Spectacle frames form an essential element of an efficient optical solution. The success of complex lens designs is dependent on suitable frame selection. Patients who have not been provided with suitable frame selection advice sometimes complain of symptoms which they consider to be caused by an “inaccurate lens prescription”.
Coffs harbour Podiatry I have Diabetes; should I see a Podiatrist? Yes. It is very important to see a Podiatrist, as people with Diabetes risk serious and debilitating complications and even amputation.
Lightweight frames are a priority for some, while for others durability is essential. Alloys which are both flexible and lightweight have made it possible to develop sturdy frames while limiting the additional weight.
What complications can affect the feet of Diabetics?
Mod Style Eclipse Multiflex frames are specially engineered using "memory metals", making them extremely durable while still being sleek, modern and lightweight, while also providing superior style and comfort for those in demanding environments. In the past, memory metal frames were mostly manufactured in basic traditional styles. However, Eclipse Multiflex has broadened the choice with a range that consists of both traditional as well as newer leading edge designs to cater for the more fashion conscious.
Secondly, a person can lose the feeling in the feet due to nerve damage. This results in the lack of ability to feel injury to the feet and legs. Under these circumstances, even a minor cut or blister of little significance to other people can be problematic to Diabetics. Thus, it is recommended that people with Diabetes should be assessed by a Podiatrist at least once a year. The Podiatrist will test the nerves and blood supply to the feet. You will be advised on a daily care routine and possible further professional help to reduce the risk of injuries and complications.

Diabetes may affect the feet in two ways. Firstly, the blood supplyto the feet can be compromised due to damage to the blood vessels. This makes it harder to heal any injuries.
