As you point out, the contact solutions that most of us need during a day of travel do not come in smaller amounts than 4 oz.
You know what, I just answered my own question. I now remember about a year ago when I got my new contacts getting a 'starter' pack from Opti-Free from the Optometrist that had 1 1/2 oz. bottles of Opti-free solution in them. I've not seen those for sale in the stores, though. I'd hate to have to go to an eye doctor just to have some flyable contact solution. Both of my final destinations this weekend (FCA and FAY) had reasonable fast checked baggage return, so I guess I should be thankful for that.
