  You can use the saline as a replacement for temporary use. But you still need to soak it in the solution for one day to disinfect if you get new solution.

  Contact solutions and saline are two of the best solutions for contacts. You can use the saline as a substitute for temporary but not for premament. Never use water or homemade saline which will easily lead you to infections of bacterials.

  If you have run out of the contact lens solution, then saline solution is a good option, which is similar to contact lens solution.Saline solution is a disinfectant solution, so it will not do harm to contact lenses. If you have no saline solution, then distilled water is ok.However, remember not to use tap water to clean your contacts or sotre them.

  Sterile lubricating eye drops can be ok.Never use water.

  It is really a good question that many people wearing contact lenses care about. I have been to the same place just as you described. I needed to get the lenses out but with no solution at hand. If you happen to have the moisturizing eye drops with you, then you can consider to use the drops as alternation solution to clean and store your contact lenses. As the essential component of contact lens solution is saline water, so it is ok for you to use saline water, distilled water or salt water as alternatives. But there are some other components in solution such as boric acid or anti-bactierial agents, to help deproteinization and kill most bacterial. All the alternatives can be used temporarily if you are in a pinch, after all alternative is better than nothing. But you should get solution the very second day or as soon as possible, because these alternatives introduced above can't help deproteinization and kill bacteria.

  Hey, Spin Rewriter just launched! You can check out the demo video and get the free trial here: https://www.alecpow.com/spin-rewriter-official I said a load of stuff yesterday about how Spin Rewriter was better. (Pretty certain that at one point I compared it favourably to Gal Gadot, and that is a high bar) But I didn't really explain why. So here it is. Most spinners just look up words in a huge table of synonyms. Which is why they get confused pretty easily. In that sentence above, they'd swap 'pretty' for 'beautiful'. But 'they get confused beautiful easily' makes no sense. Which means when you use a spinner like that, you have to spend your evening rewriting the mess they've given you. Spin Rewriter is smarter. It uses something called Emulated Natural Language. This means it understands that 'pretty' can mean 'very' - and make the right swap. And what that means for you, is that when you use Spin Rewriter, your spins come out readable first time. You don't have to spend ages checking and rewriting them. Just grab the text, give it a once-over, and stick it on your blog. Have a look at the demo here: https://www.alecpow.com/spin-rewriter-official Now - I get it. It's hard to believe a spinner can be that good. But one other thing I like about the Spin Rewriter crew - they put their money where their mouths are. You can sign up for a 5-day free trial. Get all the features. Spin as many articles as you like. Only pay after you've tried it for yourself. Sound good? Then go here and get your account: https://www.alecpow.com/spin-rewriter-official
