On the safety of hydrogen peroxide used in contact lenses
In recent times, contact lenses have been widely used by people to help eyesight and enhance beauty. However, its cleaning and care methods are of concern to everyone. Among them, the use of hydrogen peroxide in contact lens care has been controversial. Today, let's discuss its safety.

For hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name is hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidation. In contact lens care, it can effectively kill all kinds of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. Cover because of its oxidation can destroy the cell wall, cell membrane and internal structure of microorganisms, making it inactivated, which is the key to protecting eye health.

However, its strong oxidation is also a double-edged sword. If not properly treated, direct contact with the eyes will burn the eye tissue, causing eye pain, redness, tears, and even damage vision. Therefore, when used in contact lens care, a special care system is required to neutralize or decompose excess hydrogen peroxide to ensure its safety.

Common hydrogen peroxide care systems contain platinum catalytic tablets or special neutralizers. Platinum catalytic tablets can accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen without harmful residues. The special neutralizer can also react with hydrogen peroxide and convert it into harmless substances. Users follow the correct steps to care for contact lenses with such systems, which can ensure safety.

If the operation is improper, if it is not soaked in the specified time, or the hydrogen peroxide is not fully neutralized, the residual hydrogen peroxide will enter the eyes, which is extremely harmful. There have been cases where users are eager to wear contact lenses. Before the hydrogen peroxide is completely neutralized, they will immediately feel severe eye pain and seek medical treatment.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide is used for contact lens care. If the correct method is followed and the supporting care system is used, it can be guaranteed to be safe and effective. Users should read the instructions carefully, operate with caution, and must not be negligent in order to enjoy the convenience of contact lenses without worrying about eye health.
