contacts actually aren't bad, if you get a good fit. I used to wear them and I'd forget I had them in for hours at a time.
Just this week I just got some ESS ICE wrap-around safety glasses, with a prescription insert. They make full contact with my brow line so the crap doesn't get onto the backside too much, and the front is easy to wipe down. I rode home today in a wet snowstorm and had to wipe it off several times; it was no problem even with winter gloves on.
I'm not going to even consider LASIK until the new wavefront-guided method is fully tested and down to a reasonable price. Non-wavefront-guided (all they had up until about a year ago) still has some percentage of irreversible failure which can lead to pretty bad results including essentially night blindness due to excessive flare around bright lights. As both an amateur astronomer and a night-riding lover, there's no way I'll take even a 1/10th percent chance of that outcome.
