Maui Jim Best Polarized Sunglass

First of all, what do Polarized Lenses means?

Sunlight scatters in all directions, causing glaring and reduces visibility. Thereby, polarized lenses have a special chemical or filter in which it helps to block unwanted reflection light. The special filter specifically helps to block some of the light passing through the lenses by creating a vertical opening for light. This means that light waves approaching horizontally are totally blocked or bounced away from the lenses, allowing only vertical light to enter the eye. Think of it as a mini blind hanging in front of a window. The only light that passes through the blind’s openings can be seen. This results in improving the wearer’s clarity in which objects will look crisper and clearer. Besides that, polarized lenses help in improving clarity and reduce eye strain.

c) Fashion Lens Mirror

d) Maui Gradient 

As stylish as a Bi-Gradient mirror, a darker application at the top gradually gets lighter moving down the lens. 

e) Anti-Reflective Treatment  

This technology blocks reflected light and glare not only from the front part but also from behind.

2. Colour Enhancement  

Most sunglasses just darken the user’s view, dimming and fading colours away and provides a low contrast perspective.

PolarizedPlus2 Technology infuses a patented blend of three rare Earth elements to enhance red, green, and blue light waves in which helps balance the saturation of colours we see.
