Why Reader Sunglasses Are Important

Your Questions, Answered

Less squinting. Fewer headaches. A more enjoyable day in the sun, at the beach, on the golf course or wherever life takes you. That’s why reader sunglasses are important. Not convinced? Check out these answers to common questions we get about reading sunglasses.

First off, what are reader sunglasses? Exactly what they sound like — a combination of reading glasses and sunglasses. A magnification power of +1.5, +2.0 or +2.5 is built right into the lenses. That means no more switching back and forth between two different pairs!

Aren’t reader sunglasses unattractive? I don’t want to give up my style. You don’t have to! Did you know you can add readers to almost any pair of Maui Jim polarized sunglasses? That means you can turn your favorite pair of cat-eyes, aviators, wraps or any other style into a pair of reader sunglasses — no sacrificing style for function required. And our bifocal element is nearly undetectable, so no one will know you’re wearing reader sunglasses unless you tell them.

It’s not that sunny where I live. Do I still need reader sunglasses? Yes! Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage your eyes and the delicate skin around them. Maui Jim polarized sunglasses block 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays and hold the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation. Wearing a pair of our reader sunglasses every day, sunny or not, can help protect your sight and — bonus — prevent wrinkles.

I’m choosy about frames and colors. Can I customize reader sunglasses? You bet! Just start by browsing all the styles available on mauijim.com. When you find a frame you like, click “Customize” to make it your own. In addition to adding your reader strength, you can select other options like frame color, lens color, fashion mirrors and more.
