The hydrogen peroxide used in commercial contact lens solutions is 3 percent dilution. Stronger strengths can cause severe, permanent damage to the eyes. These should never be substituted or used directly in the eyes or on contact lenses.
Consequently, can hydrogen peroxide burn your eye?
Hydrogen peroxide placed directly into the eyes or on your contact lenses can cause stinging, burning, and temporary corneal damage.
Also, what happens if you get benzoyl peroxide in your eye?
Apply benzoyl peroxide to the areas of your skin affected by acne. Avoid getting this medication into your eyes, inside your nose or mouth, or on any areas of broken skin since it may cause irritation. If this occurs, flush the area with plenty of water.
Does saline solution burn your eyes?
Avoid using saline solution that is too hot, as it may burn the delicate skin inside the nasal passage, around the eyes, or around wounds.
Is Clear Care just hydrogen peroxide?
