It just depends on the medical condition you're treating. Normally you cannot do this as the preservatives, chemicals in the medication can interfere with the lens material and make your vision blurry. In some conditions, it is necessary to wear the contacts and you have to do the antibiotic drops over the contact. It's best to ask the medical professional who prescribed the medication.
Depends on the diagnosis. A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.
No! Take out your contact lenses while putting the drops in.
