Cap & Gown & Glasses

Maui Jim Makes the Perfect Graduation Gift

Cap. Gown. Tassel. Diploma. Glasses. Glasses? That’s right — a pair of Maui Jim polarized sunglasses or eyeglasses is the perfect way to make your new grad’s celebration complete. It’s a thoughtful, stylish gift any graduate will love to wear and actually put to good use, whether the next step in life is heading into the workforce, off to graduate school or on to another adventure.

The perfect mix of fashion and function

The first days after graduation are often about making a great first impression, and nothing says “smart” like Maui Jim polarized sunglasses. There’s no need to sacrifice style for comfort or eye protection — not with nearly 200 different styles available, all of which block 100% of harmful UV rays and virtually eliminate glare. There’s a perfect fit for grads of every age, gender, location and lifestyle.

Check out our newest arrivals — including the striking rimless Ohai with MAUIGreen lenses, fashion-forward Little Bell and classic Cliff House aviators — or search our complete collection for a pair that matches your grad’s personality. You can narrow your choices by frame style, activity and even special collections that include fashion mirrors and MauiPure® LT, our thinnest and most lightweight lens ever.

Clear, classy and comfortable

No matter what’s next in life, recent grads are likely to keep logging plenty of screen time, and that can do more damage to the eyes than you might realize. High energy visible (HEV) light, known as harmful blue light, is produced by smartphones, tablets, laptops and even some indoor office lighting. It can lead to eyestrain, headaches, tired eyes and blurred vision — not what anyone starting a new job or working toward an advanced degree wants to deal with.

The good news is, there’s a stylish way to stop HEV. A pair of clear, non-prescription glasses with Maui Jim Blue Light Protect lenses lets in 90% of beneficial blue light while filtering out the harmful HEV that can damage your grad’s eyes, affect their sleep, dampen their mood and diminish their memory. And if your grad wears prescription lenses, you can add Blue Light Protect to many of our eyeglass frames. You’ll find more than 100 classic choices in specialty metals, durable acetates, colorful nylons and more.
