Though uou can use contact lenses but it may further add to the problem of dryness. And After 3to 4 yrs you will have to use presbyopic specs. So continue with the glasses.

That would depend on the type of lasik surgery performed and amount of residual power.

Ideally glasses should be used. However if udercorrection is a very minor number, then you might not even need glasses. However if you're askinh for yourself, Lasik at your age isn't recommended as you shall anyway get a reading number post 40 years of age and you will have to wear glasses anyhow.

Using glasses is a better option. Post LASIK eyes are prone for dryness. Using contact lens can aggravate that.
Next Steps
contact lenses should not be used daily
Health Tips
Always use lubricant eyedrops to avoid dryness
