Maui Jim Sunglasses have arrived at Carytown Optical!

Maui Jim started in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. Seeing a need in the market for technology that could combat intense glare and harmful UV while bringing the brilliant colors of the island to life, they engineered the revolutionary PolarizedPlus2® lens. Incorporated into seven new sunglass styles, the Classic Collection was introduced. They now offer over 125 styles of sunglasses, 100% of which are polarized and protect from 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Theo eyewear is now exclusively at Carytown Optical!

After all, our goal has never changed: together with the Theo optician, to make glasses-wearers happy and to offer them an unforgettable experience.”
