Put them in clean water, but be sure to soak them in solution before putting them in your eyes again. This is important because the solution kills germs but water does not.
It is very important to have contact solution always. If you run out and too broke to buy another bottle, then go to your optometrist. He/she will be glad to give you a trial bottle.
Using Visine while wearing contacts can result in the solution becoming trapped between the lens and your eye. This can cause discomfort, blurry vision, and possibly damage to the contact lenses. It is recommended to remove your contacts before using Visine, and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
No- even purified water still contains contaminants that can be harmful to your eyes so you should never use water to clean, store, or soak your lenses in. Solutions are designed to thoroughly cleanse, and remove protein build ups and bacteria from the lenses. Always make you check with your optometrist before purchasing solutions as not all types will be suitable for you.

Cleaning Hard contacts and soft contacts are very easy and similar. For soft contact cleaning, you must first wash your hands. This is so the oil and dirt on your hands don't ruin your contacts. Then remove one contact and place it in the palm of your hand with a few drops of contact solution. Rub the contact with your fingers for atleast 10 seconds to remove all the dirt. Then poor a few more drops of solution on the contact to rinse it. Put the contact back in it's case and repeat with the other contact. Hard contacts are very similar. The only difference is, after you rub them clean, instead of rinsing them with solution, rinse them with tap water. After placing contacts back in their place, be sure to fill the case with solution so they won't get dry.
If you don't have your contact solution, the only thing to do is get some. Contacts should only be stored in contact solution and never anything else. Storing the lenses in anything else, even water, can create a bacterial environment that can cause an eye infection.
Some companies that sell contact lens solution include Opti-Free, Boston Simplus, and Biotrue. There are many other companies that sell contact lens solution besides Clear Care, which provides you with a variety of choices.

It isn't recommended to put your contacts in water. Is it because you don't have any eye-contact solution to leave your contacts in at night? I tried that JUST ONCE overnight and nothing such as irritation occurred but I have heard that if you do leave your contacts in water, a bacteria will form called amoeba and could be extremely fatal and may cause even blindness. Same goes for swimming with contacts in your eyes. Definitely a no, just for your safety :)
Yes, contact lens solution and cases must be placed in the liquids bag when traveling by air.
Yeah I just did it and it worked fine. Make sure you rinse your contact off with cold water after using the hard contact solution, because it is thick almost like a gel and I don't know that it would feel great in your eye.
To safely store your contact lenses while flying with contact solution, make sure to pack your contact lens case and solution in your carry-on bag.
