The history of Maui Jim plays out like the laid back image this classic sunglass brand personifies. Jim Richards, a fisherman from Maui, started selling sunglasses to tourists at the local resort pools back in the 1980’s. From those humble beginnings, Maui Jim became the largest independently owned sunglass manufacturer in the world before selling to the luxury brand Kering in 2022. Their continued commitment to using quality materials with timeless designs has solidified their place as one of the top sunglass makers in the world.

Founded in 1891 by Daniel Swarovski. Daniel patented a precision crystal cutting machine that allowed for the mass production of crystals. His goal was to create “a diamond for everyone.” Being talented at cutting crystals gave them a leg up in eyewear and the company created its first eyeglass design in 1935. Today, the Swarovski eyewear collection is generously adorned with the brilliant crystals that have become synonymous with luxury and bling!

The Yves Saint Laurent brand burst onto the fashion scene in the 1960’s after Saint Laurent honed his
craft under the tutelage of Christian Dior. The new fashion house became an icon in the fashion world

designs during the eighties. Even today, this iconic brand is at the forefront of modern sunglass design
while retaining a traditional flare. As Yves Saint Laurent said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

Sometimes. Normally, medical plans do not cover routine eye care for glasses and contacts.  Vision insurance is designed for routine eye care and for the purchase of glasses and contacts. However, if we are addressing a medical problem like diabetes, dry eye, allergies or red eyes, then we will be able to bill your medical insurance for the exam portion.  Your insurance might cover both, in part. If you are not sure, we recommend bringing both your vision and medical cards to your appointment, and we will help you determine what is best to use.

This is quite possibly the most complex and, for many patients, confused line of questioning we encounter. We are happy to go over your eye care insurance plan with you… line-by-line, if need be so that you fully understand all of the benefits to which you are entitled. So, if you have any questions about how your insurance works as far as eligibility, copays and coverage, or whatever else, please feel free to call us at (480) 889-6044, and we can go over how your specific plan works before you arrive on appointment day!

This natural vault helps temporarily improve vision, reduce pain and even light sensitivity. Scleral lenses may be able to help treat the following eye conditions:

• Dry Eye Syndrome
• Microphthalmia
• Keratoconus
• Corneal Ectasia
• Stevens–Johnson Syndrome
• Sjögren’s Syndrome
