Sterile preparations for individualized ophthalmic care

Minnich’s Compounding at The Medicine Shoppe York prepares patient-specific sterile ophthalmic medications pursuant to prescription. Compounding can be useful when a commercially available eye medication is unavailable, requires a different strength, or when a customized preparation is needed for an individual patient.

Specialized sterile preparations

We compound a range of preservative-free ophthalmic preparations and work with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other prescribers on patient-specific needs.

Examples may include:

• Antibiotic ophthalmic preparations

• Antifungal ophthalmic preparations

• Anti-inflammatory preparations

• Customized preservative-free formulations

• Patient-specific strengths and combinations

• Specialty ophthalmic therapies not commercially available in the needed form

Preservative-free options

Some patients require ophthalmic preparations without certain preservatives or commercially available inactive ingredients. When appropriate and prescribed, compounded ophthalmic medications may be prepared preservative-free to meet those patient-specific needs.

Prepared in a sterile compounding environment

Sterile ophthalmic preparations are compounded using procedures designed to support quality, sterility, and consistency. Each prescription is reviewed and prepared according to the specific formulation and storage requirements of that medication.

Shipping and storage

Many ophthalmic preparations require specific storage conditions, including refrigeration or freezing. We provide storage instructions with each prescription and can arrange shipment when appropriate.

For prescribers

We welcome questions from ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye-care professionals regarding formulation options, strengths, availability, and preparation requirements.
