I carry a 2.5 oz bottle of solution with me that came in a sample pack at the doctor's office, which is sufficient for a week's trip for me, but it irks me that I would either have to go back to the office to get more or else refill that bottle repeatedly as I travel (which can be unsanitary and could lead to vision loss )
