Always come back to post about my great glasses from Eyedictive. Just got a pair of Serengetis and they are most certainly authentic.

Says they're rx-able but how do you do that? I've always gotten the frames and lenses at the same place.

Take them to Costco, they charge $25 if you bring your own frames

I doubt that would be for real Maui Jim lenses. Maui Jim lenses. The selling point, and what makes Maui Jim's so good is their polarized system. Reputable eyeglass places will only use Maui Jim lenses for prescriptions, and that is very expensive. If you're getting it from Costco for $25, then they are using a 3rd party, and you're losing all of the reason to buy Maui Jim, so it's a waste of money for you to buy these.

I would assume that's just a service fee and that they still use the right lenses wherever they send them to and charge for them. But I'm reading different stories from several people that Costco doesn't do this. Maybe varies by location?

After doing research you can only get maui lenses from authorized retailers and yes they are very expensive. So much so I cancelled my order.

What are peoples opinions on this brand? Are they good at taking falls/damage without scrapes problems?

Im a bit of a glasses noob (but also kind of snob cuz i wear them religiously...think uneducated but snob requirements) and I had gotten some ray bans, but they took some damage on their first fall. I have this random chinese brand I got for $60 that has basically been immortal, but you can't buy them anymore.

Any guidance or opinions on these would be appreciated, but im looking to only pay $100+ for stuff that can withstand damage and still look okay/not show up from basic falls/drops.
Maui Jim are some of the best glasses out there for optical quality and one of the few brands with glass lenses. They are not tough though....while glass is more scratch resistant, they will chip and crack on impact. MJ uses thin glass to lessen weight, but it makes them more delicate.

Quote from sarcasmogratis :
Isn't the whole reason for an "Authorized retailer" list to prevent counterfeits?
Where would a grey market retailer be getting bulk quantities of authentic goods?
For brands that protect their brand like MJ, grey market sellers get their stock from authorized retailers/distributors or internationally. This is famous in the luxury watch world where rolex has revoked licensing when caught selling to unuathorized sellers. To be clear, it is well known that the product is legit. For those that don't protect their brand, they will legitimately send overstock and liquidation through unauthorized channels.

Consider putting some retainers on your sunglasses to prevent falls. Croakies, Chums and Costa Del Mar are some of the most popular brands out there.

Costco charges $25 if you bring your own frames, after that you get (and pay) for whatever lenses they sell. The actual lenses will be still plastic- pollycarbonate, trivex, etc.
Yes, Maui Jim develops its own proprietary prescription lens design called MauiPassport for both single-vision and progressive lenses, but its just the coatings, the actual blanks still come from from one of the handfull suppliers- EssilorLuxottica, HOYA, ZEISS-75%of the market, and a bunch of smaller ones.

I recently ordered a pair of Maui Jim Walaka Polarized Titanium Aviator with Mirror Lens from Eyedictive. I've purchased from them several times before without any issues, so this came as a surprise.

When the sunglasses arrived, the plastic sleeve holding the sunglasses had already been cut open, and the cardboard box containing the Maui Jim case was torn open and resealed with clear tape. The packaging clearly did not appear to be factory sealed.

I'm disappointed because I expected to receive a brand-new product. I've contacted Eyedictive and am waiting to see how they resolve the issue. Has anyone else had a similar experience ordering from them?

Is it dead? Tried the code on Maui Jim Walaka and it didn't work.
