That makes sense of course but I was explicitly told not to wear
contacts for 1 week before the procedure in each each eye
respectively. I forgot to ask why but I suspect that since contacts
slightly deform the cornea it could potentially affect positioning and
vaulting of the implant and thus increase the risk of inaccurate
centering and of contact with the natural lens. Not sure though.

So while wearing a contact would probably be the most comfortable
solution I'm gonna stick with half a set of glasses or the patch if it
can't be helped... just in case. It's only a week anyhow.

thanks for the tips though!
