[Translated article] Consensus on intraocular drug preparations

The consensus between the Spanish Society of Retina and Vitreous, the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy and the Spanish Society of Ophthalmology on the preparation, distribution, and administration of intraocular medications is presented, which expands the SEO-SEFH Consensus on recommendations for use and preparation of ophthalmic preparations achieved and published in 2018 in the journal "Farmacia Hospitalaria". Initially, each society appointed at least two members to form the working group that defined the objectives of the consensus. After that, they carried out a bibliographic search of both scientific articles and documentation from regulatory agencies and manufacturers to write a first draft by internal consensus. This draft was reviewed and corrected by members other than the three scientific societies, and was sent to the societies involved for their endorsement. It was verified that this version complied with the recommendations of the AGREE II guide. This consensus includes the review of the requirements that the medical devices used must meet to avoid complications such as the release of silicone drops or other lubricants, as well as a selection of products and suppliers that meet these characteristics, the validity periods for the most common preparations, and the techniques for their preparation, handling and administration.
