no need to read between the lines—readers make for a fun pop of color and a simple add-on sale. Plus, according to The Vision Council’s VisionWatch Readers Standard Report, 52.09 million pairs of over-the-counter readers were sold across all retail channels over the past year (for the 12 months ending March 2017)—up by 2.5% from the previous year, with a 2.7% increase in sales volume. The optical channel alone sold 6.6% of those reading glasses, a number that remained stable year over year. Score seven of this season’s most stylish readers here.
