Few things are more important to a person than their vision. SandsRx Pharmacy will work with your Physician to make sure you get the highest quality of care.
Common Eye Conditions
Ophthalmologists and Optometrists specialize in the prevention, detection, and treatment of conditions and diseases of your eyes, tear ducts, and eyelids. Your physician will prescribe various medications to treat conditions such as:
-
- Dry Eyes
- Fungal Eye Infections
- Cataracts
- Conjunctivitis
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Styes
- Macular Degeneration
Why Choose SandsRx as your Ophthalmic Pharmacy?
Many physicians and patients choose compounding pharmacies to provide custom compounded medications for different medical conditions. However, compounding Ophthalmic medications are less common. This is because state and federal regulations require pharmacies to use specialized equipment and extreme sterile environments to prepare compounded eye medications. Therefore, there are fewer Ophthalmology compounding pharmacies than for other types of specialties. It is critical that you choose a pharmacy like SandsRx that has the operational expertise and experience to provide you with the highest quality sterile compound. A Board-Certified Compounding Sterile Pharmacist oversees our compounding operations.
