Been wearning glasses since the second grade. Tried contacts when I was 19 and HATED them. I got a goopy buildup in them within an hour, and had worse vision than glasses. Everyone I knew that had contacts said they saw better with them than glasses, but not me.
As for Lasik, I have a very good friend who had it done a couple of years ago, and she regrets it. She has really dry eyes now, and has to put in drops several times a day. Plus she says she doesn't see as well as she did with glasses.
I've never really found glasses to be that inconvenient. Most sports/activities that I participate in outdoors has me wearing sunglasses (perscription) anyway. And when I played volleyball indoors for years, I never found them to be a problem. And for SCUBA, I have perscription lenses in my mask. Ditto for swim goggles.
