All those in favor of preservative freedom, say eye

We are eye care professionals. We are the caretakers of the ocular surface and the preservationists of vision.

Every day we aim to sustain our patients’ view of this world, prescribing eye drops, and exploring other therapeutics and interventions. Our recommendations are unique to each, to address their current condition or long-term disease, while managing expectations of the best possible outcomes.​

Formulations in many prescription and OTC eye drops continue to include preservatives. Prolonged use of these compounds have proven deleterious to the ocular surface and some anatomical structures of the eye, with some of these effects occurring immediately with acute signs and symptoms, and some progressing slowly over the chronic course of therapy.​

Today, we choose preserving the health of the ocular surface over extraneous preservatives, where possible.

Unite for Preservative Freedom

Preservative Freedom is a commitment to help preserve patient eye health - now and throughout their life expectancy. We’re pledging our commitment to breaking through our apathy and indifference, old habits, and to do so while continuing to keep our patients' eye care as the highest priority.​
