Can you wear contacts during labor?

I wear contacts on a daily basis, and don't even own a pair of glasses. My vision is very poor without them. I was wondering if I should pony up the dough to get a pair of glasses for night feedings and for the big day.

I plan on a natural birth with a midwife, but if I wind up with an emergency c-section, would contacts be a problem during surgery? Sorry if this is a silly question.
