I've been keeping an eye on this thread for a while (pun intended) as I've only been wearing contact lenses for a short time and was interested, with a North Africa trip coming up, to see (as above) how people got on with them in dusty dry conditions.
Prior to my binning the specs I made enquiries regarding laser treatment and found that this procedure carried certain risks. The main one for me was that the treatment permanently damages the rods in your eyes that enable night vision. The degree to which occurs is different in each individual case. Apparently the effect is to make light sources such as headlamps appear like stars. In the course of making enquiries I conacted my own occupational health officer who advised me that If I had the surgery I would not be allowed to drive or carry a firearm at work during the hours of darkness such was there concern.
