Ophthamology

Have you ever used an eye drop that burned? It could be from the preservative used in the commercial form. Have you seen a favorite product discontinued, because it wasn’t a high dollar, high profile product for a company, and wish you could still find it? Compounding may be a solution.

Ophthalmic prescriptions frequently need to be compounded. Often, this can be simply a formulation made without preservative or it may require a complex formulation to meet a patient's specific needs. The proper selection of the active drug as well as the best suited base can contribute to successful therapy outcomes. Drops, gels and ointments can all influence the length of time the medication stays in the eye. Our pharmacists have over 75 combined years of experience with ophthalmic preparations and are happy to share that experience with you to find a prescription solution.

Commonly compounded ophthalmic prescriptions include medications for infection, poor tear production, surgical procedures and disease diagnosis among others.
