Can I still have blepharoplasty if I have to wear glasses or contact lenses?

I have been considering getting a lower blepharoplasty but I must either wear contacts or glasses in order to see. I am practically blind without them. Am I good candidate for lower bleph surgery or should I refrain from getting it? If surgery would cause me to be unable to wear contacts anymore, there is no purpose for me to get the surgery since I would only get it so show my eyes again and not wear glasses.
