Peroxides are powerful hydrogen peroxide-based lens solutions that clean and disinfect your contact lenses extremely thoroughly. They kill bacteria and remove proteins without the use of preservatives. Its great advantage is that it is perfect for sensitive eyes and ensures maximum daily comfort.
SMEYEL is a newly established Dutch company with nearly 30 years’ experience in the Dutch and Belgian optical market. Since 1 June 2023, it has been the exclusive distributor of AVIZOR products in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The best peroxides for you depend on the type of lens you wear. For standard lenses, a system with rapid enzyme tablets is ideal. Do you wear large, oxygen-permeable lenses? Then choose special sclera peroxides with an extra roomy storage case.
It is important to look closely at your own routine and requirements. The latest systems offer great convenience and work in as little as two hours. Do you have very sensitive eyes? Then by switching to these preservative-free products, you really will experience a huge difference in daily comfort right away.
Peroxides work through a powerful, effervescent chemical reaction. The aggressive hydrogen peroxide kills all harmful bacteria and fungus on the material. At the same time, an added tablet breaks down the liquid into harmless water and oxygen, so you can safely wear the lenses again.
These effervescent bubbles scrub your lenses clean, so to speak, without having to get your fingers dirty yourself. The process is completely automatic in the small sealed container. Because it dissolves fats so effectively, your lens feels like brand new every morning.
Peroxides are perfect for sensitive eyes as they are 100 per cent free from preservatives. Many people eventually develop allergic reactions, itching or red eyes from additives in standard lens solutions. A hydrogen peroxide system completely prevents this and guarantees an extremely gentle experience.
Nowadays, many standard bottles contain a small chemical preservative to keep the contents fresh for a long time. For fragile eyes, this is pure irritation. After neutralising this peroxide system, all that remains is a physiologically salty and soothing solution. Your eyes are thus finally properly calmed.
Many modern peroxides, such as the popular Ever Clean Plus line in our range, work with special enzyme tablets. You manually add this small, innovative tablet to the liquid in your high storage container. As soon as the tablet hits liquid and dissolves, super-powerful deep cleansing begins immediately. These enzymes break down tough lipids and proteins much faster than traditional, viscous liquids.
This is especially a tremendous help for people whose lenses cloud up at lightning speed during the day due to protein deposits. You simply place them in the basket provided and the system does all the hard work. Afterwards, you are left with a perfectly clean lens. Daily rubbing in the palm of your hand is no longer necessary with these specific systems.
The exact neutralisation time of peroxides varies greatly by brand, but often takes as little as two hours in our advanced systems with tablets. Older, classic systems with a platinum disc often need another six hours. Therefore, always check the instructions on the packaging.
Absolutely never take out your clean lenses before this chemical process is 100 per cent complete. For the products with enzyme tablets, the liquid automatically turns a safe light green when it is completely finished. This handy visual aid gives you the ultimate assurance of safe insertion.
Scleral lenses are quite a bit wider and convex than standard contact lenses. They therefore logically require a very specific approach. Standard, narrow lens trays are simply far too small for these oxygen-permeable lenses, so the edges are easily damaged. This is why we proudly offer the special Ever Clean Scleral system.
With this, you will receive an extra large, wide lens case in which the scleral lenses fit perfectly without pinching. The effervescent and active peroxides can flow unobstructed around the entire lens in this spacious container. This guarantees complete disinfection on the bulge. It prevents dead zones where stubborn dirt can remain unnoticed. So you always keep your precious hard lenses safe and in absolute top condition.
No, you should absolutely never, ever drip peroxides directly into your eyes. Unneutralised hydrogen peroxide is very aggressive and immediately causes an extremely painful, nasty chemical burn on your cornea. This is the most important safety rule when using these agents.
If you often suffer from dry, tired eyes mid-day due to screen work, this product is not suitable. For necessary hydration during the day, always use only safe, moisturising and emollient products that you keep in your bag.
When choosing your daily lens solution, it is very important to clearly understand the fundamental differences. A standard all-in-one bottle is easy because it allows you to clean, rinse and store almost instantly in one simple operation. However, its major disadvantage is that it contains irritating preservatives.
Peroxides, on the other hand, work completely differently. They clean many times more intensively and tackle invisible bacteria mercilessly in the box. They do require you to follow the fixed neutralisation time very strictly and consistently. For lens wearers who demand the very highest level of hygiene and don't want to be bothered by anything, the final switch to this powerful system is often a huge, daily liberation.
With peroxides, you absolutely always need a special storage container to successfully and safely neutralise the liquid. If you accidentally use a flat, standard lens container, the dangerous peroxide will simply not be broken down into water. This is very harmful.
Also, an ordinary, flat, airtight box can explode just like that in your bathroom cabinet due to the built-up gas pressure. Therefore, only use the tall basket boxes with the ventilation holes in the cap. Throw the old box away immediately with a new bottle.
When you clean your contact lenses daily with peroxides, quite a few litres of liquid go through in a year. Because good and strict eye care should remain easily affordable for everyone, we offer very smart quarterly packs and large monthly packs. This way, you instantly have the right amount of large bottles, fresh enzyme tablets and clean accessories for the coming season.
We also have compact, cheerful travel packs available for travelling or on your faraway holiday. These safe, small sets can go straight into the plane's transparent hand luggage without any problems.

The biggest and most important difference is in the precise chemical composition and the actual method of cleaning. Ordinary, all-in-one lens solutions are easy and very quick to use. However, they always contain synthetic preservatives to keep the bottle shelf life in the shop for a long time. These preservatives can cause nasty irritations on your cornea when used daily. Peroxides, on the other hand, work purely on the basis of active hydrogen peroxide. This offers a much more aggressive, effervescent and therefore much deeper cleaning against stubborn bacteria and oily proteins. It kills off virtually all disease-causing agents incredibly effectively in the storage box. The downside, however, is that you really should never get this liquid directly into your delicate eyes. This is because the peroxide must always first be completely broken down into harmless water by means of a special enzyme tablet or a metal disc. This process takes a little longer.
No, if you use the modern peroxides from our shop in the correct, prescribed way, they will not hurt your eyes at all. In fact, almost all people find lenses that have been perfectly cleaned with this system actually feel much softer and more pleasant than before. Since there are no irritating preservatives in the liquid at all, you won't experience any chemical burning during the day at all. However, things do go very wrong when you don't wait long enough for the neutralisation process. If you sneak the innocent lens out of the liquid before this chemical reaction is completely safely finished, there is still highly active hydrogen peroxide on the plastic material. If this stuff comes into direct contact with your sensitive cornea, it immediately causes a tremendously sharp, stinging and fierce pain. So always wait very neatly for the minimum hours.
In the case of the highly advanced systems in our wide range, such as those with the innovative enzyme tablets, this is fortunately incredibly easy to see with the naked eye. This is because these special and handy tablets contain a very clear, visual indicator for your safety. As soon as you smoothly drop the tablet into the hydrogen peroxide, the liquid immediately starts to fizz very firmly in the basket. After exactly two hours of waiting, when the entire cleaning process is completely one hundred per cent safe, the liquid in the transparent box automatically turns very light green. This cheerful green colour is the clear, unmistakable sign that your clean lens is completely neutral and absolutely safe to reinsert smoothly into your eye. Do you use a slightly older system with a built-in platinum disc? Then you simply have to keep a close eye on the exact six o'clock clock yourself.
Yes, the advanced peroxides and smart tablets in our webshop really do work extremely well for both soft and form-fixed contact lenses. It is an extremely powerful and remarkably universal method of effective disinfection. Extremely soft lenses, including the very popular silicone hydrogel varieties, become beautifully hygienically clean without drying out or irreparably damaging the thin and flexible material. This method is also very popular worldwide for classic form-fixed lenses, convenient night lenses or specially fitted large scleral lenses. Deformable lenses in general suffer somewhat more often from tough, oily lipids that stick to the entire smooth lens surface. The brisk effervescent action of the hydrogen peroxide effortlessly loosens this dirt in a short time. Just make sure you always order exactly the right size lens case so that the effervescent liquid can really circulate well and unhindered along your complete, round lens.
Preservatives are simple chemicals that many manufacturers add en masse to make bottles of liquid last for years and effectively inhibit bacterial growth. This is very easy, of course, but the human eye very often does not respond well to these in practice. It directly disrupts the subtle tear film and can cause superficial light damage to the delicate cornea. With peroxides, the addition of such a heavy preservative is simply not necessary at all. This is because the hugely active hydrogen peroxide is itself already the most powerful and aggressive killer of all bacteria imaginable. So in the sealed bottle, any nasty fungus or dirt already has no chance at all to survive or grow. This allows the amazing product to be produced completely pure, extremely natural and completely free of nasty medical additives.
One of the truly greatest, time-saving advantages of the advanced peroxides in our online range is the incredibly convenient no-rub principle. With many of these complete systems, such as the popular Ever Clean Plus, daily manual rubbing of your fragile lenses has become completely unnecessary in the bathroom. The effervescent active enzymes in the special white tablets are so incredibly powerful that they simply break down stubborn fats and nasty proteins completely on their own. They instantly dissolve the weekly dirt smoothly, well before the dirt even has a chance to cake rock hard to your smooth lens. Not only does this save you a lot of precious time in the evening, but it also immediately prevents nail cracks in the thin, plastic material. You simply place the lenses quietly in the basket, add the bottle and tablet, and the perfect cleaning starts automatically.
Like almost all other major medical care products for your eyes, peroxides have a very tight and strict expiry date after first opening. Most large bottles of hydrogen peroxide are good and 100 per cent safe to use for a maximum of three full months after deliberately breaking the closing plastic seal. After this stipulated ninety days, the powerful disinfecting effect of the chemical liquid in the cabinet imperceptibly diminishes very quickly. The respected manufacturer can then stupidly no longer guarantee the killing effect against nasty parasites and solid bacteria to you with certainty. It is therefore incredibly essential to take this specific expiry date very seriously. As soon as you open it, grab a good waterproof marker and write the date very large on the wide label. Always dispose of expired bottles safely in the trash immediately.
The innovative, small enzyme tablets are generally the absolute beating heart of our most successful and popular hydrogen peroxide systems. This is because they directly perform two very essential medical tasks simultaneously during the cleaning process. First, the outer layer contains powerful proteolytic enzymes. These incredibly clever enzymes search very specifically for mucin and fats on the material surface. They break down this tough contamination into microscopic pieces at lightning speed, ensuring unsurpassed cleaning. Secondly, the inner layer of the exact same tablet contains the extremely crucial substances to break down the solid hydrogen peroxide into harmless water and plenty of oxygen. Without the timely reaction of this little tablet, the remaining liquid would remain hugely painful and downright very dangerous to your healthy eyes. It ensures optimal, comfortable and safe insertion of your lenses in the morning in record time.
No, you should absolutely never, ever replace the tall, special storage case of your peroxides at home with a normal, narrow, flat lens case. This is a life-threatening error of judgement. In fact, a powerful peroxide system always comes with a specific, tall, transparent container with very small ventilation holes in the plastic cap. This is because during the successful breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide, a lot of free oxygen gas is created inside the liquid. This pressurised, built-up gas must of course be able to escape safely through the airy cap immediately. Do you trap the strong liquid in a standard, flat container that is airtight and tightly tightened? Then the pressure builds up rapidly, which very quickly results in your container dangerously exploding on the sink. Therefore, only use the safe basket box supplied from the box.
Despite very clear warnings on the packaging, the best sometimes happens in an inattentive and chaotic moment in the morning. If pure, un-neutralised peroxides unexpectedly come into direct contact with your fragile eye, you will immediately experience a fierce stabbing pain and your eye will turn teary red. In this unpleasant situation, absolutely do not panic in the extreme, but act very immediately and quickly. As quickly as possible, pull the lens firmly out of your painful eye with your clean fingers. Immediately run towards the nearest bathroom tap and flush your eyelid extremely generously with a gentle stream of lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. This frequent and rapid rinsing will dilute the dangerous chemicals considerably. After the long flush, always contact your doctor or emergency room immediately for a thorough check-up.
