Having problems finding this product. Has it been discontinued and if so, do you know why?

REPORT

Dallas,

Did Johnson and Johnson tell you recently that they were not bringing Visine LR back? When I asked, they told me the information was "proprietary." I can inform the petitioners who signed the petition to "Bring Visine LR Back" of this decision and ask them to sign the petition to Prestige Brands asking them to "Make an Eyedrops with Oxymetazoline.
Also let us all know what you think about Bausch and Lomb's eyedrops.
Thank you.

Thank you, Aga for the suggestion of these eyedrops. I hope they will help at least some of us.

J&J, said they had NO plans to bring LR back ever. See my remarks on B&L. Outstanding. Better than LR. It might be that I have been using LR so long that might it might not worked as effectively as it used to, but it still worked. However..

B&L is Amazing! I bought a case after trying it today.

So you are certain B&L is as good? I just spent 90 bux on the remaining bottles on Amazon.

Just found a veritable bargin on eBay, two bottles of LR for $49.95. Says cheaper because they are marked 12/2014. That seller - clayplay678 - seems reliable - has over 6,000 feedback & accepts returns. They're also bottles with 2015 dates for higher $.

I asked Santa to put some in my stocking!!!

Good news!

The Bausch + Lomb Advanced Eye Relief "Redness Maximum Relief" Redness Reliever / Lubricant eye drops work better for me than any of the Visine LR or Visine Workplace eye drops.

Bausch + Lomb even works better than my prescription eye drops. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I found plenty of them available at my local WALMART store for just $2.98 each with an expiration date of 4/16. They are also available on the WALMART website.

I was skeptical at first, but these drops are really amazing. Sure it's only been two days, but I'm confident these eye drops are a keeper! No redness at all, very soothing lubricant, and no burning. They last forever too. I like the milky texture as opposed to Visine's watery drops.

Active Ingredients: Hypomellose (0.5%) lubricant , Naphazoline hydrochloride (0.03%) redness reliever

Now I can go resell the Visine LR eye drops I recently bought on ebay for insane prices.

Try the Bausch + Lomb drops!

I used the B&L Maximum Redness drops and they did work for a few hours but not as long as the Visine LR. There's a lubricant in them I don't need and although the B&L drops helped, I'm going to Doctor tomorrow to ask for prescription drops. What prescription drops are you using now? Thank you for posting your success story.

I also was led to believe that using Visine LR was bad for my eyes. I'd see little articles in women's magazines where doctors said it wasn't good to use eye drops every day. Well, I started using Visine LR right after OcuClear was discontinued--every single day! So, that's a VERY long time of constant use.

My eyes were recently checked, and the doctor said they are beautiful. I saw the films and I don't have any diseases, etc in my eyes. Just blurry vision that comes naturally as we age.

There are two types of doctors. Those that dispense prescriptions like candy, and those that are super-conservative and you end up having to the fight them all the way to the nail to get what you need.

The irony is sometimes it's easier to get stuff on the streets than it is your own doctor. I'm glad I have a doctor who gives me what I want when I need it..

Prednisolone 1% drops are fantastic as long as you don't over-use them 10 times a day for several months. They may can cause high pressure in the eyes which may lead to cataracts only if you over-use and abuse them for a very long extended period of time. I have been using them on-and-off since 2005 with excellent results.

I have 20/20 vision and perfect beautiful blue eyes. I don't even have to go to an eye doctor to get the eye drops because my regular physician is awesome. He simply sends me a prescription with several refills and I'm set for the year. If I run out and need a refill, it's never a problem to call him up.

The Bausch & Lamb Maximum Redness Relief eye drops are excellent; however, I alternate with the Prednisolone 1%. That daily regime works fantastic for me.

gregmech26,

I have not tried the Bausch and Lomb eye drops. But when my last two bottles of Visine LR are gone, I'm sure I will. I just hope they work for me like they're working for you. The other eye drops are out of the question. I'm sure that for for many of us, $80 is too much.

Ok... so I'm trying the following drops:

-The Bausch and Lomb drops others are raving about.
-Rohto Cool Maximum relief drops (back in 2010 when we had a shortage, the LR was not avail) - someone mentioned they liked the Rohto drops. I saw them at the store, with a coupon on the bottle, so I figured I'd try.

The B&L drops were soothing going in, very similar soothing sensation to the LR. However, I don't feel as if my eyes were as white as the LR nor for as long. I only tried this ONE day; so I'll continue the test and report on the findings.

The Rohto drops stung so bad initially going in, but almost immediately, there was a soothing sensation that I felt. So far, they are keeping my eyes, what I believe are a little whiter than the B&L. I haven't used these an entire day -- I just started this test today.

Thought I would share this with my fellow LR fans. NOTHING will ever replace LR in IMHO. But these could be viable options.

I don't live that far from Lancaster... interesting... but needing a script. Hmmmm, I seriously doubt that my doctor would prescribe a script for eye drops; but I guess it doesn't hurt to try!!

I'm still testing out the other drops I mentioned. The B&L and Rohto work ok. I guess you can say that they do the job... but nothing feels as good as the LR does in my eyes.

Dan,

I originally started a petition to ask Johnson and Johnson to Bring Back Visine LR on change.org. I don't know if you have signed it but I am reposting the link below:

change.org/p/johnson-johnson-bring-back-visine-long-lasting-redness-relief-visine-lr

They have not responded to me personally but others have said that Visine LR was discontinued due to manufacturing difficulties and at this time they have no plans to bring it back. We keep trying.

Just to clarify - Bob please check your ingredients - Afrin and Visine LR 's active ingredient is "Oxymetazoline HCl". I do not find "Oxymetalazone" listed in wikipedia or anywhere else online.
