Definition
Ophthalmic preparations are sterile, liquid, semi-solid or solid preparations intended foradministration upon the eyeball and/or to theconjunctiva or to be inserted in the conjunctival sac.

Types of ophthalmic preparations
Several categories of eye preparations may bedistinguished:
1) Eye drops.2) Eye lotions.3) Semi-solid eye preparations.
4) Ophthalmic inserts.

Depending on the condition being
treated, they may contain :
Steroids (e.g dexamethasone ), Antihistamines Sympathomimetics Beta receptor blockers

parasympathomimetics (e.g
pilocarpine .), parasympatholytics (e.g. atropine ), prostaglandins , non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) or topical anesthetics .

Eye drops sometimes do not have
medications in them and are onlylubricating and tear-replacing solutions
and they can also contain anti-rednessand similar chemicals.

Extemporaneous preparation of eye drops involvesthe following:
I. Preparation of the solution.
II. Clarification.III. Filling and sterilization.

Factors to be considered in theformulation of ophthalmic preparations
includes 1. pH

Preparation of the solution
1.Active ingredient(s) to produce desiredtherapeutic effect.
2.Vehicle , usually aqueous but occasionally may beoil.
3.Antimicrobial preservative to eliminate any
microbial contamination during use and thusmaintain sterile.

4. Adjuvants to adjust tonicity , viscosity or pH in order to increase the comfort
in use and to increase the stability of the active ingredient(s).
5. Suitable containers for administrationof eye drop which maintains the
preparation in a stable form and protectsfrom contamination during preparation,storage and use.

Excipients used
1. viscosity inhancers : Increasing the viscosity of an eye drop increases the
residence time of the drop in the eye and results in
increased penetration and therapeutic action of thedrug.
The common agents and their maximumconcentration used in ophthalmic formulations arein the below:
-

Viscosity Enhancers:
Hydroxy ethyl cellulose Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose Methyl cellulose
Polyvinyl alcohol

. Buffers1 They are compounds that resist changes in pH upon
the addition of limited amounts of acids or bases.
Buffer systems are usually composed of a weak acidor weak base and its conjugate salts.
Examples:Borate buffer.Phosphate buffer.
Citrate buffer .

Solution pH : The physiologic pH of tears is
approximately 7.4 . Thus, this would bethe optimal pH of ophthalmic solutions
for eye comfort.
Ophthalmic solutions may range frompH 4.5 - 11.5. But the useful range toprevent corneal damage is 6.5 to 8.5.

The components act in such a way that
addition of an acid or base results in theformulation of a salt causing only a smallchange in pH.
Buffer capacity is a measure of theefficiency of a buffer in resistingchanges in pH.

Preservatives should be used that do notcause patient sensitivity or that are
incompatible with the other ingredients in theformulation.
This is to ensure that the eye drops aremaintained sterile during use and will notintroduce contamination into the eyes being
treated.

Preparation of the solution
The aqueous eye drop vehicle containing anynecessary preservative, antioxidant, stabilizer,tonicity modifier, viscolizer or buffer should beprepared first.
Then the active ingredient is added and thevehicle made up to volume.

The clarified solution is either:
1. Filled directly into the final containers whichare sealed prior to heat sterilization.
or
2. Filled into suitable container prior to filtration

Osmotic and PH
pH control importance:
1. The pH offering the best stability during
preparation and storage.2. Offering the best therapeutic activity.3. The comfort of the patient.4. The lacrimal fluid has a pH of 7.2-7.4, so
when possible eye drops should be bufferedto reduce stinging on instillation

A 0.9% solution of NaCl (Normal Saline) is iso-osmotic with blood and tears.
isotonic or iso-osmotic solutions do not damagetissue or produce pain when administered.
Solutions which contain fewer particles and exert alower osmotic pressure than 0.9% saline are calledhypotonic
Administration of a hypotonic solution producespainful swelling of tissues as water passes from theadministration site into the tissues or blood cells.

Solutions which contain particles and
exert higher osmotic pressures arereferred to as hypertonic .
Hypertonic solutions produce shrinking of tissues as water is pulled from thebiological cells in an attempt to dilute thehypertonic solution.

Containers and packaging Glass container:
The containers are usually fitted withdroppers attached to the closures.
The droppers are made from natural glassand the rubber teats must be compatible with
all the constituents of the eye drops.

Plastic container:Plastic containers fitted with nozzles that dispense
the eye drops by gently squeezing the walls of thecontainer are also employed.Here by eliminating the dropper, the risk of
contaminating the contents is reduced.

Ideal container: The ideal type of packaging for eye drops is a
disposable "one - shot Minims containerwhich eliminates the need for anypreservative and reduces the risk of infectingthe eye during applications almost to zero.

Storage condition:
The stability of several drugs used in eyedrops is improved by refrigerated storage(2-8 C) and to minimize degradation of eye drops ingredients, storagetemperature and conditions must be
considered.

Containers used: Contact lens solutions are usually packed
in plastic container .
It's important that these containers are
kept in a hygienic condition by keepingthem clean and using the disinfecting /storage solution.

replaced by gas permeable contact lenses ,
which although still being rigid , but allow oxygen to reach the cornea
eliminating the possibility of swelling andusually allowing better vision witheyeglasses when they are removed.

(3) Soft lenses Soft lenses are made of a soft plastic and are more comfortable than hard
lenses because they hold more water.
(4) Disposable lenses

(4) Disposable lenses(A healthy choice):
Disposable contacts are worn for aspecific period of time ,
then thrown out and replaced with fresh lenses .
Disposables have become the mostcommon type of contact lenses.

PREPARATION OF EYE LOTIONS The purpose of eye lotions is to
assist in the cleaning of the external surfaces of theeye.This might be to help remove a non-impacted foreignbody or to clean away conjunctival discharge.intended for use in surgical or first-aid procedures.There is no intention to use an eye lotion to deliver anyactive ingredient to the eye but rather to remove
unwanted gross contaminants from the eye.
-
7/30/2019 Ophthalmic 2012

Properties of eye lotions
should not contain antimicrobial preservativesand should be in single-use containers.
Thus these preparations should be very simpleand the most common eye lotion consists of sterile normal saline.
