About year ago, I first heard about Maui Jim’s.  I checked out a few pairs but decided the cost (often $300 or more) was a bit too much.  My opinion has changed.  In February I underwent LASIK surgery so I could ditch my contacts.  One of the side effects of the surgery is increased sensitivity to glare.  I drive a lot.  40,000 miles last year.   A few weeks after the surgery,  I bit the bullet and bought a my first pair of Maui Jim’s.  They won’t be my last either.  The difference was simply stunning.  The glare was gone.  So was my eye fatigue thAT usually popped up after a few hours behind the wheel even before LASIK.  The secret?  All of Jim’s lens are made up of 9 layers of glass with UV protection sandwiched between each layer plus the lenses are polarized.  I never thought could justify spending that much on a pair of sunglasses but now I can’t imagine wearing anything but Maui Jim’s again.  Get a pair, trust me, they are worth it.
