Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 16) (Top voted first)

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

REPLY

REPORT

I just heard back from CVS. They said they will pass my suggestion on to the Product Selection Team for future consideration. I have asked them not only for the Allergex eyedrops but also to manufacture and/or sell any other eyedrops with oxymetazoline.

There is a rip off artist on eBay called "best deal ever 389". He has a product called Cendo Asthenof Oxymetazoline HCL 0.25% + Vit A - Similar Visine LR Long Lasting that he is offering for around $35. I tried working with him to get Visine LR but he balked. Now he thinks he can fleece US citizens with this other eyedrop product. Buyer beware, he is one slick person.

I can't believe all these posts. Me too. Been using for over 15 years as well. I have struggled for the past year going anywhere and everywhere looking for LR. Why did they discontinue? I have spent so much money on other products. Should have googled sooner. Thanks for sharing.

Bob - Thanks for sharing the information. I could not find the product on ebay but I did see the seller. Reminds me of the Zoamet eyedrops from India. When I went to order them the entire website disappeared!

Rhonda - Let us know how Bausch and Lomb works for you. It was better for me than Opcon A but not nearly as good with redness and/or irritation as Visine LR. I can join you as an extra on "The Walking Dead!" :)

Hello all,

I have signed the petition quite a while ago and I keep checking here for updates. I just toured this board to see what kind of luck many have had with other products. I do not have allergies, so I am thinking not to bother with OPCON A??? Is Bausch and Lomb Advanced Eye Relief Redness Maximum Relief Eye Drops the product that has worked for some? I know there isn't an excellent replacement yet, but is the B&L Max the one to try? There are so many out there, I just want to pick the right one and give it a shot. Thanks.

Hi JuanK, thank you for sharing that information. I looked into getting Grimal from Mexico before but I couldn't find a reseller that would ship to the USA.

Do you know where you can get it shipped to the USA?

RTRSR,

I did contact CVS when you originally mentioned them and the south African products that they sell. They said they would investigate the matter. I hope others will also. I believe as a group we should all contact as many revenues as possible to get an eyedrop with oxymetazoline in the US marketplace. Thanks RTRSR and all who are working and/or sharing information here while we try to get something to replace and/or reinstate Visine LR. Thanks for your suggestion and efforts.

which Equate eyedrop do you use because I looked at my Walmart and none of those had Oxymetazoine listed.

I also cannot find eyedrops with oxymetazoline anywhere. It was the only thing that worked. I loved it. I've bought everything else. No result. Feels like my eyes never feel wake. Now what? . I miss it.

I'm in such a panic mode, folks!

I'm basically down to my last bottle of Visine LR (there's just a small amount left in the bottle before it). I purchased two bottles (value pack) of Bausch + Lomb Advanced Relief eye drops (Redness Maxiumum Relief). I decided to open and try the eye drops this morning.

Gosh, I am so disappointed!

Yea, I don't look completely like the "walking dead," but I'm just a tad bit away from it. :-)

I used quite a bit of the B+L in each eye. There was no burning. I think the lubricant helps with that. I also don't have any makeup or mascara on today--that can irritate your eyes when using eye drops. Anyhow, I just looked into the mirror and, let me just say that this situation is KILLING me!!

My eyes look nothing like they do with the Visine LR. There is no comparison! I believe I also need the oxymetazoline ingredient. I would never feel good about going out with my eyes looking like this. The improvement is extremely slight. It's so slight that it's not really worth it. I look like a different person--almost like a wino! With the Visine LR, my eyes turn whiter immediately.

Well, it's back to begging this week. It's back to writing Johnson & Johnson and Walmart again, Walgreens -- and any of the larger pharmacies here in the USA.

To be honest, I want my eye drops coming to me "through" one of the tried, true and respected companies in the U.S. I'm just not comfortable with any of the foreign businesses that I've never heard of before.

I believe there is a better way that J&J can produce a similar product to our beloved Visine LR. Maybe they could cut down on some of the other ingredients to save money, but still create a new safe and effective oxymetazoline eye drops.

Rhonda....it could have been because I was well rested that day and minimal computer use. (Not typical ) I'll have to try again.

Ha- again - it could have been an anomaly! They were red by early afternoon. Better than regular visine or max relief visine for sure though. Definitely not a replacement by any means. I'm still sick over it. I do have 2 bottles of LR left. and I showed my husband how much they are going for on Amazon - and he was like- Why are you not selling them?! He doesn't get it, does he?! LOL :)

Although I have a couple new bottles of Visine LR in storage, I have purchased Afrin and will mix with distilled water as an experiment. I will follow up with another post to let you know the results.

You are very lucky to have a couple left. Mix Afrin and water half & half you just have to use a little, works all day for me

I wish Afrin could make the eye drops we love so much since they have the ingredient :)

That would be nice. I can't believe how many people can't function without this stuff! Myself included. I think the eyes get dependent on it.
