As residents of the Okanagan, we are fortunate to enjoy over 2,000 hours of sunshine each year.  While we often remember to reach for sunscreen, it is easy to overlook an equally important part of sun safety: protecting our eyes.

When we consistently wear quality sunglasses throughout our lifetime, we defend against early cataracts, macular degeneration and even damage to the delicate skin around our eyes.  The effects are real – and thankfully, preventable.

That’s why we choose to carry Maui Jim.

Not all sunglasses are created equal.  Many off-the-rack styles may look appealing but lack the technology to truly protect your vision.  Maui Jim is different.  Their sunglasses are engineered to not only protect our eyes from the sun, but to enhance our vision while doing it.

Their patented lens technology goes beyond basic sun protection.  These lenses eliminate harsh glare without sacrificing colour or clarity.  Instead, they amplify the world around us -blues are bluer, greens are greener, and details stay crisp, even in the brightest conditions.  It’s a difference you can feel the moment you put them on.

Maui Jim has long prioritized comfort and eye health, and for many years, they were best known for crafting the classic “dad’s golfing sunglasses.”  However, over the past decade, Maui Jim has evolved significantly – offering everything from elegant, timeless designs in their luxury collection to a nostalgic revival of their original logo in the vintage collection.  No matter which frame style you choose, every pair features lenses that effectively block glare from reflective surfaces – crucial for both summer and winter driving, spending time on the water, or hiking under expansive skies.  Their lightweight frames are thoughtfully engineered for all-day comfort, making them easy to wear no matter the activity.

When you try on a pair, you’ll quickly understand why so many of our patients won’t wear anything else.  Once you have a pair of Maui Jims in your collection, they quickly become the only pair of sunglasses you reach for.

At Visionology, we offer a large selection of Maui Jim sunglasses to suit every face shape, lifestyle, and prescription need.  Whether you’re heading to the beach, the vineyard, or simply running errands around town, you can protect your eyes without compromising on style.

Stop by our clinic in Guisachan Village and let us help you find your perfect pair.  Your eyes will thank you – today and for years to come.

See well, live well,

Dr. Nancy
