Contacts? Glasses? Sounds boring right? Not as boring as you’d think. Did you know that the first vision aid was invented around 1000 AD? It was called a reading stone a small glass sphere that was placed on top of small letters and texts to magnify them for easy reading.
I interviewed a group of middle schoolers about eyewear. Here’s what they had to say.How do your friends react when you don’t wear your glasses was the question. Kyrum H. said “some people say I look good and some say I look like a turtle.” Ms. Cook says “people say I look funny without glasses”. Another question was where is the weirdest place you’ve lost a contact. One person said, “in a barber shop, and another said “in my eye”. Kenceionna .F. says she has never lost a contact...EVER!! Some fun facts are almost everyone who wears glasses or contacts has a family member in their household who does as well. So there you have it, Mrs. Cook’s 7th hour’s take on eyewear.
