my brother uses visine l r & it's also the only one that works for him. my mom called visine directly today and they stated that there was problems with the ingredients, i guess obtaining them, and that they are not discontinuing it. they just had a minor set back of some sort with the ingredients. but according to visine it should be back to stores sooner than later!!

This forum has been extremely informative. Thanks to everyone who has posted. When I couldn't find this product in the stores, I was able to find it at drugstore.com before it sold out. Like many others, this is the only redness reliever that works well for me. I've tried the others but without the active ingredient oxymetazoline hydrochloride, it just didn't work. When I discovered that Visine LR might be discontinued, I panicked. I spent countless hours online trying to locate this stuff. I was able to purchase a couple packages of Visine LR from Amazon.com at a ridiculous 400% markup but at least i have a few to get me through the next few months. I received them in the mail today. The last I checked, it was sold out on there too. Every supplier I have checked with says this product is discontinued. If you are struggling to find this product, try ebay but beware of the sellers. Check their rating first. I also found this other product (Zoamet Eye Drops) which has the same ingredients. You can google it but i'm not sure how to buy it. . If you are really in a bind, I found a Visine product sold outside of the country which contains Oxymetazolone Hydrochloride which is the same as Visine LR but marketed as something else at $7.99 for 0.5 oz. Email me and I'll give you more details for you to decide. I didn't want to post the website until I actually receive my order. Good luck.

As of writing this post there is only ONE of the 1/2 oz left in stock on Amazon.com HERE. It's ridiculously overpriced at $22.99, but hopefully it will help somebody out...
Mike - can you reply with the name of the foreign medication and/or a link with more info to where it was obtained from?

Check around for Visine Workplace Eye Drops [1] or Claritin Eye Allergy Relief [2] from Canada - they are supposed to have the same active ingredient and is listed on the Health Canada web site. I myself haven't been able to find any yet but if anyone else has luck please let me know!
"Each mL contains oxymetazoline HCl USP, 0.25 mg (0.025%) in a clear, sterile isotonic, buffered aqueous solution. Nonmedicinal ingredients: benzalkonium chloride, boric acid, disodium edetate, purified distilled water and sodium chloride. The pH is adjusted to approximately 6.4 with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid."

I work at a Wal Mart pharmacy and the product has not been discontinued on our system just no shipping activity at all. I was forced to buy Bausch and Lomb Redness Relief and people it works just as good, I was skeptical but it really does work and for at least 6 hours too.

I found this website way too late! I have been searching for these beloved drops in Ohio for months, and simply thought my drug store ran out. Then I noticed that all stores were out! You don't know how I felt when the last drop was squeezed out of that bottle a week ago. I tried regular Visine....yeah works about as good as tap water.. People don't understand why I'm so upset about this, until I ask them what the one product is that they can't live w o....everyone has one, and this was it for me!! All websites are now out.

OcuClear was the superior product by far. It was a sad day for the consumer when Visine took over the market. It does not work nearly as well as OcuClear. Surely this was a business decision. I would have paid any reasonable price for OcuClear. This is a life lesson for me. Visine BAD.

Same ingredient as Nostrill nose spray. Try pouring that into an eyedrop bottle.

Hahahaha....wow i thought i was the only one that used this stuff. Its the only redness reliever that has worked for me. Other eye drops and other forms of visine actually my my redness/dryness worse. I have been online for hours trying to find the visine LR like you others...hahaha. I panicked and was afraid i was going have to stay home for months. I am going to try the bausch and lomb like others recommended until the visine LR is back on the shelves. thanks so much guys.

I'm also having problem finding Visine LR, my sister uses it and thats the only eye drops that works for her. I went to many different stores and no results. I purchased the new multi symptom eye drops but it doesn't work. I've checked on Amazon, they are out of stock.

Afrin Nasal spray has the same active ingredient (Oxymetalzoline) as Visine LR. I tried it out and it seems to work great. The only difference that I can see between Afrin and Visine LR is that Afrin is double the strength of Visine (0.05% versus 0.025%). So use half the amount (instead of 2 drops, use 1 drop).

migster Says:
I tried the supposedly multisympton but it's crap, it made my eye redder that what it is. I also try the new one that is in a red packaging (kinda like the packaging of the new multi-sympton). Same effect, made my eye redder. None of these have the oxymetazoline HCL ingredient which only works or my eye irritation :( I could not even find it at drugstore.com... it's been replaced with Visine AC. WTH is going on? Is there any other product that has the Oxymetazoline ingredient? HELP!!!

Migster, I have been using the Afrin for a few days now. I think that's your best bet if you want the oxymetazoline ingredient. Afrin seems to be made of the same stuff as Visine LR. Give it a try.

Ditto on the crazy, almost addiction-like behavior with VLR. Its like a support network here. Happy to hear it's not being discontinued but I have found recently that my eyes have stopped being as red as when I was taking the product, a-hem, daily. And nothing does the job, however, like VLR.
