There are restrictions on what you're uncorrected vision can be,
regardless what it is corrected to.

The suggestion to not wear the contacts for 24 hours prior is to allow
the eye to adjust to not having them in. Not sure with newer lenses,
but with hard lenses they reshape the eye somewhat.


I've never been asked to take my contacts out during my medical exam.

I have taken out my contacts every time, they checked it corrected and
uncorrected. I don't know what the limit on uncorrected vision is but I know
I can't see a damn thing without glasses or contacts.
