I am an expert in this field. With all due respect, the poskim seem to have been given inaccurate information. Cleaning contact lenses (hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, rigid gas permeable, etc..) is no different than cleaning a dish with dishwashing liquid. If that is permitted, cleaning a contact lens with a multipurpose solution is also permitted. Hydrogen peroxide is no different in this aspect. However, neutralizing hydrogen peroxide is a separate question which raises some interesting halachic issues (nolad, for example).
