Senior-living shoppers often approach eyewear as an immediate practical need, and accessibility matters as much as assortment.
Readers are usually the primary mission
Menus, schedules, books, forms, medication information, and phones create frequent near-reading needs.

Power labels need to be easy to see, the fixture needs to be accessible, and mirror use should not require awkward movement.
What the display should support

Over-the-counter readers are not a substitute for professional eye care or prescribed lenses.
