I'd go with the goggles if you can get your prescription. My prescription is almost as high as yours, so send them an email, and they might be able to sort you out. I have a pair of those goggles and I doubt that you'd notice the loss of peripheral vision all that much. I know a couple of people that had problems with contact + goggle. Personally I never like contacts, even just for walking around, but that's probaly just me. Anyways I found the goggles to be the best answer. Goodluck
