Wearing Contacts Prior to LASIK - Non-regular Contact Wearer

Lansing796
I have LASIK scheduled for Thursday this week. I found the instructions and read them over and caught the part about not wearing contacts. I have worn them twice in the last week and would like to know the level of concern since I have worn them. I have an astigmatism and wear Air Optix (are these toric?) Here is a timeline: February 7: Worn for 2 hours February 21: Worn for 2 hours February 26: Worn for 2 hours March 3: Surgery Today is February 27
