Ophthalmic Solutions
Ophthalmic solutions range from contact lens cleaning and storage solutions to eye surgery and treatment products. These preparations must meet stringent regulatory requirements and product specifications.
Though the major component in ophthalmics is water, many contain salts such as NaCl, preservatives, petrolatum for ointments and thixotropic polymeric substances for lubricating agents. Heat-labile components are processed via sterile filtration for particle and bioburden reduction and microorganism removal.
