Wearing contacts before laser consultation?

Beau

I had my laser eye consultation last week and the night before I wore my contacts for an hour and a half for tag rugby, at the time I thought nothing of it but do you think I couldve messed up the tests?

You're probably better off contacting the place you got it done in. The reason why you're not supposed to wear them for a good while coming up to the consultation is that they can alter the shape of your eye which means any measurement taken could be skewed. If an hour and a half makes much of a difference I don't know, doesn't sound like too long anyway. Where you wearing them often coming up to the consultation before then ?

Exactly, good explanation there.
We can't exactly advise (unless there are experts here ) on if it affected your tests.

You should contact the clinic before going any further

I think it depends on the type of tests that they were carrying out. Contact them and ask.

If they say that it may have affected the test results, and they hadn't told you before hand not to wear them, then you should reconsider using them for the operation.
