Risks for both contact lenses and LASIK are incredibly low, but with that said strictly from a quantitative perspective, contact lenses carry a higher risk of permanent vision loss than LASIK. The issue is that the risk of LASIK is almost entirely front-loaded whereas the risk from contact lenses causing an infection that results in significant to total loss of vision accumulates little by little.
