The present study deals with the transitory overview of comparative study of in-process and finished product quality control tests for ophthalmic products taking compendia specifications of IP, BP, USP, JP and Ph. Eur into consideration. When it comes to most sensitive part of body i.e.; Eye, a high degree of precautions should be taken during and after production of product for it to avoid any hitches. The sterility of these products, as well as accuracy in the calculation and preparation of doses is of great importance. There are many preparations available in the global market depending on the ease of use for consumer; but in the global field, each regulatory body obeys their own specifications of their country’s pharmacopoeia. The high graded quality product always refers to a product which is within the compendia limits. This article focuses on different dosage form under ophthalmic preparations, the procedures that are employed to maintain the quality and sterility of these ophthalmic products. This includes specifications and limits of different dosage forms according to different pharmacopoeia (like IP, BP, USP, JP, Ph. Eur etc.) which helps in comparative study of specifications provided in different pharmacopoeia. Different regulatory requirements of the respective countries demand products with different specific limits, so this comparative study will help in meeting all the requirements of the pharmacopoeias and later the regulatory requirements of that particular country.
