The purpose of this study is to find a unique ophthalmic packaging that takes into account modern requirements for both maintaining the quality and safety of the drug, compliance with therapy, and increasing the profitability and environmental friendliness of its production. Statistics from open international databases on drugs approved for ophthalmic therapy in 2022 are provided. The research criteria were a valid registration status, the type of packaging and the presence of a preservative in the composition of the eye drops. The results of statistical processing of databases of ministries of health of different countries have shown the relevance of monodose ophthalmic packaging, capable of long-term storage of the drug without preservatives. In many countries, particularly in Europe, many drugs in the form of a monodose containers are registered. On this basis, a unique aluminum-based monodose container design is proposed, eliminating the use of large quantities of plastic.
