So it’s true: Hindsight really is 20/20.

You know this because it occurred to you too late that you should have taken your reading glasses on that fancy date. (Sure, those bifocals are unattractive. But not as bad as making your waiter read the entire menu aloud to you.)

Next time, think (and look) ahead with a pair of Amy Sacks reading glasses, a collection of frames that addresses both your vision and fashion needs.

Simplified lines and delicate colors temper the collection’s vintage vibe. Choose metal or thick plastic frames in hues like gunmetal, amber, tangerine, and cherry — from the perfect cat-eye Katarina to the unusual half-rimmed Kelly.

There are also men’s glasses, tinted shades for outdoor use, and nifty beaded cases. So you’ll be set for all kinds of situations in which both reading and looking good are the order of the day.

Let’s hope it’s more often than not.
