Charles, thank you for the kind words regarding our customer service. While we respect that visual preference can be subjective, we want to assure you that Tajima Direct lenses are engineered to the highest standards of optics and clarity. In independent third-party lab testing—conducted by the only certified independent optical lab in the USA—our lenses scored perfectly for optical clarity, equivalent to Maui Jim glass lenses. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to provide top-tier optics for our customers.
“I got a new lens lenses after having corrective surgery. I’m very please with the process it took to order and receive these lenses. The true test is when I hit the water this week in the Bahamas. I will write a solid review after I judge their performance on the water should be great..”
Rene, thanks for your review. We’re glad the ordering and delivery process for your new lenses was smooth and hope they perform wonderfully when you’re on the water.
“Verdict still out. Not sure these block enough sun glare on big sun days on the river. Clarity is ok, but not as sharp as I was hoping. Could be I just need to get used to them….”
Drake, thanks for the feedback. Your Brown 15 Green Mirror lenses have one of our lowest Light Transmission levels at 11%, so they're built to handle serious glare on the water. It can take a little time to fully adapt to a new progressive prescription in a high wrap frame, but if things don't feel sharp enough after more time, please reach out to us at help@tajima-direct.com and we'll get you taken care of.
“Frankly, I had my doubts about ordering sunglasses online for half the cost of buying new frames and lenses. I opened the box and was amazed immediately by my new glasses. The clarity and appearance make them the BEST glasses I have every had. Tajima was super-easy to deal with and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied!”
Helene, thanks for your glowing feedback. We're so glad the clarity and appearance of your new glasses exceeded your expectations and that our easy ordering process made things smooth.
“The new lenses seem great, maybe better than the original Maui Jims although I wish a darker grey shade had been available to try. Extremely clear with vibrant color visibility. About the same price as Maui Jim replacement but more convenient by providing me with prepaid mailing label and box, and quicker turnaround.”
Thomas, we’re glad the clarity and vibrant color of your new lenses exceeded the original Maui Jims and that our prepaid mail‑in kit and quick turnaround made replacing your lenses convenient. For a darker gray lens, feel free to go with one of our mirrored options that darken the gray tint further. Thanks for your review.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with Tajima Direct replacement lenses. The service was incredibly fast, and the lenses themselves are outstanding. As a fly fisherman who spends countless hours on the water, I rely on quality optics, and these are hands down the best polarized lenses I’ve ever used. The clarity is amazing, glare reduction is exceptional, and they’ve made a real difference in spotting fish. Absolutely top notch product and experience.”
Jeff, thank you for the very kind review. We're so glad to hear you've been loving your Tajima lenses for fly fishing and that our lens replacement service was quick and easy for you!
Ralph, thank you for your feedback. All lenses are thoroughly cleaned and closely inspected before shipping, and our process does not involve any glue or contact with the nose pads; what you're seeing on the nose pads is likely a common issue we see with Maui Jim frames where the rubber deteriorates and becomes gooey over time.
“The whole process with Tajima Direct was quick and straight-forward for me. I was able to turn an old pair of prescription glasses into a new pair of sunglasses with Tajima lenses. I find the lenses to be light-weight with effective UV protection. The sheer selection of lense available to customers is welcomed and the team seemed to handle common frames from popular brands easily.
Overall, I would come back to Tajima if I had more spare frames! What a great service to keep good frames in use with market-leading lens technology.”
Thanks for your glowing feedback, Alec. We’re glad the process was quick and straightforward, that your new lightweight Tajima polarized lenses work perfectly in your old frames, and that you appreciated our wide selection and service throughout the lens replacement process.
“Quality of the lenses is off the charts. They are more substantial and clean easier than the original Maui Jim lenses and I wouldn't have guessed that possible. Full prescription bifocal grind and clear as crystal. My indoor wire rim glasses are 100 year old antiques with rectangular drilled lenses and Tajima got them perfectly.
Next up a pair of prescription safety glasses.
They're not cheap but who wants cheap lenses that you have to replace frequently and distort so badly that you get a headache? Not me. Worth every penny.
I”
Steve, thanks for your glowing feedback. We’re glad the clarity and durability of your new Tajima prescription lenses exceeded your original Maui Jim lenses and that we could get your antique wire‑rim frames just right — we’ll be ready when you’re ready for those prescription safety glasses.
“I haven’t used them very much but so far I think they’re great. I was hoping to get more of your microfiber towels with them. I think that’s what you want me to use to clean them. Do I need to order those separately? Thank you.”
Paul, thanks for your review. We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying your new lenses so far — we include one microfiber cloth, and extra cloths are available separately if you’d like more.
“Second time getting glasses was happy with the so I sent in two frames with may prescription and got back two pr of fabulous glasses , thank you
Im sure I'll be a repeat customer again”
Mark, thanks for your very kind review. We’re pleased our team could turn both of your frames into fabulous prescription eyewear again, and we look forward to helping you with your next pair.
Thanks for your review, Mike. We’re happy to hear the lens replacement process was professional and timely and that your new lenses offer exceptional clarity.
“The Transitions Xtractive that darken in a car are great. Really handy if you don't want to bring your sunglasses everywhere.
The team at Tajima is the best. They have helped me after making a couple of mistakes in a very cooperative - customer first - way. Thank you for your help and I love my new specs !”
Joseph, thanks for your glowing feedback. We’re delighted that your Transitions Xtractive lenses are convenient for driving and that our customer‑first support helped you get specs you love.
“I recently had a new set of amber color Tajima lenses installed on a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. I'm using them in Hawaii and they are great...great color transmission and the polarization does an awesome job of reducing glare. The company has been great to work with and the turnaround time was about 2 weeks.”
Thanks for your very kind review, Jeffrey. We're glad our amber lenses enhanced your Maui Jim sunglasses with excellent color transmission and glare-reducing polarization, and that our team and quick two-week turnaround served you well in Hawaii.
“This small company offers polyurethane lenses, polarized or not polarized, with great visual acuity. They fit the lenses to your frames. I use these glasses for fly fishing and cycling and in my mind they cannot be beat.”
Neil, thanks for your very kind review. We're glad our Tajima Urethane lenses and custom fit provide the visual clarity you need for fishing and cycling.
