I'm a UK pilot too and wear contacts.
I personally wouldn't want to risk my livelihood by having laser treatment. I know the risks are small but also that the results can vary between people for many reasons - risk/reward ratio too high for me as any problems or an unsatisfactory result could mean loss of medical and a career change!
Is there a particular reason you want to bin glasses/contacts for laser?
I'd just be a little wary as I assume this is also your livelihood.
Just my thoughts!
