“I stumbled across Tajima online and took a chance to save my favorite 10+ year old Oakley’s. My frames were too old to buy lenses so I had to send them in.
I was shocked at the quality of the product and how quickly they got my glasses back to me! The Tajima lenses are better than the originals. I highly recommend Tajima and will use them again!!!”
PJ, thank you for taking a chance on us and I'm so glad that you're happy with the quality of the Tajima lenses and the lens replacement service we provided to you. Thank you for the review!
“Great news. I can renew my Kaenon sunglasses without buying a new pair. It was fantastic to insert the new lenses and realize that I really needed them. I thought the old ones—7 or 8 years old—needed new lenses and I would have to buy new glasses. My son told me about the option to buy just the lenses from Tajima Direct. He had just replaced his lenses and was wildly positive about the experience. So I immediately ordered new lenses and have been amazed by the outcome. Thanks for being there.”
“I ordered my first pair of replacement non-prescription lenses for my Columbia sunglasses from Tajima a couple weeks ago and couldn't be more pleased. The process was simple and the turnaround time from the date I ordered till I rec'd the new lenses was outstanding. I am very happy with my purchase and will probably order replacement lenses for a pair of sunglasses for my wife. I highly recommend Tajima.”
So glad to hear you're happy with the lens quality and the service we provided for replacing the lenses in your Kaenon frames! Thanks for the review, Timothy!
“I was amazed at how easy the process was and what great customer service Jacob provided. I had questions on the frames I wanted to use and Jacob answered all my questions. I received my new glasses in about 5 working days from when I sent them. I have never had such clear glasses. No glare at all. I race sailboats and I can see the mark before anyone else on the boat. I could not ask for more. Thanks”
Geoff, glad to hear we could make the process easy for you and that you're thrilled with the quality of your new Tajima lenses! Thank you for the review!
“From start to finish the purchase of replacement lenses for my Maui Jim's was next to effortless. After cataract surgery I had expensive frames w/ prescription lenses that I couldn't use. The switch to standard lenses was a no-brainer after finding Tajima on line.”
“I am very pleased with the lenses and service from Tajima Direct. Really easy to send them the frames and they did a great job. The lenses themselves are great quality, providing a sharp and clear image. I also chose to do the mirror finish and love how they look. The lenses also have a nice style point for including their signature on the top left of one of the lenses, and it's a look that I like.”
“Am a happy customer of the Rosenberg family over two generations, as they had an impact on Oakley, then founded Kaenon, and now Tajima. At each company, the lenses got progressively better. Tajima lenses are beyond anything I have experienced. The glare mitigation is superb, the contrast of light and shadow in/on the water is amplified, and the quality is unmatched. Adding to the challenge, my lenses are prescription. The Tajima polarized lenses are the best I have used.”
Peter, so glad to hear you're loving your new Tajima prescription polarized lenses and that they've surpassed your expectations! Thank you for the wonderful review!
“Excellent service especially since I had some prescription issues ( a conflict between an Rx from an opthalmologist and optometrist). So far the visibility appears excellent and I look forward to using them sailing this summer”
Hi George, glad we caught the potential Rx issues and sorted them out before making your new lenses. Awesome to hear they are working great and you're happy with the service! Thanks for the review!
“Such a quick and easy process to keep your favorite Maui Jim sunglasses looking new! I lost my sunglasses and found them two weeks later in the garden. The frames were fine but the lenses had permanent water marks. I have my favorite sunglasses back and Tajima Direct is very responsive, keeping you posted every step of the way!”
“One of the worst things about getting a bit long in the tooth is eyesight and sunglasses especially if you enjoy outdoor activities. I've accumulated so many pairs of sunglasses over the years, that we actually have a sunglass drawer in the house. My kids actually enjoy pulling out some of the vintage Vuarnets. Sunglasses have become an issue over the last 10 years with changes in my vision, requiring me to wear progressive lenses or contacts on a daily basis. I didn't wear glasses my entire life and I struggle with contacts. Progressive prescription sunglasses from the major players (Maui, Costa, and even RayBan) are prohibitively expensive. I read about Tajima in Sailing World and decided to give them a try.. Using my eye script, a few measurements, and a few conversations with Jacob, I received new sunglasses in short order. I haven't worn the new glasses in bright sunshine on the water yet, but they work great in the snow. I can probably say that the sunglasses are the best lenses I have ever worn. I've already sent an old pair of RayBan aviators back for new lenses. A great concept and great customer service. Keep up the good work Jacob!”
Shawn, thank you very much for the great review! So glad to hear we could be a solution for your eyewear needs and that you see the difference in quality from our lenses to anything you've worn before!
“I read a review about Tajima Direct in the Angling Trade e-news. Knowing the author of the review, Kirk Deeter, to be a straight shooter, and a guy who wouldn't compliment a product if he didn't mean it, I decided to spend less than $90 for Oakley sunglasses lens replacements through Tajima rather than another $200 on a new pair.
On Thanksgiving night, I sent an inquiry to Tajima seeking information about my specific pair of sunglasses, expecting a reply the following Monday, after the holiday. Less than 15 minutes after I sent my inquiry, I received a response from Jacob, co-owner of Tajima.
With my questions answered, I paid for the new lenses. It took 11 days for me to get my lenses, which included Jacob sending me an empty box with a free shipping label, me shipping my glasses back to Tajima, and Tajima sending me my repaired glasses. And this amazing service was during the XMas shipping rush.
The lenses are a prefect match, and high quality. I'll send in a second pair of sunglasses for lens replacement in the near future.
Good people and high quality product. No, I'm not family, I'm a real customer”
Wow! Thank you for the wonderful review, Gary! So happy to hear you're loving the lenses themselves as well as the service we were able to provide for you.
“Great customer service, sunglasses look good so far but I haven’t used them for fishing yet. If I had it to do over, I’d probably get some new frames. My old Rudy Project frames wrap around so far that I needed edge thinning for my prescription. This leads to an annoying abrupt change in refraction at the edges, which is noticeable in peripheral vision. I will have to see with more use how annoying that is on the water. Also, the transitions in my lenses occur at a different height in the field of view than in my every day glasses I guess due to the different design of the frames. Again, it may just be a matter of getting used to this with more use. Thus 4 stars not 5.”
Hi David, thank you for the review. Please note that we did fully inform and warn you about the thickness and detractors of using such a wrapped frame with your strength of power correction needed for your prescription. We actually recommended that you use a less wrapped frame, but you were insistent so we made it for you. I'm sure they'll still work great as you take the time to get used to them.
