Review on Maui Jim Reading Glasses Sunreader by Kimberly Peterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing beats Maui Jim

These glasses give me the sharpest image in years - and I also wear Maui Jim Sandy Beach in Maui Rose. My eyes have undergone laser eye surgery, so it is imperative that I get the best possible vision. Over the years since laser treatment, my eyes have gotten "better" which means I now need a little correction for near work and reading. I wear contact lenses occasionally, but I also wanted a good bifocal sunburst reader and these Maui Jims seem to fit the bill. Other reviewers have noted the small bifocal portion, which is true, although I've tested them outdoors with my Kindle and they seem fine. The most impressive aspect of this article is the HT lens; It's really adorable. This style - Ho'okipa - is a bit larger than my Sandy Beach so takes a little getting used to, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages enough that it's quickly becoming a favorite. I mentioned that I've also had my original Sandy Beach glasses for at least 5 years - and while they do have a few tiny scratches, they have little to no wear. I keep them in a soft case in my purse and when I lost my nose piece all I had to do was call Maui Jim for a free replacement. I've been addicted to this brand for life!
