Book Appointment

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with the latest fall fashion trends for 2024— especially your eyeglasses! After all, what other accessory do you wear every day? We believe your eyewear collection should be just as diverse and exciting as your shoe collection. Whether you’re cozying up in your favorite sweater or adding bold new styles to your look, your eyewear should be just as fashionable!

At Carolina Eye Doctors, updating our inventory is one of our favorite events of the year. We take pride in personally selecting each frame. We’re excited to share some eye-catching trends that elevate your look! Each brand in our office has been carefully curated to showcase a unique style or specific functionality.

1. Bold Frames for a Bold Season

This fall, statement eyewear is taking center stage! Think thick, bold frames in rich autumn colors like deep burgundy, forest green, and warm amber. These frames not only complement the season’s color palette but also add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Whether you’re attending the latest festival or hosting a video conference, bold frames will make your eyes pop. Frames from Etnia Barcelona are designed to be true statement pieces, offering bold colors and unique patterns that effortlessly draw attention.

2. Retro is Back!

Vintage vibes are making a huge comeback in eyewear this fall. Oversized round frames, sleek cat-eye styles, and classic aviators are perfect for anyone looking to channel a bit of old-school charm. Pair them with high-waisted jeans or a tailored coat, and you’ll be stepping out with a look that’s both nostalgic and modern. Retro frames are a great way to mix fashion with function, giving your look a timeless edge. We love the vintage-inspired designs by Scott Harris, one of our most popular unisex collections known for its effortless style.

3. Clear Frames for a Clean Look

If you’re going for a minimalist approach, clear or translucent frames are the perfect option this season. These frames are subtle, lightweight, and go with any outfit. Clear frames are a great way to keep things fresh and modern while letting your natural beauty shine through. Transparent frames are available in a variety of styles and shapes that create a subtle statement while properly highlighting your face shape.

4. Ombre and Two-Toned Trends

If you enjoy mixing patterns or colors, both ombre and two-toned trends offer versatile choices that add visual interest and can easily coordinate with a variety of outfits. Lines like Ted Baker have perfected the ombre frames, with their gradient shades, providing a seamless blend of hues that can enhance your features while maintaining a sophisticated look. On the other hand, a brand like WOOW embraces two-toned glasses for a striking statement, enabling you to showcase your unique personality with attention-grabbing contrasting colors.

5. Comfort is Key

While style is important, comfort is crucial when it comes to eyewear. Make sure your glasses fit well and feel good, especially as you layer up with scarves, hats, and jackets. Eyewear like LOOL prioritizes comfort, weighing in at just 8g to avoid leaving marks on your nose or causing discomfort behind your ears. But don’t worry; they don’t skimp on style! With creative frame shapes and vibrant color palettes, these glasses beautifully combine function and fashion while remaining lightweight.

5. Sunglasses: Fall’s Best Accessory

Sunglasses aren’t just for summer! Fall brings plenty of sunny days, and UV protection is essential year-round. This season, go for oversized sunglasses in bold, angular shapes or classic aviators with a fall twist, like tinted lenses in warm tones. We believe there’s no better way to rock aviators than with the original craftsmen. Wear a piece of history with sunglasses from American Optical, celebrated for their classic designs, outstanding craftsmanship, and lasting durability.

A fluent Spanish speaker, Dr. Garcia’s career has afforded opportunities to work extensively with everyone, from American service members to patients with advanced corneal and retinal diseases to children with autism.

Among her specialties are advanced dry eye disease, Keratoconus, hard-to-fit contact lens patients, myopia management, and cataract co-management. Along with treating patients, she works as an Associate Professor at Salus University.

After graduating at the top of her class, Dr. Garcia pursued her passion and completed a competitive residency in corneal and medical contact lenses at Salus University in Philadelphia. There she provided medical contact lens care for infants, keratoconus, and post-surgical patients.

Following her residency, she joined the prestigious Eye Doctors of Washington in Washington, DC, working directly alongside a team of corneal surgeons to help improve the quality of life for patients with advanced ocular conditions. Working in the heart of Washington, DC, made for exciting times providing eye care for White House correspondents and professional teams like the Washington Capitals and Wizards.
