Ophthalmic Compounding

As a specialist in the identification, treatment, and prevention of issues pertaining to human eyes, it is no secret that commercially available medications do not always offer the breadth and depth of what is needed to diagnose and treat patients. Ophthalmic compounds are prescribed for patient use at home and for in-office diagnostics and procedures. Our customer service team will work with your institution, you and your patients to ensure prescriptions are compounded and shipped in a timely manner. At VLS Pharmacy, we can compound to treat conditions including:

Cataracts
Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Chronic dry eye
Fungal eye infections
Glaucoma
Macular degeneration

Ophthalmic compounding requires specialized equipment and a sterile environment (as mandated by USP for the preparation of all eye medications). This niche area of expertise allows us to supply adult and pediatric patients with ophthalmic compounds whether in a hospital/surgical setting, in the office or at home. Our compounding pharmacists are skilled in advanced aseptic techniques and all compounds have been independently tested by third party facilities. Our multi-state licensure and efficient turnaround times allow you to predictably plan patient protocols.

Ophthalmic Compounding & Your Patients

OTC and even commercially available prescription products may not be appropriate to treat your patients’ eye conditions. Eyes are very sensitive, and individuals may be allergic to or have issues with preservatives in common medications. Thanks to ophthalmic compounding, we can prepare the medication without the preservative. Additionally, if an FDA-approved product is on backorder or discontinued, we can create a reliable replacement medication for you and your patients. Ultimately, treatment and recovery may improve thanks to the individualized strengths and dosages made possible with ophthalmic compounding.
