EYE ON ACCESSORIES
Reader's Choice
by Amy Spiezio

Readers these days come in colors, shapes, and patterns to appeal to virtually any user. This season, models with tech appeal take the stage with folding options that minimize their space consumption without sacrificing style that suits men and women alike.  

The latest batch of sunreaders in a rainbow of colors allow for poolside reading and more while protecting the eyes. On the traditional readers front, new styles have added bursts of sparkle for a whimsical, fun touch. These styles don't forget the details that count, either. An increasing number of readers come with anti-reflective and anti-scratch coatings, providing improved visual comfort, lens durability, and a more attractive presentation.

Following is a sampling of the latest in readers.
