Have you ever asked yourself why wear sunglasses? Yes, they look great, but they also protect one of the most vulnerable—and most ignored—parts of the body: our eyes.
Wearing sunglasses isn’t just about fashion. It’s about health.
Did You Know?
• 80% of eye UV damage happens before age 18 – Kids need sunnies too!
• Your eyes can get sunburned (it’s called photokeratitis – ouch!)
• 20% of cataracts are UV-related
• The sun emits more harmful blue light than screens
• Surfer’s eye aka Pterygium (not only surfer’s get it) A growth on the white of the eye caused by UV, dust and wind. Can require surgery to be removed.
• Eyes absorb 10x more UV than skin – with zero natural protection
• Wraparound styles reduce sneaky side UV (Maui’s styles are designed to help)
“You wouldn’t skip sunscreen, so why skip eye protection?”

☀️ UV Protection is Non-Negotiable
• 100% UVA & UVB protection is essential to prevent long-term eye damage like cataracts, macular degeneration & growths on the eye (yes, including pterygiums 🤢).
• UV damage is cumulative—even on cloudy days.
• Kids are at even greater risk (their lenses let in more UV), so get the whole fam in sunnies.
• Maui Jim’s tech blocks 99.9% of glare
🔍 Polarisation + colour enhancement + UV + blue light filtering = happy eyes.
