Patient satisfaction with a novel one-step hydrogen peroxide solution.

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology and Optometry
• Biomaterials Science

Background:

• Soft contact lens wear requires daily cleaning and disinfection to maintain ocular health and lens performance.
• Hydrogen peroxide-based solutions are a common method for disinfecting soft contact lenses, offering effective microbial killing.
• Patient satisfaction with contact lens care regimens is crucial for compliance and continued wear.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the product performance of a novel one-step hydrogen peroxide cleaning and disinfecting solution, PeroxiClear.
• To assess patient preference for PeroxiClear compared to habitual contact lens cleaning solutions among soft contact lens users.

Main Methods:

• A 2-week, open-label, bilateral eye study involving 297 habitual users of peroxide regimens for soft contact lenses.
• Subjects used the PeroxiClear solution for 7 days.
• Patient preference was assessed via an online survey focusing on overall satisfaction, comfort, moisture, cleanness, and vision clarity.

Main Results:

• A significantly higher proportion of respondents (85.9%) found the PeroxiClear solution to be better overall than their habitual solution.
• High preference rates were reported for PeroxiClear in specific attributes: comfort (85.4%), moistness (90.0%), cleanness (91.6%), and clarity of vision (85.8%).
• The study demonstrated a strong patient preference for the novel hydrogen peroxide solution.

Conclusions:

• The novel one-step hydrogen peroxide solution, PeroxiClear, shows high patient satisfaction and preference.
• Patients preferred PeroxiClear over their habitual solutions, especially regarding comfort, moisture, and lens cleanness.
• The findings support PeroxiClear as an effective and preferred option for soft contact lens care.
