How to use less contact solution!

[ironmaiden]

My bottle of contact solution says to rinse the lenses with contact solution for 5 seconds. Then you fill the dispenser with contact solution and soak the lenses.

Well, I thought of this expensive solution rinsing the lenses and going down the drain. And I thought, it's not like it is super dirty or that its cleaning properties have been used up. So now I rinse my lenses over the vial that I need to fill, filling the vial up as I rinse.

I did mention this to my eye doctor and he just shrugged his shoulders.

I know its supposed to be no-rub solution but I clean my lenses the old-fashioned way. (rub in the palm of your hand for 20 seconds) I've been wearing contacts for so long that its the way I'm used to doing it anyways and I can't see wasting so much solution.
