Disinfectant products are being amassed by this manufacturer following consumer complaints.
In a recent development, DISOP, S.A., a well-known manufacturer, has announced a recall of several batches of its 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution for Contact Lens Disinfection. This decision comes in response to user complaints and potential malfunctions of the neutralizing tablets in the system.
The recall is due to reports of symptoms such as burning, redness, itching, inflammation, hyperemia, blurred vision, and pain. These symptoms suggest that the disinfecting solution may not be fully neutralized, leading to eye discomfort.
It is essential to note that no serious incidents with permanent eye injuries have been registered in relation to this recall. However, if users experience any symptoms, they are urged to contact an eye care professional as soon as possible.
The recommended actions in such a scenario are immediate. Users should remove the contact lenses from their eyes, rinse them thoroughly with clean saline or water (if saline is not available), and refrain from reinserting the lenses until the peroxide is fully neutralized. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is crucial to seek urgent medical attention from an eye care professional to prevent serious eye damage.
This recall is a result of the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution's reliance on a neutralizing tablet or catalyst to convert peroxide into water and oxygen. Failure in this step leaves residual peroxide that is highly irritating and potentially harmful to the eye.
DISOP, S.A. advises users of the affected batches/marks to immediately stop using the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution for Contact Lens Disinfection. Users should keep the packaging used for the return of the product and contact the establishment where it was purchased for the return process.
In Portugal, Infarmed, the National Authority of Medicines and Health Products, has not reported any serious incidents with permanent eye injuries related to the recall.
For users experiencing symptoms, it is recommended to rinse their eyes with an abundant amount of physiological saline or sterilized artificial tears.
Users are reminded to follow manufacturer instructions carefully and verify neutralization before use to ensure the safety and comfort of their eyes.
- The symptoms, including burning, redness, itching, inflammation, hyperemia, blurred vision, and pain, reported by users, indicate that the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution for Eye-Health, a product used for Contact Lens Disinfection manufactured by DISOP, S.A., may not be fully neutralized, potentially leading to medical-conditions related to eye-health.
- Given the recall of several batches of the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution for Contact Lens Disinfection due to the potential risk of medical-conditions, it is essential for users to rinse their eyes with physiological saline or sterilized artificial tears if they experience any symptoms and seek urgent medical attention from an eye care professional, following the health-and-wellness advice provided.
