Ophthalmic Compounding
Custom Compounded Eye Drops & Sterile Ophthalmic Solutions
At Town Total Compounding Center, we provide custom ophthalmic compounding to support patients with a wide range of eye conditions. Working closely with prescribers, our team prepares sterile compounded eye drops and ophthalmic medications tailored to individual needs, including specific strengths, preservative-free options, and combination therapies.
Because commercially available medications may not always meet every patient’s needs, compounding allows for a more personalized approach to eye care, ocular health, and treatment support.
What Is Ophthalmic Compounding?
Ophthalmic compounding is the process of preparing customized medications for the eyes based on a prescriber’s direction. These medications are created in a controlled environment to meet strict sterility standards due to the sensitivity of ocular tissues.
Compounded ophthalmic medications may be considered when:
A specific dosage or strength is not commercially available
A patient requires preservative-free eye drops
Multiple medications need to be combined into one formulation
A medication is unavailable, discontinued, or on backorder
A patient has sensitivities to standard ingredients
This approach helps ensure medications are tailored to the individual rather than relying solely on one-size-fits-all options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a compounded eye medication is right for me?
The best way to determine if a compounded ophthalmic medication is appropriate is through a conversation with your eye care provider. If you have not found success with standard treatments, have sensitivities to certain ingredients, or require a more tailored approach, your provider may recommend a compounded option based on your specific needs.
What should I expect when using compounded eye drops for the first time?
Compounded eye drops are designed to match your prescription, so your experience may differ slightly from over-the-counter or commercial products. Your pharmacist will provide clear instructions for use, storage, and handling, and is available to answer questions to help you feel confident in your treatment plan.
