Peroxide — deep disinfection with mandatory neutralization
Peroxide systems, also referred to as peroxide solutions, are designed for deeper lens disinfection. They are often considered by wearers looking for a more thorough care routine, especially when deposits build up more easily or when sensitivity to some standard care solutions is a concern.
Neutralization is an essential step before the lenses can be worn again. It must always be carried out in the dedicated case supplied by the manufacturer and for the full recommended time. A peroxide solution should never be applied directly to the eye or used like a standard multipurpose solution.
Essential rules
- Only use the specific case with the catalyst or disc supplied with the system.
- Never place peroxide directly in the eye or on a lens that has not been neutralized.
- Respect the full neutralization time shown in the instructions.
- Do not combine this routine with another care solution on the same day unless specifically advised.
After neutralization, a saline rinse may be suitable depending on your habits and the manufacturer’s guidance. If you are unsure or uncomfortable, ask a specialist for advice: artoptic.ch.
FAQ
Why choose a peroxide system?
A peroxide solution is often chosen for its deeper disinfection. It may suit some wearers with sensitive eyes, heavier deposits or a preference for a more thorough lens care routine.
Can I use a regular lens case?
No. Only the dedicated neutralizing case supplied with the system should be used.
Is peroxide better than a multipurpose solution?
Not in every situation. Peroxide offers deeper disinfection, while a multipurpose solution is often simpler for daily use. The right choice depends on your lenses, comfort, tolerance and professional advice.
