1. UV Protection

The sun’s harmful UV rays can lead to serious and in some cases long-term health issues.

2. Skin Cancer

5% to 10% of skin cancer occurs around the eyes. Always wear quality, protective
sunglasses when outdoors—even on overcast days.

3. General Eye Comfort

The sun’s brightness and glare interferes with comfortable vision.

4. Dark Adaptation

Spending even a relatively short time in intense sunlight can hamper the eyes’ ability
to adapt quickly to nighttime or indoor light levels.

5. Blue-Light Protection

Use outdoor lenses that absorb the HEV, as accumulated exposure has been
associated with AMD (age-related macular degeneration).

Maui Jim prescription sunglasses offer the widest field of vision and block 100% of harmful UV rays while eliminating 99.9% of glare.

All Maui Jim sunglasses have been recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
