I wish visine would stop playing ring around the rosie with their customers....I guess they're stalling for time to admit that it is discontinued as to hope they can keep their customers from trying something new with their competitors....I guess they'd hope that their customers would try another brand with them....ifvthats the case can they at least direct us to something closecti the Visine LR brand we've been looking for??

Pretty much the same ingredients of Clear Eyes Maximum. I find this works fairly well but poops out much quicker than LR.

Oxymetazoline was developed from xylometazoline. Otrivine antistin eye drops contains xylometazoline, maybe they work the same, don't know.

The Peoples Pharmacy in South Africa and also Allegan of Ireland both never responded to my emails. Looks like I am out of options.

Hey everyone chill down. Use Nostrilla Nose Spray. Contains the exact same active ingredient: Oxymetazoline. Now, before you purists and detractors start naysaying me, keep this in mind. The nasal membranes and passages are as sensitive as the occular ones. They are interconnected. Obviously, Nostrilla is designed not to damage either tissues. Therefore, it is perfectly safe to use as an eyedrop. Reason I know, is I did this for a period of a year, after Ocuclear drops were discontinued, before Visine LR was put on the market. I also use FishMox from online pet stores as a direct replacement for Amoxicillin when I have tooth infections. Saves me a ton of money by not having to go to a Dr. and get a prescription. Desperate times calls for creative solutions people. Take action now and quit whining to J&J to bring back the Visine LR. I know because I used to work there and they are EXTREMELY risk adverse.

I wouldn't dare put these nasal drops in my eyes, especially after Nostrilla recently changed its formula and people are complaining about severe burning in the nose and eyes (and that's when they use it as directed and insufflate it up their nose, God forbid placing it directly into the eyeball). Read the reviews on amazon.

Allergex makes eye drops with oxymetazoline, but unfortunately also in South Africa

Keep on trying!

I signed the petition as well. These are the only eyedrops that work for me. They really need to continue producing them

Jay,

I thank you and everyone here as we are all working together for some type of help.
I know Tony ordered some eyedrops from China via alibaba. Did they ever arrive, Tony? Let us know what you think about them.
I am thinking about putting out petitions to two other US Companies who currently make nasal sprays with oxymetazoline, asking them to make eyedrops
with the same ingredient. One to prestige brands, who makes Nostrilla nasal spray, and one to Bayer, who makes Afrin nasal spray. What do you guys think?

Has anyone considered seeing if this is something a compounding pharmacy could produce?

Update: I gave Alibaba my order information and my contact lady wrote me back saying it is not possible to order internationally straight from the supplier, and that it needs to go through a third party. She said she would get the third party lined up for me to make my order. I haven't heard from her in over a week. Doesn't sound good. :(

I did check this out and was told that they could do it but it would be very "cost prohibitive".

I think it is crucial that J&J really be made to understand that people are selling this product all over ebay, Amazon, etc. with insanely high price markups. This shows that there is a known demand. In addition, if J&J needs to put it back on the market with a price hike in order to justify producing/selling it, I say go for it! It still won't be as high many are willing to pay it online. Maybe there is a happy medium here.

There is no Visine Workplace - What other product can I buy that works. I'm not playing chemist and mixing anything.
