Ophthalmology Compounding
Our ophthalmology program delivers rapid, individualized care with same-day accommodations, overnight shipping, and streamlined access to therapies such as autologous serum tears and treatments for severe ocular infections. This allows for timely, precise interventions tailored to patient needs.
Autologous Serum Tears
Autologous Serum Tears (AST) are a personalized treatment for dry eye disease, made from the patient’s own blood. After a simple blood draw, the serum is separated and compounded into sterile eye drops that closely resemble natural tears.
Autologous Serum Tears
We offer a comprehensive Autologous Serum Tears (AST) program designed to support both providers and patients with a streamlined process. The only step required from the provider is writing the prescription; we coordinate the remainder of the process. Our team arranges the patient’s blood draw, including convenient at-home collection options so patients do not need to leave their home. We serve patients nationwide and compound AST drops daily to ensure quality and consistency. Once prepared, orders can be shipped overnight directly to the patient for timely access to therapy. Learn more about our AST process below.
Prescription Submission
The provider submits a prescription via fax, EMR, or telephone for Autologous Serum Tears, including the desired concentration. Pharmacists can help with prescription writing and help recommend strengths.
Patient Coordination
Once received, our team contacts the patient to coordinate the blood draw. Patients may visit our pharmacy, or we can arrange for a trained and licensed phlebotomist to perform an at-home collection.
Sterile Compounding
Blood samples are returned to the pharmacy the same day for processing. The serum is prepared via centrifugation in accordance with sterile compounding standards. Compounding can occur any weekday.
Dispensing & Delivery
After preparation, patients may pick up their medication the following day, or we can provide overnight shipping directly to the patient’s home. Shipping is complimentary for the patient.
