your eye care professional may recommend additional products
or procedures.
Always follow the instructions for use and allow to soak for at
least 4 hours. Do not rinse lenses with PeroxiClear before
inserting in eyes, or burning and stinging will result. If you
accidentally get unneutralized PeroxiClear in your eyes, remove
lenses immediately and flush eyes with large amounts of water or
sterile saline. If burning or irritation continues, seek help from an
eye care professional.
If not wearing contact lenses immediately, store in unopened
lens case. Do not store your lenses in saline, as saline will not
disinfect.
You may store your lenses for a maximum of 7 days in the
unopened lens case. If stored longer than 7 days before wear,
you must repeat the cleaning and disinfecting cycle prior to
wearing your lenses.
Contents: 3% hydrogen peroxide with a phosphonic acid
stabilizer, potassium chloride, propylene glycol, carbamide,
poloxamer 181, citrate and phosphate buffers.
Actions: When PeroxiClear is added to the special lens case, the
neutralizing disc causes a distinctive fizzing action, effectively
cleaning, disinfecting, and removing protein from all soft contact
lenses. After four (4) hours the peroxide solution is completely
neutralized into a preservative free saline solution and your
lenses are ready to use.

WARNING: PROBLEMS WITH CONTACT LENSES AND
LENS CARE PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY TO THE EYE.
It is essential that you follow your eye care professional’s
directions and all labeling instructions for proper use and
care of your lenses and lens care products, including the
lens case. Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can
develop rapidly and lead to loss of vision. Daily wear
lenses are not indicated for overnight wear and should not
be worn while sleeping. Clinical studies have shown the
risk of serious adverse reactions is increased when these
lenses are worn overnight. Extended wear lenses should
be regularly removed for cleaning and disinfection or for
disposal and replacement on the schedule prescribed by
your eye care professional. Clinical studies have shown
that there is an increased incidence of serious adverse
reactions in extended wear contact lens users as compared
to daily wear contact lens users. Studies have also shown
that the risk of serious adverse reactions increases the
longer extended wear lenses are worn before removal for
cleaning and disinfection or for disposal and replacement.
Studies have also shown that smokers have a higher
incidence of adverse reactions. If you experience eye
discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness of
the eye, immediately remove your lenses and promptly
contact your eye care professional. It is recommended that
contact lens wearers see their eye care professional twice
each year, or if directed, more frequently.
Failure to discard solution from lens case after each use
or use of water to care for your lenses may lead to
contamination resulting in eye infection, eye injury, and
potential loss of vision.
Important Safety Information:
• Always follow the product directions for use. Failure to
follow product directions may lead to vision loss.
• Always use the enclosed special lens case and
neutralizing disc with PeroxiClear™.
• Do not insert PeroxiClear™ solution, or the lens, directly
into the eye until complete neutralization of the solution
has occurred (minimum 4 hours).
• Do not rinse lenses with PeroxiClear™ solution prior to
inserting lenses into your eyes. If desired, each side of the
lens may be rinsed for 5 seconds (for a total of 10
seconds) with a sterile saline prior to inserting.
• Visit your eye care professional regularly.
• Always wash and dry hands thoroughly before handling
lenses.
• Do not use tap water, bottled water, or saliva with lenses
or lens case.
• Only use fresh solution to clean and disinfect contact
lenses. Do not reuse or “top off” old solution in your lens
case.
• Always discard any remaining solution in your lens case
after each disinfection cycle.
• Saline or rewetting drops will not disinfect your lenses.
• Always replace your solutions, lenses, and lens case as
directed.
• To avoid contamination, do not touch tip of container to
any surface. Replace cap after using.
• Not for use with heat (thermal) disinfection.
Precautions:
• Always discard solution from lens case after each use.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
• Store solution at room temperature. Do not freeze.
• Use before the expiration date marked on the carton and
bottle.
• Discard bottle and lens case 90 days after opening or after
35 uses, whichever occurs first.
• Keep out of reach of children.
Do not mix or substitute other lens care hydrogen peroxide
products or lens cases. Do not use any other disinfection
solutions in the lens case. DO NOT USE OVER-THE-COUNTER
GENERIC HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. Generic hydrogen peroxide
solutions are not intended for ophthalmic use and may contain
ingredients not tested for ocular safety or toxicity. Generic
hydrogen peroxide may contain ingredients that cause
DISCOLORATION OR DAMAGE YOUR CONTACT LENSES.
Adverse Reactions (Problems and What To Do): The
following problems may occur: eyes sting, burn or itch
(irritation), comfort is less than when lens was first placed on
the eye, feeling of something in the eye (foreign body,
scratched area), excessive watering (tearing) of the eye,
unusual eye secretions, redness of the eye, reduced sharpness
of vision (poor visual acuity), blurred vision, rainbows or halos
around objects, sensitivity to light (photophobia), or dry eyes.
If you notice any of the above:
IMMEDIATELY remove your lenses.
• If the discomfort or problem stops, then look closely at the
lens. If the lens is in any way damaged, do not put the lens
back on your eye. Place the lens in the storage case and
contact your eye care professional.
• If the lenses appear to be undamaged, repeat the cleaning
and disinfection process and reinsert them.
• If the lens has dirt, an eyelash, or other foreign body on it, or
the problem stops and the lens appears undamaged, clean
them again by repeating the instructions for usage to
thoroughly clean, rinse, and disinfect the lens.
• If the problem continues, immediately remove the lens and
consult your eye care professional.
If any of the above symptoms occur, a serious condition such as
infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularization or iritis may be
present. Seek immediate professional identification of the
problem and prompt treatment to avoid serious eye damage.
Good Lens Care Hygiene:
• Always wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry your hands before
you handle your lenses.
• Clean, rinse, and disinfect your lenses each time you remove
them.
• Always handle the same lens, the right or the left, first in
order to avoid mix-ups.
• After use, always empty and rinse the lens case with fresh
PeroxiClear and allow to air dry.
