Hydrogen Peroxide Contact Lens Solutions

Using hydrogen peroxide contact lens solution requires a little more work than multi-purpose solution, but is great for a truly deep clean. We stock a range of hydrogen peroxide solutions such as Oxysept 1Step and AOsept Plus Hydraglyde, perfect for when you want to ensure your lenses stay as clean as possible.

When you wear monthly or weekly contact lenses, a regular cleaning routine is essential for keeping your lenses safe to use and comfortable. This involves rinsing and washing your contact lenses at the end of each day, and storing them in solution overnight.

Hydrogen peroxide contact lens solutions can be either a 1-step or 2-step process. Both require that the solution is neutralized so that it becomes saline and is safe for your eyes. In 1-step systems, you place your lenses in a holder within a lens case, fill it with solution and a special material inside the case then neutralises the solution. For a 2-step system, the lenses are stored in hydrogen peroxide for a short while before a neutralising agent is added.

When using a hydrogen peroxide solution, it’s important that you follow the instructions that come with it. If the peroxide isn’t neutralised it can cause harm to your eyes, so taking care with this solution is vital. The process is easy to learn, however, meaning you can enjoy clean and fresh feeling lenses that are as comfortable at the start of the day as they are at the end.
