How to care and preserve your contacts lenses

In order to disinfect your contact lenses, almost all systems use hydrogen peroxide, which is then neutralized by the addition of a second chemical. Many older systems required two hours to completely neutralize the peroxide, as well as ensure that the lenses were sterile. Today, there are many systems available that can accomplish the same goal in under five minutes. In addition, these solutions may not require you to rinse the lenses with saline before putting them in your eye.
