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

Thanks for the update, Tony.

I agree it does not sound good.

I called J&J, and they confirmed that LR has been discontinued, with no plans to bring it back. This happened back in 2010, and they told me that they had issues with getting the main ingredient "oxymetazoline" imported into the States, and Canada. I have been using this product for probably 15 years, and it is the "only" product on the market that works for me.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on buying every other Visine product, and all the other brands as well. This is truly a bummer.

Update 2: Alibaba lined me up with a third party to purchase the eye drops. My ordered was denied since I was only ordering 10. Time to look elsewhere.

How many does it take to complete an order? Maybe we can all go in together! :)

Dallas,

Johnson and Johnson gave you more info than they give me. If they don't plan on bringing Visine LR back, I would urge you and everyone to please sign the petition urging Prestige Brands to make an eyedrop with oxymetazoline, since they are currently producing Nostrilla, a nasal spray with this main ingredient.

Thank you!

Not a bad idea. Has anybody tried this brand yet? If it works, I would be willing to buy 20 bottles.

Aga - How many other brands have you tried, and has anything else ever worked for you? I am just asking because I have spent hundreds, probably thousands over the years to find a replacement fr LR that actually works. I am willing to try anything, just wanted a little perspective.

Thanks in advance for your feedback..

Christina,

Just to clarify, the import issue was the case in 2010. Currently, J&J said they have definitely discontinued LR for good. I have signed the petition, but I only see like 19 other signatures, so we need to get much more attention to the petition.

Dallas- i have tried all the other visine products n about 6 more other products w no luck. I have been using visine lr for more than 15 yrs for my chronic dry eyes. The b&l maximum answered my prayers! Good luck!

Thanks Aga. I appreciate the feedback. That's the kind of answer I was looking for, I have been using LR for the same amount of time, and have not only tried most OTC products, as well as Medical Prescription brands, and nothing else worked. I will definitely go pick up a bottle today. Will let you know my results.

Aga - I am looking for stores that carry the product in store, and cannot seem to find any locally in Dallas. Have you purchased in store?

Aga - Disregard the previous request. I found it at WalMart. However, there were only 2 boxes of twin packs left on the shelf in much the same way I used to see LR on the shelf in limited supply. If this works, I will be stocking up.. :-)

Aga - I want to Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I went, and picked up B&L today. I have been using Systane for the last couple of days trying to keep the little bit of LR I had remaining for work. My eyes were Red, Burning, all the regular symptoms that users of LR have.

I put 2 drops of B&L in, and almost immediately felt comfort. I came back to my computer, and worked for a bit and then, I reluctantly went into the restroom to see if the Red was gone. My eyes are Crystal Clear. Even more so than LR has ever produced.

As we discussed, I have literally spent easily hundreds trying to find a replacement the last time LR went out of stock. I have been to multiple Doctors, bought every thing under the sun OTC, and nothing has ever worked, ever...!

I walked into the restroom almost scared that it wasn't going to work for redness.

OMG, my eyes are Crystal Clear. Never have I seen a product work this good, not even LR. I'm Stock Piling.. :-)

Thank you once again..

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.

For me, the B&L works better than anything I have ever used including LR. As I mentioned, since I have been using LR for about 15 years or more, it might have lost a bit of it's effectiveness. However, it still worked better than anything else I have ever used until now.

I suffer from extreme Red, Burning, Dry eyes. When I wake up in the morning is when it's at it's worst. If I don't apply the LR, my eyes would stay that way all day. Looks like I indulged in a pound of marijuana, and have been out partying on 2 hours sleep.. :-) LOL, and I don't smoke at all.

But this stuff (B&L) is the real deal for me. I was almost about to do what you did, and bite the bullet on Ebay / Amazon.

Thanks again to Aga for the find..!
