Now seriously, water is a bigger medical necessity to all passengers than contact solution (and I sympathize as a contact wearer). The logic of the "medical exemption" is slippery, at least.
As for the suggestions made by PhlyingRPh, I would just like to remind people here that those personalized pharmacy labels are not used in the rest of the world. I have lived in 3 countries in South America over the years, and none of them label prescription medications with the name of the patient. They all sell medications in their original, factory-produced, package.
