Atropine Eye Drops (Low-Dose For Pediatric Patients)

The strength of eye drops needed for children with myopia is not commercially available. A compounding pharmacist can use the higher-strength commercial product and dilute it for the pediatric patient. This is done only in a sterile compounding lab.

Autologous Serum Eye Drops (ASED)

Autologous serum eye drops are often requested when patients have not had success with various medications for chronic dry eyes. Their own serum is used to make their eye drops.

Fortified Antibiotic Eye Drops

Eye drops are often needed at a higher strength than what is commercially available for certain conditions and therefore, must be prepared by a compounding pharmacy. Often, the alternative to fortified ophthalmic drops is hospitalization and Intravenous infusions. It is important to get these eye drops to the patient very quickly when needed!

Intravitreal injections are used for several types of conditions.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Diabetic retinopathy
Retinal vein occlusion
