Glasses vs. Contacts

      More than six in ten people wear glasses or contacts. Many students at Chadron High School use visual aids.

      April Hardy, a student at CHS, wears contacts and glasses. She's had three pairs of glasses since fourth grade and contacts since eighth grade. April said, "I don't know the exact prescription, but my eyesight is pretty bad. For a couple days, it was hard to get used to putting contacts in. It was really hard to get up close with my eyes." April says that insurance paid for contacts, so it only cost her about fifty dollars.
     Taya Leija, also a student at CHS, wears glasses. She's had her glasses since January of 2016. Taya says that it's hard to see even with her glasses, "I would like contacts, but sadly I can't get them. During One Acts I have to take off my glasses, and it really affects my eyesight. I get really bad headaches and trip over a lot of things." Taya had to pay about three hundred dollars for her glasses.
      Greta Welch, another student at CHS, wears contacts and glasses. She has a prescription of -1.75 in both eyes. Greta has had contacts since eighth grade and glasses since fifth grade. Greta says that contacts can start to hurt if left in for a long time or she falls asleep with them in. It took her about a week to get used to them.
      Gabrielle King, also a student at CHS, has had glasses since she was seven. She is near-sighted and can't see anything without her glasses. Gabrielle says that she has been through seven or eight pairs of glasses, but the ones that she has now cost three hundred dollars.
