Modern eyeglasses are more than vision aids – as designers across the world continuously unveil exciting new designs and innovations, they've become vibrant and exciting fashion accessories. At the 2015 Fall Fashion Week, fascinating new designs emerged. Edwin Y. Endo, OD & Associates, one of the best optometrists in Hawaii, loves fashion eyewear and is very excited about some of the newest, hottest trends.

• Cat Eyes: Cat eye frames never really go out of style. The elongated shape works on almost any type of face, and can either accentuate your smile or create an intimidating look, depending on the style of the frame. Designers are taking it a step further with exaggerated shapes in exciting new materials, making this classic design into a bold new statement.
• Thick, Colorful Frames: In the past, designers tried to create minimalist frames that were as unobtrusive as possible, but large, brightly-colored frames are in. While some of the startling blue and yellow frames seen on New York's runways might be a little much for everyday use, you can have some fun with color when shopping for eyewear frames this season.
• Retro Designs: Along with bold new innovations, you can expect to start seeing styles based on designs from the 60s or 70s, some toned down for a modern look and others with cool, exaggerated elements. Look for round frames, as well as a fresh take on aviators and other blasts from the past.
