History
Extremely stylish and highly functional. These adjectives perfectly describe each pair of glasses designed by Maui Jim. The brand was founded in 1980 in Lahaina, Hawaii by a spirited fisherman named Jim Richards. Seeing a need for technologically-advanced sunglasses that would both protect the eyes from harmful UV rays and bring the magnificent colors of the island to life, Jim created his first reliable sunnies. The collection was called Classic and included seven attractive styles. Soon after that, the brand presented its first polarized sunglasses with the game-changing PolarizedPlus2® lens. This advanced lens technology has made Maui Jim eyewear highly popular all over the globe.
Nowadays, Maui Jim belongs to the cohort of the largest manufacturers of sunglasses in the world. In addition to their fashion sunnies and sports frames, the company also offers prescription lenses for their designs including progressive lenses. The Maui Jim eyeglasses are appreciated all around the globe for their unmatched performance and reliability. Each lens features the patented CLEARSHELL® scratch-resistant coating, top-grade front and backside anti-reflective coating, and advanced hydrophobic/oleophobic coatings. So, whether you need a pair of fashionable and premium quality sunglasses or looking for highly functional prescription lenses, Maui Jim is the brand to rely on!
