Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 26)

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

gregmech26,

I have not tried the Bausch and Lomb eye drops. But when my last two bottles of Visine LR are gone, I'm sure I will. I just hope they work for me like they're working for you. The other eye drops are out of the question. I'm sure that for for many of us, $80 is too much.

Ok... so I'm trying the following drops:

-The Bausch and Lomb drops others are raving about.
-Rohto Cool Maximum relief drops (back in 2010 when we had a shortage, the LR was not avail) - someone mentioned they liked the Rohto drops. I saw them at the store, with a coupon on the bottle, so I figured I'd try.

The B&L drops were soothing going in, very similar soothing sensation to the LR. However, I don't feel as if my eyes were as white as the LR nor for as long. I only tried this ONE day; so I'll continue the test and report on the findings.

The Rohto drops stung so bad initially going in, but almost immediately, there was a soothing sensation that I felt. So far, they are keeping my eyes, what I believe are a little whiter than the B&L. I haven't used these an entire day -- I just started this test today.

Thought I would share this with my fellow LR fans. NOTHING will ever replace LR in IMHO. But these could be viable options.

Thank you, Christina in PA. I'll be awaiting your report.

I keep thinking the lubricant may be what keeps your eyes from staying white (just guessing), although it feels soothing to the eyes.

I wear mascara, and when I used eye makeup remover pads with oil in them, my eyes would get very irritated. Then I switched to the non-oily pads, and everything was copacetic. I just try to keep anything containing oil and moisturizer away from my eyes. Anti-aging creams for the eye area also cause me irritation there.

Visine LR was perfect for me. I was happy as a clam. Now, I'm already in a panic, as I only have two bottles left. I'm SO hoping there is a satisfying alternative solution before I completely run out.

i mentioned in an earlier post that i have tried bausch and lomb and it worked great and better then visine LR. i forgot to post that i tried the Bausch and lomb Opcon-A eye allergy relief version. it stings a little but it works and keeps my eyes white for atleast 8 hours. I have been using visine LR for 16 years and never thought i would find something else that works this great.

I found a local very legitimate "custom prescription" pharmacy that is willing to make oxymetazoline eye drops, equivalent to Visine LR. They can only serve customers in the states surrounding Pennsylvania (where they operate.) and would need a prescription to sell it to a customer. There should be other such pharmacies in other states. If you have an interest, please reply to this post and I will give you the contact information for this pharmacy.

I don't live that far from Lancaster... interesting... but needing a script. Hmmmm, I seriously doubt that my doctor would prescribe a script for eye drops; but I guess it doesn't hurt to try!!

I'm still testing out the other drops I mentioned. The B&L and Rohto work ok. I guess you can say that they do the job... but nothing feels as good as the LR does in my eyes.

Hey, did you try a mixed solution, and if so what was it and does it work? I was thinking maybe just mixing with regular Visine, have you tried?

Dan,

I originally started a petition to ask Johnson and Johnson to Bring Back Visine LR on change.org. I don't know if you have signed it but I am reposting the link below:

change.org/p/johnson-johnson-bring-back-visine-long-lasting-redness-relief-visine-lr

They have not responded to me personally but others have said that Visine LR was discontinued due to manufacturing difficulties and at this time they have no plans to bring it back. We keep trying.

I have tried mixing afrin spray (0.05 Oxymetalazone) with both distilled water and saline eye wash at 1:1 and 1:2 ratio (making 0.25 and 0.13). Both seem to work well.

Correction - That's 0.025 and 0.013 Oxymetalazone.

Just to clarify - Bob please check your ingredients - Afrin and Visine LR 's active ingredient is "Oxymetazoline HCl". I do not find "Oxymetalazone" listed in wikipedia or anywhere else online.

I have used afrin and saline the last time we had this issue and it does work.
