New ClipTech Models for Fall

Alternative Eyewear has added several unique models to its ClipTech collection. The K3783 features bold, geometric patterns on the inside of a classic shape, mixing the familiar with a little something new. The K3893 and K3894 use eye catching colour fades to create beautiful, unique eyewear. Each ClipTech model comes with a free metal polarized magnetic clip-on. All new models feature the back-mounted system, allowing for a more secure hold and a seamless, light-weight integration with the frame.

A New Technique for Assessing Diabetic Retinopathy

Ultrawide field (UWF) retinal cameras are providing new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. A recent study from the Joslin Diabetes Centre shows that many lesions in the peripheral areas of the retina are missed by standard retinal photographs, which cover only about a third of the retina, and these lesions are an indicator that the patient is at high risk of progressing towards a vision-threatening stage of the disease.

“What was a big surprise is how much of a risk this added and how much of the disease was found outside of the area we’ve traditionally evaluated,” said Dr. Lloyd Paul Aiello, Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School.

A larger trial, run by the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network, that will monitor 350 diabetic patients with UWF imaging for four years, is currently underway.

Blackfin’s Newest Addition for Women: the Frazier

Blackfin model BF739 Frazier is a new women’s frame combining hand-crafted techniques with modern design. A special technique has been used in the production of this frame whose milled top rim creates a play of volumes and a contrasting perspective between the front and the rest of the frame. The contrasting colour combinations further highlight this three-dimensional effect.

BF739 is available in different colour combinations: opaque finish grey/fuchsia, dark/light blue, deep purple/pink, and matte dark brown/glossy pink and red/metallic pink. This amazing range of shades with a choice of primary and secondary colours, deep rich tones or metallic gloss is ideal for women who seek quality and originality in fashion and who, above all, want to express their own personality.
