Clean Contact Lenses Using Peroxide

Clean your contact lenses regularly to remove protein and contaminants.


Hydrogen peroxide contact lens solutions make an ideal alternative for those allergic to multipurpose solutions. The peroxide breaks down germs, proteins and microbes, cleaning and disinfecting the lenses. Since hydrogen peroxide should never come in contact with the eyes, peroxide-based solutions require a neutralizer to break down the peroxide into water and oxygen after the cleaning. Some types have a lens case with a neutralizer built in, or a separate tablet neutralizer for rinsing.


Instructions


1. Wash your hands thoroughly and dry them.


2. Remove your contact lenses and place them in the lens case. Some kits include a special case for use with the solution. Use only this case when specified by the manufacturer.


3. Fill the case with peroxide solution and allow them to soak for the specified period of time. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions--most peroxide solutions are "no rub" formulas, but some may require rinsing before soaking.


4. If the solution requires a neutralizer tablet, add it when specified by the manufacturer. Once the solution has neutralized, the contact lenses are ready to wear.
