You should try wearing them and see if your eyes can adapt to the contacts or not.
I have been wearing contacts for more than 6 years and never got any problem with it.
I think each ppl has different kind of eyes, some can adjust to contacts, some cannot, so you just have to try and see if you can make it.
LASIK is a bad idea IMO for a person who already has known dry eye. LASIK *causes* dryness. it certainly doesnt fix it.
some contacts can actually help with some types of dry eye by holding water onto the eye. i say go ask your eye care professional
optometrist

Please listen to the Dr. Above. He is exactly right. LASIK isn't recommended if you have dry eyes. I would see your Optometrist and see what they recommend for you.
Optician
I have dry eyes and i have contact lenses and im 15
If you go to the optician and tell them about your dry eyes they'll give you contacts that can actually help your dry eyes.
i had to stop wearing contacts because of dry eye. since i had my lenses in my eyes replaced, i have 20/40 vision.
Why don't you consider Laser Surgery. I wore contacts and glasses for years and I had dry eyes, too. Now I only wear reading glasses when I have to.
