The u.S.National library of medicine toxicology data network (toxnet) describes the scope of injury associated with hydrogen peroxide exposure to the ocular tissue, ¿hydrogen peroxide is irritating to the eyes with a burning sensation, conjunctival hyperemia, lacrimation and severe pain which resolves within a few hours.There are rare cases of temporary corneal injury resulting from the application of 3% solution to the eye on contact lenses including punctate staining of the cornea, decreased vision, corneal opacity and edema.¿ the symptom reported is consistent with the toxnet description of a temporary condition associated with hydrogen peroxide exposure.Note that this event is being retrospectively reported to fda due to the result of a remediation activity.
