I've got horrible vision and plan on going for Lasik sometime in the next year (if they can even do anything) because my contacts run $600-700 per six-month supply. Glasses are out of the question unless I want to go for the coke-bottle look; even the thin ones that they make now look really thick in my prescription.
That being said, I wouldn't mind a correction in my eyesight that required me to wear glasses afterwards. The safety factor of being able to see better without any sort of correction is too great, and if I lost a contact while on the road/driving I'd be completely screwed. It's a nondescript mess without.
