How to Use a Hydrogen Peroxide Neutralization Cup Safely

Quick answer

Use the neutralization cup only with its matching hydrogen peroxide care solution: fill, load the lens holder, close, and let the full neutralization time pass before wearing the lenses. Never rinse the lenses with the peroxide solution or top up a partly used cup.

Peroxide lens care steps with a neutralization cup

1. Wash and dry your hands: Wash with soap and water, then dry with a lint-free towel before touching lenses or the cup. A wet or soapy finger can transfer residue into the cup.
2. Place each lens in the correct holder: Open the cup and set the right and left lenses into their marked baskets, checking that each lens sits flat and is not folded. A folded lens can be pinched or torn when the basket closes.
3. Fill only to the marked line with the matching solution: Pour the hydrogen peroxide care solution into the cup up to the fill line, then close the cap and tighten it. Do not top up a partly filled cup from a previous cycle.
4. Let the full neutralization time pass: Leave the closed cup upright and undisturbed for the time stated on the solution label, typically overnight. Do not open the cup early to check the lenses.
5. Remove, rinse, and insert: Open the cup only after the full cycle, lift each lens from its basket, and insert directly according to your fitter’s instructions. If the lens still stings, discard it and start a fresh cycle rather than rinsing with peroxide.
6. Empty, rinse, and air-dry the cup: Pour out any remaining solution, rinse the cup and baskets with fresh solution or sterile saline as directed, and leave the cup open and upside down to air-dry. Never use tap water on the cup or lenses.
