Sir, getting laser treatment done for removing your glasses is usually for cosmetic reasons.
If your power is too high and your glasses are very heavy and you are not able to tolerate contact lenses, then, you can have laser treatment which will give you a better quality of life.
If you are comfortable with your contact lenses, you can continue using them.
Next Steps
You need a consultation with an ophthalmologist along with refractive work up to see if you can have laser treatment done
Health Tips
Think twice and then decide before you get laser treatment done since every procedure has its own pros and cons.
