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.
Hydrogen peroxide contact lens solutions use 3% hydrogen peroxide to deeply clean, disinfect, and store soft contact lenses. The peroxide breaks down proteins, lipids, and pathogens on the lens surface through oxidation. After soaking in the provided lens case for a dedicated period of time, a neutralisation process converts the hydrogen peroxide into a harmless solution. Vision Direct stocks AOSEPT PLUS with HydraGlyde from Alcon and EasySept from Bausch + Lomb.
Yes, absolutely. Hydrogen peroxide contact lens solution must be fully neutralised before you insert your lenses. Unneutralised hydrogen peroxide causes immediate, significant pain and potential damage to the cornea. Neutralisation happens automatically in the provided lens case: a platinum disc built into the case converts the peroxide into a safe solution after a minimum soaking period of six hours. Never shorten the soaking time, use a different case, or insert lenses in the eye before the six-hour minimum soaking period is complete.
Hydrogen peroxide contact lens solutions are ideal for wearers with sensitive eyes or a known intolerance to the preservatives in standard multi-purpose solutions. Because the end product after neutralisation is a preservative-free solution, there is zero preservative contact with the eye on insertion. They are also a strong choice for wearers who experience significant deposit build-up on their lenses, or for silicone hydrogel lens wearers whose lenses become less comfortable later in the wearing period.
