Switching from disposable lenses to RGP, use the same solution?!
Question: I've got plenty of multi purpose solution for storage and cleaning left over and they all have "for soft contact lenses" on the label. Can I still use the saline for my RGPs?

This question really can't be answered here without more information. RGP contacts are made from many different materials, so there is no way to know what you could and should not use on your new RGP contacts without knowing what material they are made of...?
With that said, most RGP contacts require a little stronger cleaner than soft contacts, and generally have dedicated solutions for RGP use.
If you are talking about sterile saline solution, yes, that you could use on any contacts for rinsing, etc...
I use regular saline for my RPGs and I don't have any problems. I've been wearing my lenses for years. 2D
