To all the Opticians! Clear Care vs Opti-Free?

So i've been wearing contacts and the doctor allows me to use two solutions. For now i've been using Opti-Free but i kinda wanna try using the Clear Care Solution again instead of Opti-Free.

So, what solution would you guys recommend the most?

P.S: I use Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear, I also sometimes have dry eyes from contacts.
Added (1). Because i am going through a period of getting new glasses and contacts and i really dont want to call my doctor for every inquiry i have.

Can people with astigmatism wear non-toric contact lenses?

I've been looking into special effect contact lenses with my grade in them. Unfortunately, there are no toric versions available (I have astigmatism) so I was wondering if it was fine if I got colored lenses anyway, with my grade.

I''ll be going to my eye doctor soon anyways to ask if he'd recommend it/if it's safe for my eyes, but I want to know from a general view.

How easy is it to buy contact lens in Cabo, Mexico?

I am leaving for a cruise to Mexico early tomorrow morning and my last pair of contact lens have a slight tear. I thought I had an extra set but I cannot find them anywhere. I've read that you do not need a prescription to purchase contact lens in Mexico. Has anyone every purchased contact lens from Mexico before? How easy was it? Do you just go into an Optical store and buy them over the counter? I am stopping in Cabo so if you know a specif place I can go that'd be great. I just need one pair to last me the trip, then I will get an eye exam when I get back. Thanks in advance!
Added (1). Thank you, but i know it's Cabo San Lucas… I just didn't feel like writitng the whole thing down because I knew people would know what I was talking about. It directed towards all of Mexico anyway.

Is it safe to store contacts in used contact lens solution?

I ran out of contact lens solution and it's too late to run to the store and buy some. I have the solution I used from last night still in my contact lens case (the lids have been on the case so nothing has got into the solution) so would it be ok if I store them in there just for tonight?

Why Do I See Blurry With One of My Contacts?

Well, I recently got contacts, and I noticed that one was way bigger than the other. Both my pupils look like they're the same size, so… Also, for my right eye, I have normal contact lenses and for the left eye, I have toric contact lenses for astigmatism. The left eye with astigmatism is the contact that's bigger. I see clearly with my contacts on with the right eye but not the left eye. I also have slightly different prescriptions for each eye. My right eye is -3.75 and my left eye is -3.50. Do you think it's the prescription or the size that's making my left eye see slightly more blurry than my right?
