understood that any bright or reflective environment requires quality protection for your eyes. This would include sporting situations such as skiing or spending time on the golf course but also mundane moments such as driving on a sunny day to the grocery store.

It´s frustrating to buy cheap sunglasses and see the colors distort into various shades of blue-grey or sepia. It´s also frustrating to spend a lot of money on a pair only to still struggle with headaches and eye strain. If you invest in expensive glasses that don´t include a warranty, what will you do if there is an issue with a missing screw or loose lens? Wasn´t the point of paying more to get higher quality and longevity from your purchase?

The solution is in making an informed choice and then buying from an authorized dealer who can ensure your prescription and fit are properly made. Maui Jim´s come in a full line of choices for men and women that can protect you in most any bright light or reflective setting. Their lenses are made with a seven-layer coating process that clarifies and enhances the colors you see while eliminating bounce-back glare.

Once you know what you´re looking for in a pair of quality sunglasses, the next step is choosing a style. This may also involve the best fit for your prescription and appropriateness for your primary activity.

Prescription RX-Able Maui Jim styles:

• KAHUNA- classical men´s styling for general wear. The adjustable metal frame temples allow you to customize and adjust the fit. The spring hinges hug your head and the nose pads prevent slipping. The Kahuna is aptly named for its masculine style with a hint of sport.

• LAGOON-A unisex style that is slightly more suited to women. It is close in design to the Maui Jim Stingray except for its outermost upward sloping edges. The frame material is cellulose propionate providing exceptional durability coupled with superb pliability. The lenses are ST Glass and best of all, both the lenses and frames are saltwater safe. This is a great sunglass for any ocean side activity that doesn´t involve vigorous sport.

• HO´OKIPA- This is Maui Jim´s all-time number-one selling frame. The semi-rimless frame makes these extremely lightweight yet they are still incredibly durable. Grilamid, the frame material, is known for its flexibility and bendability. The lenses are shatterproof and entire assembly is salt water safe.

• KAPALUA-Lamborghini owners (or wannabees) will love this look. The titanium alloy frame is flexible yet sturdy enough for a windy day at the beach or on the boat. The polycarbonate lens is both shatterproof and scratch resistant with Maui Jim´s patented scratch coat on the front and back of the lens. The Kapalua is both rimless and hingeless, which allows an almost completely unobstructed view.

• STINGRAY- As mentioned earlier extremely close in design to the Lagoon. The key difference being the Stingray´s more squared off rectangular look versus the Lagoon´s upward sloping rectangular stance. Ideal for those looking for a quality every-day wear sunglass with exceptional durability and functionality.

It´s important to realize that just as it matters which sunglasses you purchase, where you get them is also crucial to your satisfaction. Unauthorized dealers for sunglasses abound. They claim to offer "discounts" and have genuine product available but they will leave you holding a counterfeit item that has no warranty. You should only use a full-service dealer who can help you get the best fit for your needs, repair your glasses in the event of damage, and represent you with the company in the event that you need to use the warranty.
