Yeah, but the risk from contact lenses comes over time as it's a risk every time you put your lenses in where with laser correction the risk pretty much only exists while you are healing. You really only have to avoid getting stuff in your eye while the bandage lens is in.

Everything I've read about comparing the risk notes this factor.

I'm sure that if you wear contacts perfectly all the time the risk is very low, but as we all know people do stupid things.

That said, the decision to get surgery was more about not having to deal with glasses or contacts every day and less about the risk.
