It's World Diabetes Day.

Did you know diabetes can affect your eyes?

Diabetes can lead to an eye condition known as Diabetic Retinopathy, which when left untreated may cause eye damage and vision loss.

Like many other eye conditions, symptoms are not always evident in the early stages, which is why regular eye tests are so important for early diagnosis.

Scenario: It's been raining and now the sun comes out. Ack! Glare! Bright light! You grab your cheap sunglasses you got from a discount store, but they are just not doing the job. It's quite likely those lenses are not polarised, and you are one of the many glare-sensitive people who need polarised lenses.
Polarised lenses work by cutting out reflective light from surfaces such at snow, sand, concrete and, most especially, water. Not only do polarised lenses cut out glare from water, but they also allow the wearer to see *into* the water, which makes them a necessity for fishermen.
If you want a pair of unscripted polarised sunglasses, we have a good stock for you to choose from, but you can also have them made up in your prescription. Comes and see us at 368 Main Road, Glenorchy to try and buy!

There are two ways to have a permanently tinted lens. One is to have polarised lenses, or you can have a simple dyed tint on your lenses. This is exactly what it sounds like, the lenses are put into a vat of dye and left to soak until they have reached the depth of colour you want them to be. The great advantage with this sort of tint is you have the choice of quite a large number of different coloured tints, even two different tints on the one lens. Unfortunately, the lenses are not polarised, so they don't cut down the glare you get off water or a wet road when the sun comes out. But they are budget friendly, and if you aren't glare-sensitive, they are a very good option.

Carrera was created in 1956 in Austria by Wilhelm Anger. Anger wanted to create glasses that both protected and enhanced the performance of athletes. Combining durability and flair, Carrera frames meld well with sports such as car racing and skiing whilst also having designs for fashion. So, you could have skiing goggles, sunglasses and regular glasses all with Carrera frames. What more do you need?
