A comparison of new hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems.
A comparison of seven hydrogen peroxide systems for disinfection of contact lenses is presented. Each system differs by the manner in which the remaining peroxide is neutralized after disinfection. These differences are reflected in the total time required by each system, the resulting pH, unreacted peroxide and residual products. The flexibility and potential risks of each system are also discussed.
