Health Canada says some products for disinfecting soft contact lenses contain hydrogen peroxide and can cause eye injury if used improperly. Three products sold in Canada, Clear Care, Aosept and Oxysept contain three per cent hydrogen peroxide and are used for cleaning, disinfecting and storing soft contact lenses. The hydrogen peroxide in these solutions needs to be neutralized in a specialized lens case provided with the product for a certain amount of time before the lenses can be safely inserted into the eyes. Only multi-purpose or saline solutions should be used to rinse contact lenses before they are inserted. Health Canada says it has received reports of eye injuries from consumers who confused the hydrogen peroxide-based contact lens solutions with other types of solutions. Consumers are advised to carefully read and follow labelling and packaging information before buying and using contact lens products.
