Why EasyCataract®?
EasyCataract® combines three active ingredients—an antibiotic, a steroid, and an NSAID—into one bottle removing the burden of handling three separate dropper bottles. A combination eye drop saves on costs, increases patient adherence to treatment for pre-operative and post-operative cataract surgery, and saves time.
What is EasyCataract®?
EasyCataract® is a combination eye drop of Moxifloxacin 0.5%, Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate 1%, and Bromfenac 0.075%. It was created to make pre-op and post-op cataract surgery treatment easier and more convenient for both the patient and the doctor. A local eye surgeon came to us in search of an alternative to prescribing the common three separate dropper bottles. She explained that many times patients cannot tolerate a multi-bottle regimen. Since noncompliance is the biggest impediment to a great outcome, EasyCataract® was born.

OUR GOAL IS OPTIMAL OUTCOMES. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY THE MASTERY OF THE THREE PILLARS OF QUALITY: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, QUALITY ASSURANCE, AND EXPERTLY TRAINED STAFF.
Facilities Management
Our state-of-the-art compounding lab undergoes constant scrutiny with regularly scheduled testing such as airborne particulate counts and microbial surface/air sampling. By maintaining continual monitoring, our lab can produce quality sterile products.
Quality Assurance
Quality is a must. Therefore all sterile products undergo testing by an outside, unaffiliated, third-party lab. Products remain quarantined until a Certificate of Analysis is received that verifies the product. Testing performed includes sterility, potency, endotoxin, container closure integrity, and preservative effectiveness.
Staff Competency
Our products are compounded by a fully trained, tested, and validated compounding staff. Multiple pharmacists on our staff hold Board Certification in sterile compounding. Our facility has achieved PCAB accreditation and maintained it. PCAB (also known as ACHC) is the gold standard of accreditation for compounding pharmacies.
