If you wear contact lenses, the way you clean them can affect your vision and health. |
Following instructions and taking note of product warnings is especially important if you use a solution that contains hydrogen peroxide. Here is advice from the FDA. |
Before you choose a contact lens solution, talk to your eye-care provider about the best cleaning and disinfecting method for you. For instance, contact lens multipurpose solutions clean, disinfect, and condition contact lenses. Other lens cleaning products contain hydrogen peroxide, which requires special care for saf... |
Contact lens solutions are sold over the counter, which means that you don’t need a prescription. “But over-the-counter products are not all the same,” says Bernard P. Lepri, O.D., M.S., M.Ed., an FDA optometrist in the agency’s Contact Lens and Retinal Devices Branch. |
Incorrect care of contacts can increase your risk of eye infections and injury—and can cause blindness in rare cases, Lepri adds. |
Like multipurpose solutions, when hydrogen peroxide is used in certain contact lens solutions, it helps to clean and disinfect contact lenses by breaking up and removing trapped debris, protein, and fatty deposits. |
Hydrogen peroxide solutions are preservative-free, which makes them a good option for those who are allergic or sensitive to preservatives in multipurpose solutions. But they are not risk-free. |
Before you use solution with hydrogen peroxide, read all warning labels and instructions. Also note that the tip of the bottle is red. The red coloring is a reminder that these products require special handling. |
“You should never put hydrogen peroxide directly into your eyes or on your contact lenses,” Lepri says. That’s because this kind of solution can cause stinging, burning, and damage—specifically to your cornea (the clear surface that covers your eye). |
If you use a solution that has hydrogen peroxide you absolutely must follow the disinfecting process with a “neutralizer.” A neutralizer is always sold as part of your hydrogen peroxide cleaning solution kit. It turns the peroxide into water and oxygen, making it safe to put lenses into your eyes. |
Neutralization can be either a one-step or two-step process. The one-step process neutralizes your lenses during the disinfecting stage, while the two-step process neutralizes your lenses after the disinfecting stage. |
Some storage cases have a neutralizer built-in, making it a one-step process. With others, you must add a neutralizing tablet that comes with the hydrogen peroxide solution. This is the two-step process. |
The FDA encourages healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and consumers to submit voluntary reports of problems with medical products to MedWatch, FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program. |
The FDA’s Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulation provides mandatory requirements for manufacturers, importers, and device user facilities to report certain device-related adverse events and product problems to FDA. |
When it comes to solutions with hydrogen peroxide, consumers have reported adverse events (unwanted experiences) like burning and stinging to the FDA, most often because they failed to read and follow directions for use. |
The FDA has received 73 medical device reports about hydrogen peroxide contact lens solutions since 2010. But the FDA received only 12 of these reports since 2012, after which many members of industry updated their product labeling with more visible warnings. These enhanced warnings included red boxes as a background f... |
“Using any product without following instructions is a safety risk,” Lepri notes. |
So remember to follow all product directions. Contact your eye-care provider if you have questions or concerns. And, if you have any adverse reactions or problems with these products, report them to FDA’s MedWatch Program. |
Talk to your eye-care provider before deciding on the best cleaning and disinfecting method for your contact lenses. Never change your lens-care system before consulting your provider. |
Before you use a new solution, read all instructions on the box and bottle and follow them carefully. If you have questions, stop and contact your eye-care provider. |
Never share solution that contains hydrogen peroxide. Other people might confuse your solution with multipurpose solution and not follow instructions. This could result in damage to their eyes. |
Leave contacts in the solution for at least 6 hours to allow the neutralizing process to finish. |
Never rinse your contact lenses with hydrogen peroxide solutions or put these solutions in your eyes. |
Report any eye problems with your contacts or solution to the FDA’s MedWatch voluntary reporting program. |
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance at the Centre may fall nearly 15 seats short of the magic mark of 272 in the 543-seat Lok Sabha, if elections are held now, says the India TV-CNX opinion poll. |
According to the survey, conducted between December 15-25 at the fag end of last year in all 543 parliamentary constituencies, the NDA may get 257 seats and the Congress-led UPA (minus SP and BSP) may get 146 seats, far off the magic mark. |
The survey was done after the results of assembly polls in five states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh where Congress has formed governments. |
The survey said on Saturday that key to government formation could lie in the hands of 'others' who may get 140 seats in a House of 543. |
'Others' include Samajwadi Party, BSP, AIADMK, Trinamool Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Biju Janata Dal, YSR Congress Party, Left Front, PDP of Mehbooba Mufti, AIUDF of Badruddin Ajmal, AIMIM of Asaduddin Owaisi, INLD, Aam Aadmi Party, JVM(P), AMMK of Tamil Nadu and independent MPs. |
NDA includes the ruling BJP, Shiv Sena, Akali Dal, JD(U), Mizo National Front, Apna Dal, Sikkim Democratic Front, LJP of Ramvilas Paswan, NPP of Meghalaya, INRC of Puducherry, PMK and NDPP of Nagaland. |
An India TV release said that UPA includes the main opposition Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, DMK, TDP, Sharad Pawar's NCP, Devegowda's JD(S), Ajit Singh's RLD, National Conference, RSP, JMM, IUML, Kerala Congress (Mani) and RLSP. |
The earlier nationwide survey conducted by India TV-CNX in November, before the assembly polls, had given NDA a clear majority with 281 seats, UPA 124, and 'Others' 138. Since then there has been a reduction of 24 seats in NDA and an addition of 22 seats in UPA, says the survey. |
The survey says that NDA could get 37.15 per cent votes, UPA 29.92 per cent and 'others' 32.93 per cent. |
Within the NDA, BJP may win 223 seats, Shiv Sena 8, JD(U) 11, Akali Dal 5, LJP 3, PMK 1, NDPP 1, AINRC 1, NPP 1, SDF 1, Apna Dal 1, and MNF 1. |
The survey said that Congress may win 85 seats (almost double that it won in 2014), DMK 21, Lalu Prasad's RJD 10, NCP 9, JMM 4, JD(S) 4, RLD 2, RLSP 1, RSP 1, IUML 2, TDP 4, JK National Conference 2, and Kerala Congress (M) 1. |
Among 'others', Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress could get 26 seats, Samajwadi Party 20, Mayawati's BSP 15, YSR Congress 19, Telangana Rashtra Samithi 16, Biju Janata Dal 13, AIADMK 10, AMMK 4, Left Front 8, Aam Aadmi Party 2, AIUDF 2, PDP 1, JVM (P) 1 and AIMIM 1. |
State wise break up of seat prediction is: Uttar Pradesh: BJP 40, BSP 15, SP 20, Congress 2, RLD 2, Apna Dal 1; Uttarakhand: BJP 4, Congress 1; Rajasthan: BJP 15, Congress 10; West Bengal: Trinamool Congress 26, BJP 10, Congress 2, Left Front 4; Odisha: Biju Janata Dal 13, BJP 8; Madhya Pradesh: BJP 18, Congress 11; Ch... |

It's not easy living in an iconic piece of San Francisco film history. |
Just ask Hanna Suleiman and his wife, Sandy, who, after 23 years, have had their fill of being a tourist attraction and are putting up a wall in front of the Lombard Street house where Jimmy Stewart's character lived in Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 thriller, "Vertigo." |
To hear the Suleimans tell it, they've put up with tourists ringing their door bell, strangers picnicking on their fence and others tossing garbage into their yard. |
If that weren't enough, they now have the constant racket of kids playing at the reopened Yick Wo Elementary School across the street. |
"The noise starts at 8:30 in the morning and goes at least until 5:30 nonstop," Hanna Suleiman said. "We can't even open our windows or door, or watch TV." |
In addition to the 6-foot wall across much of the front, the house has a new entryway, and the Suleimans have put stucco over the brick chimney. |
The changes, however, are not sitting well with film buffs - one of whom grumbled, as he walked past the construction site, "They've ruined it." |
The Suleimans counter that their sanity was at stake. And their adult son, Sasha, who oversaw the design work, insists that when the job is completed, "the house will retain the same feel." |
"I took the changes seriously," he said. "But this isn't historic value - it's pop culture history." |
The Planning Department flagged the house for review as "a potential historic resource" - based partly on its age (over 60) and partly because of its big movie moment. |
However, records show a department planner waived a full historic or environmental review. That was based on the Suleimans' description of the job as a $15,000 "replacement of property line fence in place with new stucco facing and new wood gate," plus the entryway alteration. |
Tim Frye, the agency's preservation coordinator, said the planner had concluded that the job wouldn't cause any "material impairment." |
"If it exceeded the scope of work, there will be an enforcement issue," he said. |
The Suleimans, however, say they have done everything by the book. |
"The bottom line," said Hanna Suleiman, "is it's our house, we paid for it, we maintain it and we want to enjoy it." |
What I meant was ...: The attorney for 22-year-old Gregory Graniss, who was allegedly caught on camera smashing the windshield of a Muni bus during the post-World Series celebrations in San Francisco, says his client wasn't talking out of both sides of his mouth when he publicly took responsibility for his action - the... |
"Gregory is very sorry and absolutely willing to take responsibility for the bus' window," said attorney Douglas Rappaport. "But he's also being charged with intentionally attempting to hurt people on that bus, and on that charge he is 100 percent innocent." |
And it's no small matter. The "intent to cause harm" charge carries a sentence of up to three years in state prison. |
Kid power: Fresh from his Proposition 39 win to close a $1 billion corporate tax loophole, San Francisco do-gooder and investment banker Tom Steyer has teamed with his brother Jim and others on a national TV campaign to press for more government funding for children's programs. |
Tom Steyer has pledged $15 million to the Center for the Next Generation and its "Too Small to Fail" campaign. |
Matt James, president of the nonprofit advocacy group founded by Steyer and his older brother, says the idea is to push issues such as education and childhood hunger further up a congressional spending list that is dominated by programs for seniors and the military. |
Ground attack: Some of the ground game that was used to help re-elect San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar will now be turned to helping win support for President Obama's tax plan. |
Nicole Derse, who managed Mar's campaign, has signed on with Team Obama to put pressure on California's House members to stand behind whatever plan the president ultimately picks. |
That means enlisting Obama backers to organize rallies and phone banks in key members' districts, Derse said. |
Reid's reply: If you take a shot at someone in politics, you'd better take 'em out - because they will never forget. |
And that's pretty much where things stand between Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and City Council President Larry Reid. |
Quan's Block by Block organization ran a slate of council candidates in the Nov. 6 election, including a candidate against Reid, one of the mayor's most vocal critics. |
Reid won, and he's not ready to forgive or forget. |
"The mayor can't count on me for anything," he said. |

Written evidence of weightlifting for sport and as a means of measuring physical prowess dates back 5,000 years, when prospective Chinese soldiers had to engage in lifting. Weightlifting remains a means of testing strength and a form of sport. Through modern technology, we understand the effects weightlifting has on th... |
As you engage in weightlifting, muscle fibers are injured. When exercise-induced injury occurs, the body responds by activating satellite cells. These cells are on the outside of muscle fibers. The essay “How Do Muscles Grow?” published by the University of New Mexico states that once satellite cells are activated, the... |
As muscles hypertrophy, or gain mass, so does their load bearing capabilities. While hypertrophy plays a role in strength gains, a study published in “American Journal of Physical Medicine” states neural factors determine initial strength gains. The term “neural factors” refers to the body’s ability to better activate ... |

The task of saving California's old-growth forest has always been such a contentious issue, that leaders of both major parties have historically shied away. |
However, in light of the recently released United Nations report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the stakes, like our seas, have risen significantly. The time has come for spirited debate to end and decisive action to begin. |
We the citizens of the global community support the idea of carbon sequestration through protection of California's last remaining old-growth forests, consider it to be an excellent first step in the quest for global climate stabilization, and do hereby call upon our leaders to begin implementation of such a program. |

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - A lawsuit filed in Charleston Monday says an Uber driver seriously injured a pedestrian in a downtown Charleston crash in 2018. |
Jeffrey Gaetke is suing Uber saying the driver of the car was working as a driver for the company at the time of the crash, which happened on February 16, 2018. |
The lawsuit states that the Uber driver was driving a Honda while Gaetke was walking in a crosswalk on Meeting Street in downtown Charleston. He claims the driver made a left turn from Horlbeck Alley onto Meeting Street and crashed into him. |
Among the injuries Gaetke details in the lawsuit include a dislocated right shoulder, an operation with three screws placed into his arm, a broken right arm and he allegedly lost consciousness at the scene of the crash. |
The lawsuit claims the driver, a Goose Creek man, was driving too fast for conditions and was reckless and negligent in operating his car. |
Gaetke is asking for actual and punitive damages and also claim his medical bills may reach upward of $80,000. |
The lawsuit is the second filed in Charleston County since the beginning of 2019 against the rideshare company. The estate of a Mount Pleasant woman killed in a 2017 auto-pedestrian crash also claimed an Uber driver was behind the wheel. |
