Can I store my contacts overnight (just this once) in something besides contact solution?

Nope. Don’t think so. Possibly distilled water but you need to confirm. You probably need to run to the store for some saline.

i wouldn’t put mine in anything besides solution.
i had to put them in water once, for like 10 minutes while i went tanning and it just dried them out and made them super uncomfortable and gross.

I’ve kept mine in water before. I didn’t have any problems but then again I’m the guy who leaves them in untill they bother me bad enough that I have to change them.

Are these soft? I wear rigid gas permeable lens and can store them dry if need be.

Astro, most are soft these days, they’re just much more comfortable.

I wouldn’t store mine in anything other than solution or saline. I wear soft as well. I would get to looking for that bottle you bought.

Soft contacts can only be stored in solution. If you have any made-for-contacts eyedrops, that will work.

(I used eyedrops once when I flew out to a wedding, wasn’t checking a bag, and couldn’t find a bottle of contact solution smaller than 4 oz—1 oz over the carry-on limit. Anyway, the eyedrops worked just fine for two days. Actually, only one day, because my day-early flight got canceled.)

If you don’t have solution store them in your eyes. Your contacts are rated for overnight use. Although it’s been awhile since you’ve worn them I can’t imagine what one over night could do, especially since they are new. I sleep in mine frequently and never had a problem.

My partner, Jenn, wears gas permeable and she puts them in water at times with no ill effect.

I don’t think so, u can put it in there for a couple of hours but not the whole night
