I have been wearing glasses since 11th grade, and fuckloads of braces before then. Yeah, I hated high school.
Contacts aren't bad, but as a stoner my eyes get irritated with them. I've been a glasses only guy for about 10 years now, and I doubt I'll go back. I'm due to get new glasses, but I hate getting them. I'm of the school of thought that they just make your eyes lazier and lazier. Maybe one day I'd consider Lasic, but I don't know.
My mom's business parter got that shit in the early 90s and has/had halos at night. Of course he was an idiot for being one of the first, and I don't think he regretted it, but yeah. That's gotta suck.
