Can I Use Hydrogen Peroxide for Contacts

On whether hydrogen peroxide can be used for contact lenses or not
Nowadays, many people wear contact lenses, and there are always doubts about their cleaning and maintenance methods. Among them, whether hydrogen peroxide can be used for contact lenses is of particular concern to everyone.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. It has the ability to disinfect and sterilize in many fields. However, contact lenses are delicate in texture and diverse in material, and are mostly hydrophilic polymers. If hydrogen peroxide is used directly for contact lenses, there may be many inappropriateness.

First, the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may cause damage to the material of contact lenses. The contact lens material is oxidized, deformed, or discolored, resulting in a decrease in its transparency, oxygen permeability, etc., which affects the wearer's visual experience and may shorten the service life of contact lenses.

Second, even after disinfection with hydrogen peroxide, if it remains in contact lenses and is worn into the eyes, it may cause eye discomfort due to its strong oxidation or irritation of eye tissue, such as eye pain, redness, tears and other symptoms, or even damage the surface structure of the eye, affecting eye health.

Therefore, if you want to clean and maintain contact lenses, use a special treatment solution. This treatment solution is scientifically formulated and specially designed for contact lenses. It can not only effectively clean the dirt and protein precipitation on the surface of contact lenses, but also maintain the original properties of contact lenses. It is gentle and non-irritating to the eye tissue, which can ensure eye comfort and health.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide cannot be used for contact lenses. Those who wear contact lenses should understand this and take correct care of contact lenses to protect eye health.
