How are intravitreal/intraocular doses and pediatric parenteral medications dispensed from the pharmacy to nursing units?

When it comes to intravitreal or intraocular doses, do you prefer dispensing them in syringes with or without needles? Additionally, for pediatric units, are parenteral medications typically dispensed in syringes with needles to nursing units? Do you draw the doses up with a filter needle? Share your practices and insights below!

Thanks,
Harriet
