And now I'm wondering if D&D reading glasses would be a thing to appeal to older gamers (with the part of Gen X without them, needing them soon)...

Try needing them now. My wife and I are both in bifocals and we're definitely GenX.
I started needing my readers 4 years ago, I'm thinking that there's still growth on the younger end of the generation.

I think fantasy themed reading glasses would definitely sell enough to be profitable.
Personally, I started doing my characters on electronic media back in the late 1990s-early 2000s. Mostly for portability. Back then, it was a Palm Tungsten.
Now, my character sheets are done almost exclusively in apps for my iOS devices, which means I can print them if need be, and they’re always with me. Best of all, should my eyes fail me (more than they already have), I can always expand the text to legibility.

45 for me. Within a month of turning 45, I got bursitis, torn labrum, my first kidney stone, gout, tennis elbow, and oh yeah, my sight has gone to hell lol.
45 was like a switch being flipped. Now I'm almost 50, but still hanging. Still working out. Trying to live healthy to keep anything else from breaking lol, although I was recently diagnosed allergic to wheat and dairy.

I guess I'm glad I held it together for two more years than that
At 47 it was the readers, I learned that a chunk of your tooth can fall out due to microfractures, couldn't pull an all-nighter anymore with any hope of functioning the next day, and I pulled my back. Luckily it hasn't gotten much worse in the four years after that.

I doubt they will ever redo the original modules. Aside for the general Dragonlance issues, WotC prefer not to do adventures for non-core rules settings. Then there is the problems with the modules themselves - most of them where not very good*, and suffered from the worst railroading ever seen in published adventures. And Rise of Taimat/Hoard of the Dragon Queen is already a re-imagining of the DL series.
*I liked the sunken city in the first one, but even that lacked player choice.

Maybe it's just that I work in a university library, but the young people I work with fall into two categories: those that already play D&D and those that would like to try it. I'm currently organizing a game for next month for some of my co-workers that have expressed an interest in playing which I'm really looking forward to.
I love the opportunity to share the experience with first time players.
