“Impressed by the communication, clarity and product itself. After cracking my sunglass lenses, I was pleased to learn of this repair option and very happy with the results.”
Jack, thanks for the review. We’re delighted that our communication and clarity made the process easy and that you’re pleased with your newly replaced sunglass lenses!
Jeff, we're happy to hear you would rate our lens replacement service an A++ all the way around! Enjoy your new lenses, and thank you for your very kind review!
“This is the second time I’ve done business with Tajima and I’m extremely happy. What makes the difference is communication through every step of the process. Especially the “personalized” communications i.e. emails sent to me that are not auto generated emails, and the fact that some of the emails were actually signed with someone’s name.”
Norman, thanks for the glowing review. We're pleased to hear you've been extremely happy with your new lenses for your Maui Jim sunglasses along with the communication and service we provide throughout the lens replacement process!
“I am so happy that I found this site. So far, I’ve had two sets of Lenses made, they have been spot on and far more cost-effective than my local options. I have another two pairs of glasses being worked on right now. Can’t wait to get them back. Jacob and his team do an amazing job, are incredibly responsive. This is the way of the future. Without doubt.--Update-- Just got my glasses back and they are spot on. Super easy -- very happy, thanks again.”
“I sent my Maui Jim sunglasses (2 pairs) in for replacement lenses due to significant scratches. Tajima's communications are excellent. They provided info every step along the way - received, reviewed for repair, repairs commenced, repairs completed, package prepared for mailing, package mailed. I was never left wondering did they receive them, how far along are they, etc. Glasses arrived in a timely manner. I am delighted to say that they are good as new. This is a much more economical solution to having damaged lenses replaced in favorite frames. Very happy with entire process. Would definitely use them again.”
Regina, thank you for the review. We’re delighted that our step‑by‑step updates kept you informed and that your Maui Jim sunglasses came back looking as good as new.

“Not thrilled with these replacement lenses. The polarization is limited to a narrow strip down the center of the lenses- the top and bottom of the lenses have a broad margin non-polarization, it’s horribly noticeable and is a distraction while driving. Additionally, looking at my cell phone while wearing the lenses is extremely distorted. I’m replacing 580g glass costa lenses. My cheap $40 back up sunglasses from academy sports display none of these issues. My previous costa lenses were scratched or else I would request them to be put back in. New tajima lenses are terrible in lower light conditions on the water in comparison to the costa blue lenses they replaced. Thought these based on a their troutbitten sponsorship(commercial) and would not recommend to anyone.”
Hi Don,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, though it sounds like there may be some misunderstandings about the lenses and how polarized optics work.
To clarify:
All of our lenses are 100% polarized with 99.9% polarizing efficiency across the entire lens — there’s no such thing as polarization only in the center strip. What you're likely seeing is the interaction between the polarized lenses and other polarized surfaces (like your car windshield or phone screen), which can create visual patterns or effects. That’s common across all premium polarized lenses, including Costa.
As for distortion, our lenses are optically cast using a patented urethane process and are among the clearest available. Any "distortion" you're noticing is almost certainly the result of polarizing filter interaction, not optical quality.
Finally, the lenses you received match the original 580G in tint color, mirror coating, and light transmission. The only difference is lens material — ours are impact-resistant and lightweight urethane rather than heavy glass. The performance in lower light may feel different simply due to the material or coating preferences, but it’s not a result of reduced quality or polarization.
We always want our customers to be happy, but we also want to make sure the information shared is accurate. If you'd like to return the lenses, we're happy to walk you through the process.
Best regards,
Jacob
Ken, thanks for the review. We’re glad you found it simple to replace prescription lenses in your existing frames and appreciated our customer service and communication. Enjoy your refreshed eyewear!
“Jacob, I was very hesitant to use your service at first, due to all the horror stories of buying from non traditional firms, outside of well known companies. However I must say my experience was top notch from initial order to receiving my glasses. From the simplicity of the explanation of what was needed to secure the order to keeping me posted along the way to delivery was excellant. And the new lenses are great. Now I can play pickleball with my prescription glasses without the scratches!”
Mark, thanks for the review. We’re thrilled that we could exceed your expectations and guide you through every step of the process. It’s great to hear your new lenses are scratch-free and that you’re enjoying pickleball with clear vision!
“I had an older pair of Maui Jims prescription sun glasses in need of new lenses as they were at least 3 prescriptions old. Sent these to Tajima. They were quick kept me posted on the status. Price wasn’t to bad and when I got them back oh boy were these nice. Better in some ways than the originals. Thanks”
David, thanks for the review. We’re thrilled that our quick updates, fair price, and high-quality prescription lenses for your Maui Jim sunglasses exceeded the originals. Enjoy your refreshed eyewear!
“Tajima was awesome to work with start to finish. From helping me decide which frames to go with, to the easy as pie pre-labeled box. For 99$ the service was amazing. As for my lenses, I’m in love with the yellow-40 silver mirror. I can’t wait to use them in winter, but even now in the brightness of summer I have been using them morning and evening and I see so much more clearly in those low light conditions. Love them, and they seem to smudge less than other lenses. Will certainly be buying more!”
Logan, thanks for the review. We’re delighted we could help you choose your frames and that the Yellow-40 Silver Mirror lenses provide the clarity and smudge resistance you wanted at a great price. We look forward to helping with your next pair!
Joseph, thanks for the review. We’re thrilled that the replacement lenses for your Persol sunglasses fit perfectly and that our quick turnaround got you back in action. Enjoy your upgraded eyewear!
“I am very pleased with my new prescription polarized lenses from Tajima Direct. The quality of the lenses is excellent. I got the Yellow Green 40 Silver Mirrored for low light conditions and couldn't be happier. I will definitely recommend Tajima Direct to my friends.”
Jim, thanks for the review. We’re delighted that your Yellow‑Green 40 Silver Mirrored prescription polarized lenses provide outstanding clarity in low‑light conditions and that you appreciate the quality. Enjoy your new eyewear!
