Yeah, the whole idea of still wearing reading glasses doesn't bother me at all. In due time, I would need them with my contacts, anyhow, so it was not even a consideration.
Just wearing glasses was not a good option for me. Like I mentioned, I was a -10 diopter prescription. I would, sometimes, actually get mild motion sickness while walking around with my glasses due to the distortion, and I had virtually no useful peripheral vision. The two weeks I had to wear glasses before LASIK were no fun.
Wearing contacts during about every waking moment was becoming less and less an option, too, as I started developing a condition where blood vessels were growing across my cornea. If I wore neither contacts nor glasses, I was legally blind and actually did have to operate as much on memory and feel as vision. Everyone who knows me also knows that they should never, ever touch my glasses, much less move them even a few inches. If I took my contacts out and my glasses were not where I thought they were, I was in some deep kimchi and often needed help to find them.
I got my first pair of glasses when I was five and my first pair of contacts when I was twelve. This is like coming out of a friggin' cave. I never thought I would pay this much money for someone to shoot laser beams at my eyes, but I would do it again without hesitating.
