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!" :)

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.

Christina,

Same here... I don't have allergies either. I also don't have a dry eye problem, so I don't really need a lubricant in my eye drops.

I'm off to the store to purchase another brand of eye drops, since I have only one more bottle of Visine LR. After reading the comments you and Rick posted, I'm going to try the recommended Bausch + Lomb eye drops and skip the Opcon-A altogether. I don't have money to waste.

It's amazing what a difference Visine LR has made in my life. I never go a day without using eye drops--and I don't want to. Without them, I could probably pass for an extra on "The Walking Dead." Lol! They really make me look and feel more alive.

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.

Rick,

Thank you. You are exactly correct. Opcon A might work for some but since I don't suffer from ocular allergies, it did not work for me. I am still trying to contact any company that is willing to listen to me and urge them to make an eyedrop with oxymetazoline. I for one need an ocular vasoconstrictor.

Visine LR is a vasoconstrictor that makes red eyes whiter. Opcon A is an antihistamine, its use is for for ocular allergies. Visine LR will be missed, Opcon isnt a red eye reducer.

Disappointed about Visine LR being discontinued but tried OPCON-A (Bauch and Lomb) had no redness and my eyes feel great…Noticed others have tried this too which also worked for them. Hope this helps others too.

Thanks for doing this.. Who can I write too and help out? No one understands what life is like with red eyes....and LR is the only thing that works for me. I purchased a B & L max redness bottle but have not tried it yet....

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.

I have one bottle of LR that I am using sparingly supplementing with the B & L maximum redness. I have also e-mailed Adcock Ingram directly to see if they would communicate with CVS or find another avenue if they have an interest in selling their product in the US They too have replied and assigned a case number to my request. Will check back when or if I hear from either one of them again.

Rtrsr,

Great idea! I have contacted CVS customer service on your advice as well basically asking them about Allergex. I will let you know if I hear anything from them. Please keep us posted if you get a response also.
Where are you currently at?

Thank you for your efforts,
Christina

The South African product is known as Allergex produced by Adcock Ingram Healthcare in SA. It appears to have the same ingredients as Visine LR. I have contacted CVS because they do carry other products manufactured in SA so I thought they might have an established distribution network already set up to bring in SA products. They have answered my e-mail, gave it a case number and advised that my request has been forwarded to their production people. Might be helpful if we can get as many people to contact CVS customer service as possible to show the interest in this product.

When I 1st started using the OPCON my eyes turned really red after the 2nd use too I just kept on and finally after a month that stopped now its almost as good as Visine LR

Hmmm, interesting! I use it twice a day not more and my eyes are not red, exactly like Visine LR's effect.

Do you use it everyday? I've used it in the past but too much use makes the redness worse. Works great for allergy eyes but my experience with it on a daily basis made the redness worse.

Hello everyone! Read my post below regarding Opcon A. It is the perfect alternative for Visine LR. It will keep the redness out promise. We can all use it until Visine LR restocks again I the shelves lol.

not buffered means the PH balance isn't correct for your eye can cause burning and or damage.

I also talked to my pharmacist about using Diluted Afrin in my eyes for the Oxymetazoline. He said it wasn't a very good idea because it's not "buffered" for the eye (whatever that means). He also said that eyedrops could be used in the ear or nose but it doesn't work the other way around.

This is so frustrating I have tried everything even stuff from the health food stores. Nothing is working! I'm miserable: (

I found a pharmacy called All Day Pill that appears to stock Zoamet (from India). Site looks legit but who knows. Maybe some intrepid soul will give this a try and report back to us, lol.
