Peroxide solution is for disinfecting, cleaning, rinsing and storing your
contact lenses. However this type of solution requires special handling. The
instructions below must be followed carefully for safe use.
- Never
apply peroxide solution directly into the eyes, as it can cause serious
injury.
- Never use a flat contact lens case with peroxide solution. Use
only the special case that contains a neutralising disc that is included with
the solution.
- Never remove the lenses from the special case before
completion of the neutralisation process (at least 6 hours).
- Never
overfill the case with solution. Leaked and non-neutralised solution can
inadvertently come into contact with lenses or your fingers, causing
injury.
Precautions and rules of use are specified on each of our
peroxide solution descriptions in a red warning box. Make sure to read it
thoroughly before purchasing and using your solution.
This type of
solution is unique and come with many benefits. Among other benefits, peroxide
solutions are particularly well-suited for wearers with allergies, or those who
are sensitive to preservatives that can be found in multipurpose solutions. The
disinfecting process includes the necessary step of neutralization, which will
be either a one-stage or a two-stages process.
