  Well, so sorry to hear that you are going give birth to your baby through C-section, as a matter of fact, my mother gave birth to me in that way, which is very torturous. So, since the surgery is very difficult, and would last for several hours, thus I recommend that you take them off beforehand. Anyway, you should follow the tips from the doctor and be ready to go.

  No, it is not OK for you to wear the contact lenses when you are during the c-section because you will get the anesthesia and lose the amount of blood. If you wear the contact lenses, your eyes may lack of water quickly and cause the eyes infection easily. It is very dangerous for you to wear the contact lenses during c-section. Thus, you'd better take it off firstly.
