Latanoprost and overnight contact lens timings

I use Ortho-K lenses that reshape the cornea overnight and I put them in just before bed and take them out in the morning.

I was just prescribed Latanoprost for high eye pressure and I am worried about already using drops during the night for my contacts.

I wake up at 8am everyday and read that you should use Latanoprost 10 hours before waking so they should be most effective used at 10pm the previous night.

Is it safe to use Latanoprost at 10pm then do my regular contact lense routine a few hours later at my bed time, which includes multiple eye drops and contact solution? (celluvisc and blink contact lense drops)

It says you can use contacts 15 minutes apart after using Latanoprost but I don't want to just be twiddling my thumbs waiting if I can just use it earlier. I want to stick with a good routine.

Thanks for any advice.

Diagnosed with high eye pressure and was prescribed latanoprost eye drops but I need to take them at night, how do I do this around my Ortho-K contact eye drops?

I use regular eye drops to help with putting in my ortho K lenses, then I put celuvisc drops inside the contacts to stop rubbing. Not sure if I have to put the new latanoprost eye drops in after my contacts are in or if I have to do it before and leave it for 15 mins then do my contacts.

Any advice?
