I dropped my contact lens in the sink. is it still okay to use if i clean it with solution?

Yes: Retrieve the lens and clean it thorougly and unless there was significant contamination in the spot of the sink where the lens fell. Otherwise you should do fine and can wear the lens after cleaning and rinsing.
