Compounded Eye Drops in Mount Lawley, WA, Australia
McKenzies Compounding Chemist is your trusted partner for advanced ophthalmic care in Perth, Australia. We understand that every patient is unique, and their treatment should reflect this individuality. That’s why we offer sterile compounding services tailored specifically to the needs of ophthalmology.
Why Choose Sterile Compounding for Ophthalmology?
When it comes to treating complex eye conditions, precision and sterility are critical. Whether managing myopia, macular degeneration, glaucoma, or fungal eye infections, tailored treatments improve outcomes and reduce risks. At McKenzies, we offer:
- A purpose-built, state-of-the-art sterile compounding facility that adheres to USP <795> and <797> guidelines.
- Highly trained compounding pharmacists use advanced aseptic techniques.
- Rigorous third-party testing to ensure the safety, stability, and potency of all compounded formulations.
Compounding allows us to formulate eye drops and injectables that meet specific therapeutic requirements, often improving efficacy where commercially available medications fall short.
From custom concentrations to preservative-free solutions, our compounding eye drops are designed to match each patient’s clinical needs.
Tailored Solutions for Diverse Needs
From glaucoma to macular degeneration, our sterile compounding services cater to a wide range of ophthalmic conditions. We understand that traditional medications may not always meet the unique requirements of every patient. That’s why we offer customised dosages and formulations, ensuring that each treatment is optimised for maximum effectiveness.
Not every patient responds the same way to commercially prepared medicines. Factors such as allergies, sensitivities, and required dosage adjustments make customised compounding an ideal solution. Our team works with your healthcare provider to prepare compounded ophthalmic treatments
We can assist with:
- Unique concentrations of active ingredients
- Allergen-free or preservative-free formulations
- Custom formulations for off-label or orphan treatments
- Dosages tailored to individual patient needs
By focusing on each individual patient, we help improve adherence and results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compounded Eye Drops
Compound eye drops may not be suitable for patients who:
- Are allergic to specific active ingredients or preservatives
- Require medications that have stable, well-tolerated, commercially available alternatives
- Cannot comply with specific storage or handling instructions (some compounded formulations have shorter shelf lives or require refrigeration)
- Have conditions where the risk of contamination or misuse could outweigh the benefits
A consultation with your doctor and compounding pharmacist will determine the best approach based on your individual needs.
The effects of ophthalmic eye drops can vary depending on the active ingredient and the condition being treated.
Some drops provide relief for just a few hours, while others, such as those for managing glaucoma, can last up to 24 hours. Your prescribing doctor or pharmacist will advise you on how often to use your eye drops based on your specific treatment needs.
