I wore contacts for 25 years.
One day in a new (to me) sailplane, lots of turbulance (rotor) a contact popped out.
Try landing a high performance sailplane with one eye, no depth perception.
to add to my anxiety, my spare glasses were no longer in my pocket and somewhere
in the depths of the sailplane chassis.
Got LASIK and never looked back.
Vision is much better than with contacts.
Contacts have knarly issues w infections, debris, etc. that can be serious.
LASIK in 2015 is a very safe and precise procedure.
Just be sure the laser is 2012 or newer and reputable surgeon.
