It will depend on your solution, but if you do not have the kind that you have to rinse off then you should be fine to use it as eye drops. I have always used Opti-Free Replenish and I know for sure that the solution is safe to use as eye drops. The one thing to note here though, is that the solution will re-wet your lenses and not necessarily moisturize your dry eyes. So it will help the contacts feel less dry, but it may not help your eyes as much as an actually eye drop would.
