I used to be the same - 10+ years of waring contacts, I could pop them in and out of an eye without thinking about it in seconds.
But then when I got older I started getting more eye infections and each time you can’t really use contacts as it irritates the eye, so back to glasses.
And then I started reading a bit more about how you can get resistant bacteria infections from contacts (basically guaranteed blindness) I realized I was risking my eyes each and every day anyway, better to bite the bullet and go for a surgery. Risk once and be done with it.
I think the feeling of freedom and one less thing to worry about that I got after the successful LASIK was akin to when I first switched from glasses to contacts. I think its totally worth it.
