Custom Compounded Medications for Eye Care
Eye medications do not always come in the strength, form, or quantity a patient needs. Some patients also need a preparation without certain inactive ingredients or preservatives.
Prescription Compounds prepares customized ophthalmic medications for patients throughout Louisiana. We work with ophthalmologists, optometrists, surgeons, hospitals, clinics, and other eye-care professionals to prepare each medication according to the prescription.
Why Ophthalmology Compounding Matters
Standard eye medications can be limiting. The needed concentration may not be available, the dosage form may not fit the prescription, or a product may be in short supply or discontinued.
Ophthalmic compounding gives prescribers more flexibility with concentration, dosage form, and ingredient combination while keeping the medication specific to the patient.
How Eye Medications Can Be Customized
Customized Concentrations
Eye medications can be prepared in concentrations that are not commercially available.
Preservative-Free Options
Certain ophthalmic medications can be prepared without preservatives.
Ingredient Combination
Formulations can combine prescribed ingredients in one ophthalmic preparation when appropriate.
Available Ophthalmic Dosage Forms
Compounded ophthalmic medications may be prepared as:
- Sterile eye drops
- Preservative-free preparations
- Customized concentrations
- Other ophthalmic forms as prescribed
When Compounding May Help
Ophthalmic compounding can help when:
- The required concentration is not available
- A different dosage form is needed
- Certain inactive ingredients need to be avoided
- A preservative-free preparation is requested
- A specific quantity or package size is needed
- A medication is unavailable or discontinued
Customized ophthalmic medications may be used in corneal care, dry-eye management, glaucoma care, eye infections, ocular inflammation, pediatric ophthalmology, retina care, post-procedure care, and specialty lens-related care.
Patient-Specific Eye Care
Each ophthalmic prescription is reviewed for concentration, dosage form, ingredients, packaging, storage, and beyond-use dating.
Patients receive instructions for use and storage. Eye-drop users should avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye, eyelid, fingers, or other surfaces.
