PolarizedPlus2
PolarizedPlus2® is a Maui Jim technology engineered specifically to provide unmatched glare protection. PolarizedPlus2 lens technology advances conventional polarized lenses a step further with additional special filters, eliminating unnecessary lights, i.e., glares created through reflection. PolarizedPlus2 minimizes glares off reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and roads, and in the process, it maximizes overall eyesight. Decreased glares allow for a brighter, clearer view, and overall, eyes have an overall enhancement in outdoor experiences. With PolarizedPlus2®, lenses provide an enhanced feeling in terms of seeing actual colors and detail with eyes able to discern actual colors and detail. PolarizedPlus2 also provides 100% protection for eyes against damaging radiation from ultraviolet radiation. Combined with decreased glares, 100% protection protects eyes and empowers observers to observe the world in its full beauty.
Maui Jim lens guide
How PolarizedPlus2 Reduces Glare
The technology accomplishes its task through a complex use of polarizing filters in lenses to reject lights with a horizontal reflection, and such lights provide the foundation for most glares. In everyday situations, sunlight reflects off such reflective surfaces such as water or asphalt and forms an agonizing glare, disrupting eyes’ sharp eyesight. PolarizedPlus2 technology remedies such glares through a feature enabling a single pass through lenses of vertical lights. Decreased glares keep eyes relaxed and at ease, especially in reflective, high-light conditions. In addition to decreased glares, technology maximizes overall eyes’ performance through contrast and sharpness enhancement. Irrespective of whether one is in water, hiking, driving, etc., PolarizedPlus2 keeps one with sharp, relaxed eyes with little space for any form of distraction.
How PolarizedPlus2 technology works
How Reduced Glare in Outdoor Activities Helps
Reduced glare brings numerous advantages to such out-door activities including water sports, driving, and hiking. For water sports, for example, glares off water can obstruct your view and make seeing through water challenging. PolarizedPlus2 lenses reduce such glares, and seeing through water, seeing through fish, and driving through water become easier and safer for you. On driving, wet-road and sunlight-reflected glares off automobiles can become dangerous and distracting. With less glare, PolarizedPlus2 maximizes your security and keeps your eyes focused and concentrated on driving. For hiking, glares off snowy, rock, and sunlight can exhaust your eyes and make your hiking trip exhausting and tiring. With less glare, lenses become less tiring and easier for your eyes, and your hiking trip will become less exhausting and tiring. Wherever outdoor in water or in land, PolarizedPlus2 technology maximizes your performance and enjoyment through minimizing glares and providing a brighter, clearer view.
Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2® technology reduces glare by up to 99%, enhancing visual clarity in bright and reflective environments. A pie chart above is showing how glare reduction with Maui Jim PolarizedPlus2® compares to traditional polarized lenses in terms of glare reduction efficiency. For example:
- Maui Jim: 99%
- Standard Polarized: 70%
- Non-Polarized: 20%
Enhancing Color, Clarity, and Detail
PolarizedPlus2® eliminates glare, and enhances detail, color, and clarity, too. Polarized technology provides maximum contrast, and colors become truer and brighter to life. Greens of trees, blue hues of sky, and colors of water become brighter, providing a rich view. Lenses optimize clarity with deeper depth perception, ideal for driving, for example, when one wishes to see fine detail. Moreover, technology sharpens one’s view, and one can see more detail in one’s surroundings. Wherever one’s travels lead one, in city, in hills, or out in water, PolarizedPlus2 assists in seeing one’s surroundings with greater accuracy. With greater enhancement in color, detail, and clarity, whatever one sees appears brighter, sharper, and more defined, and one can enjoy one’s outdoors and stay safe.
