I am stranded with my contacts in my eyes and as I can not sleep with them in and I have no container with me, I need to be able to store them safely in a makeshift fashion.

Store them in a glass of water. I've done it before many times. Don't forget to clean them before you put them back on.

If both eyes have the same prescription, you can place them
in the same container with water, any clean one will do, to keep them moist. However, if different, then two separate containers are needed and you need to mark them as L and R. Now, if you haven't carried your case, most likely you didn't bring your solution either. You need to clean them thoroughly as soon as you get home and rinse your eyes to prevent infection. If no containers are available, you could use something plastic like a sandwich baggie, etc. as long as it's clean...Yankee ingenuity.

(i had worn them for kind of 9 hours beforehand this) see you later as you save them in answer, that's totally well to take them out for 3 hours and positioned them decrease back in for 4 hours, i'm confident.

When I worked at an opticians office, we would soak them for awhile in just a shallow glass bowl, I would imagine you would have no problems storing them in that overnight.

Place them in two separate clean cups, with solution and cover them ...if it's that serious and you have no solution..water will do...but clean them before you put them back on..
