During ophthalmology procedures, eye drops are used that are patient specific and required post-op.  However, they are not appropriately labeled for discharge and thus thrown away.  If these medications were ordered as discharge meds, thus would be appropriately labeled, they could be given to the patient post op and send home with them.  There would not be any wastage of the eye drops post op, they would be labeled for discharge and patient will not have to wait for discharge medications, nor go out via pharmacy to pick up medications.
