Hello,

Found this study in Breastfeeding Abstracts (Nov 1993).  This is
cut and pasted from Medline.  If it were just getting new glasses
or contacts I would see no reason to wait.  Since it involves
laser surgery, it may be prudent to postpone the surgery.

pregnancy on corneal curvature. Contact Lens Assoc Opthal  J 1992

Even though they had been successful contact lens wearers
previously, many women develop contact lens intolerance while
pregnant. We prospectively followed 24 women during pregnancy,
postpartum, and after cessation of breastfeeding. Six women (25%)
developed contact lens intolerance during the study period. There
were no changes observed in refraction, corneal sensitivity,
corneal thickness, or intraocular pressure. However, there was a
statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in corneal
curvature during the second and third trimester which resolved
postpartum or after the cessation of breastfeeding. We discuss
the clinical importance of this finding.

Sincerely,
Andrea
