Cleaning contact lenses incorrectly could have negative consequences for your health and vision.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns consumers to be cautious when caring for their contact lenses. This is particularly important when using contact solution that contains hydrogen peroxide.

Contact solutions that contain hydrogen peroxide are free of preservatives, making them a good option for people with allergies or sensitivities to preservatives in other contact solutions. However, hydrogen peroxide solutions are not risk-free.

Everything you need to look out for when buying medications online
Posted by LizGH on Sunday, April 7, 2019

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. This saying holds true for illegal online pharmacies.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) warn consumers to be cautious when surfing the Internet — especially when purchasing medications.

Your local pharmacist's website is not the same as the unknown and unverified websites the FDA and NABP are warning consumers about. That means there's no concern with engaging with your local pharmacist on his or her pharmacy website.
