Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 23) (Top voted first)

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

I understand what many of you have said/are saying. I don't touch anything "Clear Eyes." It's a shame to give a product that name and have it be a complete farce!

Previously, I meant to write Oxylin, but mistakenly typed Oligin.

Why would you write a bold face lie? The only LR's left are $90 or above and have passed their expiration date. Stop with the BS.

Bought a bottle of Allergex. So far it's been a week and found it to work exactly the same as the LR. $38.00/15ml. It works for me. Little expensive but I don't like the feel of the tears/Afrin mix which I tried a couple of days. So far very happy.

I posted the information below some time ago and was wondering if anyone has had success. I don't see much discussion about it but I can tell you it stills works great for me ( and you can get a double pack in Walmart for about $5.00)

I have been using B&L Advanced Eye Relief for several months now and it is working better than Visine LR. Don't get any burning sensation and my eyes are not nearly as red when I wake up in the morning and are even whiter than LR when I use the drops. I think prolonged use of LR aggravated the problem. Must get the Advanced Relief Redness Maximum Relief with .03% naphazoline hydrochloride. Other brands have a lesser content of this ingredient and they don't work. I used LR for many years and Occuclear before that and was very upset when J & J discontinued LR, but, for me at least, I have found a better alternative.

Allergex - suggests do not use after 30 days of opening. Maybe one of Two things. They are covering their butt because the preservative used or non use of is only guaranteed to last that long after oxygen inception after unsealing the bottle. I've read doctors statements that eye drops should be discarded after 90 days due to possible contamination from the tip touching you eyes or lids. (2) Eye drops generally state not using > 5-6 days if symptoms don't go away. Personally I'm not worried about their statement. I'd be more worried about putting Afrin in my eyes. I have a 1 1/2 year expired bottle of LR that I keep for backup and use it once awhile just to make sure it;s OK.

Rhonda go to the B&L company page. The product you describe is still made and lists the same ingredients in the same percentage. Maybe you were looking at a different B&L product at walmart. They did not change the formula.

Right after I wrote my last post, I went to the Baush + Lomb website to view their products.

Yes, thank God. B + L does make 2 "different" Advanced Eye Relief formulas!

:-)

Phew!!! What a relief!

One is called "Redness" and the other one is called "Maximum Redness Relief."

I guess that just like my family member said, they've sold out. Consumers must be catching on that after Visine LR, the maximum redness relief formula is one of the best eye drops left on the market.

Well, next time I'll do a better job at researching things before I freak out. :-)

Sorry Traci. I called you Lisa. :-) And I can't simply just say that, because this site is telling me to leave a "detailed message."

Walmart is pulling certain products from their store shelves.

In recent months, at least two "popular" products that I have been buying for years from Walmart are now only available thru Walmart's website. It really sux to pay that extra money for the shipping. Plus, the prices for the 2 products have also gone up.

Lorena,

As with all the oxymetazoline drops now available, the label says do not use after 30 days from the date you open the bottle. So, you have had no adverse effects from using a bottle from 4 to 6 months? Thanks.

Just checking in here. As many of you know, I guess Walmart is competing with Amazon's Internet order success by yanking items from shelves and offering lower prices, esp when you pick the items up from their stores.

I don't feel hopeful that we will ever get our oxymetazoline eye drops back. Probably only a brand new company/pharmacy would make it for us consumers.

I know I'm majorly digressing, but I just purchased a new tube of Crest Pro Health toothpaste and it is SO different.

It seems that hardly anything will remain the same anymore. It's pretty sad.

So been following this site for some time. Long time LR user that finally had to cut over to B & L Max Redness as a last ditch alternative when LR ran out. B & L is OK, but nowhere near the product LR was. So question for those out there using Cendo, Zoamet, Allergex or Oxylin. Which is best if you tried more than one? I am leaning towards buying Allergex but would love your feedback.

Thanks!

Mark, Oxylin works best for me. I tried all the others. I used VLR for 20 years.

I've used all four. Allergex is my favorite and a larger bottle than some.

I wish Occuclear came back!! (that was discontinued in the 90s). That was the best IMO.

Im currently still using some outdated Visine LR which still works better than Allergex, my current alternative. I may try Cendo. Damn Visine!

I have tried Allergex and Oxylin. Hands down Oxylin is the winner for me. Allergex doesn't work as well for me. Oxylin keeps my eyes white all day long with one drop. During the day if I get stressed or am staring at a computer, will get some redness but it passes. Where before I would be putting in more drops which as we all know sometimes makes matters worse! With B & L Max I would have to put in drops at least twice a day and eyes never looked great. Oxylin does burn like FIRE the first few seconds after using but goes away quickly. Anyone else notice this?

Appreciate those who keep this site alive. Until LR comes back, I feel like I have got my eyes back under control, which is a big deal for most of us on here.

Mark-

Oxylin does burn my eyes at first also. It works no better in my case than Allergex.
