DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Maui Jim PUA MJ865 Sunglasses bring oversized sophistication to women's eyewear. Named after the Hawaiian word for flower, these prescription-ready square sunglasses pair bold acetate rims with sleek monel metal temples in a design that balances statement style and all-day comfort.

PolarizedPlus2 Lens Technology

Every pair features Maui Jim's patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology with SuperThin Glass—32% thinner and lighter than standard glass while delivering the crispest optics available. The lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, block 100% of harmful UV and HEV blue light, and enhance colors through a proprietary blend of three rare earth elements that boost reds, greens, and blues. You get rich contrast and vivid detail without the washed-out look of ordinary tinted lenses. Anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and oleophobic coatings keep your view clear and your lenses easy to clean.

Available in three lens colors: Maui Rose (gradient) for fast-action contrast, Neutral Grey for bright sunlight with natural color balance, and HCL Bronze for everyday variable conditions. The 55mm lenses and 21mm bridge suit average to wider faces, and the square silhouette with softly rounded corners flatters diamond, heart, oval, and round face shapes.

Frame Construction & Fit

The PUA's frame front marries glossy acetate to monel metal through a precision channel groove—a detail that gives the frame its polished, architectural look. Monel is an extremely strong, corrosion-resistant alloy that stands up to saltwater, sweat, and daily wear. Adjustable silicone nose pads (mounted on corkscrew prongs, a design debut for Maui Jim) let you dial in a secure, slip-free fit. At 140mm, the temples are long enough for comfort behind the ears without pinching.

"They are light weight, stylish, brand new condition." — eBay verified buyer

The PUA is prescription-ready. Work with an authorized optical retailer to add your Rx—Maui Jim's MauiPassport prescription process uses digital surfacing for distortion-free clarity across the entire lens. Made in Italy and backed by Maui Jim's 2-year warranty, these sunglasses include a tri-fold case and cleaning cloth.

Maui Jim PUA MJ865 Sunglasses

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Maui Jim PUA MJ865 sunglasses available with prescription lenses?

Yes, the PUA MJ865 is prescription-ready. Most Maui Jim sunglasses can be produced with prescription lenses, but they must be dispensed through an authorized Maui Jim optical retailer or eye care professional. The MauiPassport prescription process uses digital lens design to maintain PolarizedPlus2 technology while accommodating single vision and progressive prescriptions.

What is Maui Jim PolarizedPlus2 lens technology?

PolarizedPlus2 is Maui Jim's patented lens technology that eliminates 99.9% of glare, blocks 100% of UV rays and 78% of HEV blue light, and enhances color through a blend of three rare earth elements. The technology includes anti-reflective coatings, scratch resistance, and oleophobic (oil and water repellent) treatments on both sides of the lens for easy cleaning.

What face shapes do the PUA MJ865 sunglasses fit best?

The PUA features a square silhouette with rounded corners that best complements diamond, heart, oval, and round face shapes. The oversized 55mm lens width and 21mm bridge provide medium to large coverage and fit best on faces that are average to wider in width.

What is SuperThin Glass and why does Maui Jim use it?

SuperThin Glass is Maui Jim's premium lens material that provides the absolute crispest optics available. It's 32% thinner and lighter than standard glass while offering superior scratch and solvent resistance. SuperThin Glass delivers exceptional optical clarity—nearly matching the visual quality of high-end camera lenses—while remaining comfortable for all-day wear.

What is monel metal and why is it used in the PUA frame?

Monel metal is an extremely strong, corrosion-resistant alloy used in the PUA's frame construction. It's lightweight yet durable, stands up to saltwater and sweat without corroding, and is hypoallergenic. Maui Jim combines monel with acetate in the PUA to create a frame that's both structurally sound and visually refined.

Which Maui Jim lens color should I choose for the PUA sunglasses?

The PUA is available in three lens colors: Neutral Grey offers the highest light reduction for bright, direct sunlight with natural color balance; HCL Bronze provides a warm tint with excellent contrast for everyday variable conditions; and Maui Rose (gradient) delivers the highest contrast with a subtle rose tint, perfect for fast-moving activities and sports. All three feature full PolarizedPlus2 protection.

Maui Jim PUA MJ865 vs. Similar Styles

Shopping for oversized Maui Jim women's sunglasses? The PUA MJ865 sits at the premium end of Maui Jim's fashion collection, but several other models offer compelling alternatives depending on your style preference and budget.

PUA vs. Blossom MJ892

The Maui Jim Blossom MJ892 is the PUA's closest sibling—both are oversized, fashion-forward frames with bold acetate construction and similar pricing ($283–$293 for the Blossom vs $291–$306 for the PUA). If you love the oversized square aesthetic and want to compare finish options or frame details, the Blossom is worth a look. Both deliver the same PolarizedPlus2 lens technology and premium build quality.

PUA vs. Orchid MJ735

The Maui Jim Orchid MJ735 ($200–$223) offers a softer, cat-eye alternative at a more accessible price. It's a great choice if you want Maui Jim's legendary lens clarity but prefer a rounder, less angular shape. The Orchid is smaller and less oversized than the PUA, so it suits those who want coverage without the bold statement. You'll get the same UV protection and color enhancement, just in a more understated package.

PUA vs. Honi MJ758

The Maui Jim Honi MJ758 ($222–$224) is one of Maui Jim's best-selling women's cat-eye sunglasses and a proven crowd-pleaser. It's less oversized and more classic than the PUA, with rubber nose pads that make it ideal for active lifestyles. If you want a versatile, universally flattering shape that works for everything from coffee runs to beach days, the Honi is hard to beat. The PUA, by contrast, makes a bolder fashion statement and offers more coverage.

Our take: Choose the PUA if you want maximum coverage, an architectural design, and the confidence of an oversized frame. The Blossom is your alternative if you want a similar vibe with different color options. Go for the Orchid or Honi if you prefer a smaller, more classic cat-eye shape or want to save $70–$90.
