Anna-Karin Karlsson Phat Cat Translucent Bug Limited 1st Edition
The 'Into the Night' Collection - taking you from sunlight to starry skies; from day play to night games; from dusk to dawn. Featuring crystal-encrusted designs fitted with lightweight and exquisite Zeiss lenses, the collection is designed to be worn throughout the day and well into the night.
The Phat Cat square sunglasses embody the spirit of the collection, beautifully juxtaposing the sharp lines of a classic mask style square frame with the elegance and high drama of crystal embellishment. The frame is crafted from translucent acetate, fitted with grey gradient Zeiss lenses. The front of the frame is crowned by twisting detailing wrought in 24 carat yellow gold plating; finished with a jewelled bug motif, a signature of the brand identity. Inlaid with white custom-made Swarovski crystal, faceted in the round brilliant diamond cut style for maximum glitter, the adornment is reminiscent of the scarab beetle detailing favoured by the royalty of ancient Egypt. Each temple also bears the iconic AKK logo in repeating pattern, standing out prominently in 24 carat yellow gold plating. A true statement piece in the pursuit of beauty.
Anna-Karin Karlsson collections are created for an exclusive audience, and designs are produced in only 20-150 pieces worldwide. This Limited First Edition frame numbers 3 of only 50 created, and comes with a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity.

Zeiss OCT ... Next Level Eye Examinations
This is a hospital standard carried out at i2i Optometrists Howard St. using the latest Zeiss equipment.
Many common eye diseases can develop without significant symptoms. Even if your vision and eyes appear perfectly fine, it’s useful to gain a full scan of your retina using an OCT scanner. This test takes a few minutes and is comfortable to undertake. In particular, an OCT scan can help to detect eye conditions like glaucoma, diabetes and age related changes to the retina.
Our Optometrist can look more closely at just how healthy your eyes are. The results are shown in 3D and provide much more information than ever before. The OCT examinations is part of the Free Eye Exam service at i2i Optometrists.
Glaucoma Visual Fields
All eye exams for those over the age of 60 include a detailed measurement of the visual field using the gold standard Zeiss Humphrey Field Screener.
This instrument is the same as used in Eye Hospital Departments. It is used to detect any visual field defects such as may be present in the early stages of Glaucoma or other conditions.
Our Optometrists can also monitor any visual field changes over time to assess progress. In conjunction with OCT this provides us with a comprehensive set of data to help ensure that your eye examination is as comprehensive as possible.
