Concern in Canada

Hydrogen peroxide confusion has been touched upon before, in the US http://www.opticianonline.net/opticianspace/blogs/the_contact_lens_blog/archive/2012/06/07/clear-care-not-so-clear.aspx, but now it seems the whole of Canada is being warned of the dangers of failure to neutralise properly http://ca.news.yahoo.com/improper-peroxide-based-contact-lens-cleaners-harm-eyes-200806918.html Health Canada has received reports of eye injuries from consumers who have confused hydrogen peroxide-based solutions with other types of solutions and has requested that manufacturers update their packaging to highlight the risk of improper use, as well as providing step-by-step instructions http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2013/28539a-eng.php#you-vous There are a couple of quite obvious suggestions in the update and these are to read the product instructions and follow the advice of your eye care practitioner. It may not be enough to halt the odd lapse in concentration but if you put your un-neutralised lens in your eye once, you are unlikely to repeat the experience, such is the pain. It also seems manufacturers are acting and updating their packaging as well.
