High-Volume Surgeon Trusts OSRX Drops for Patients

OSRX provides predictable, consistent, quality compounded medications for Dr. Shah’s practice

The field of ophthalmology is constantly evolving which is what makes it an attractive career to many. There is one ophthalmologist who considers his career a hobby – rather than a job – because it is so fulfilling.  

Chirag Shah, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist and the founder of LASIK Experts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “I founded LASIK Experts to focus primarily on refractive surgery,” explains Dr. Shah. “Over the past 20+ years, I’ve had the distinct honor to perform more than 70,000 vision correction procedures. I’ve invested heavily in multiple advanced technologies to help a wider array of patients achieve clearer vision. My work has become a passion.”

High-volume Surgeries Require Consistent Medications

When a practice is performing high-volume surgeries – hundreds or thousands each month – they need technology, systems and medications that run smoothly without glitches. As Dr. Shah states, “We can’t have cracks in the road.”

Dr. Shah has been trusting OSRX Pharmaceuticals to provide compounded eye drops to streamline the medication prescribing process for his staff as well as his patients. OSRX works with the practice to create customized drops. “The drops we prescribe from OSRX are predictable with consistent high-quality medications in each bottle,” says Dr. Shah.  

Patient Compliance & Satisfaction

The compounded post-op eye drops provided by OSRX make it easy for patients to comply with their instructions because they only have one eye drop to manage (rather than 2-3 different drops). Additionally, the OSRX drops are cost-effective for patients. In fact, according to the 2024 Patient Satisfaction Survey conducted by OSRX:

  • 98% say taking OSRX drops helps them comply with their daily dosing regimen (4% increase over 2023)
  • 90% agree their OSRX medication was reasonably priced (3% increase over 2023)
  • 98% say they are satisfied or very satisfied with OSRX overall (4% increase over 2023)

Dr. Shah instructs a patient on how to use OSRX eye drops.

The Burden is Removed

“OSRX has taken the burden off our practice and made it easier to provide patient care,” says Dr. Shah. The goal is to remove the barriers that make it difficult to access medications and comply with instructions. Efficiency is key.   

Myopia is On the Rise

According to Dr. Shah, the number of myopic patients is predicted to more than double by 2050, so there will most likely be an increase in patients seeking vision correction. As procedures continue getting better, safer and more accessible to patients, it will become even more important to streamline the eye drop prescribing process.   

“Even though I treat thousands of patients every year, I consider each and every person to be special,” says Dr. Shah. Providing an excellent patient experience is very important to Dr. Shah and his team. This is evident in Dr. Shah being named a New Jersey Top Doc by NJ Magazine from 2013-2023. OSRX post-op drops are one tool in his path to success.
