A member asked:

Can i use eye drops to store my contacts over night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Eyedrops are compatable with contact lenses. The manufacturers know this and do not make drops that would have an adverse effect. It is a rather expensive source of contact lens storage solution.
