I have friends in the medical profession, all of them have significant input regarding opthalmology. Not one of them wears contact lenses only glasses, the main reason is that the eye is a delicate object easily damaged. The current use of lasering eyes is frowned on by them as well, mostly due to the fact your eyes and the muscles controlling them change with time and age, what may fix at one point will come back and bite you later on. However your choice.
