It can take a couple days, to a couple weeks... they'll let you wear your personal glasses until you get Navy glasses... but they won't let you wear contacts.

I haven't worn glasses or contacts since I got LASIK in 2007, but I remember what it was like to wear contacts for a long day... I'd recommend sticking to glasses since you're gonna be tired, and they'd make you toss your contacts anyway.
