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

I'm so disappointed... I dug down deep and dished out $50 for an expired bottle of Visine LR. It's dated 2/14 and it is really weak. I think the active ingredient has lost quality since it is so old. I have to apply 3-4 drops before I shower and another 3-4 drops after I get out of the shower to see the same results as I was getting with 1-2 drops of my bottle that expired a couple months ago. My previous bottle lasted me 4 months but I'll be surprised if this bottle lasts me 4 weeks! ugh!!!!

Thank you for your post. You are absolutely correct. Spoke with my Pharmacist during the last outage and he verified that it was exactly like nose sprays, once your cold is over you still need the spray so you won't get stuffed up! I too changed to BL redness and it's OK, but not as good as Visine LR. Like you, I have wondered why the "clandestine" nature of discontinued brand. Hmmmmm?

Has anyone tried the Oxylin eye drops yet? I've seen some good reviews online so I bought a bottle. I was wondering what to expect from the product and can't find any reviews on this forum.

I use oxylin liquifilm for about a half year now and it's the same as lr. I'm from Holland and I get it from my doctor.

I mix the Afrin nasal spray that has the 1% Oxy... that is the active ingredient in the Visine L.R. as per an earlier post months ago. I've mixed it with sterile water from a fresh water bottle, mixing 50% and 50%, equaling the .05% you got in Visine. I've had my best results mixing the Afrin with the Oxy in it, 50% with 50% Opcon A drops. both are cheap and you can mix in old visine bottle. Add what looks like half and tilt bottle until level to get the most accurate measurement. Both are available through Amazon cheap. My eyes are red-free all day long.

I'm still currently using B+L Advanced Eye Relief (Redness Maximum Relief). Still no comparison to the oxymetazoline eye drops. The B+L works okay as long as I've rested well and have no irritants in my eyes... but on "THOSE DAYS," the ones when I'm tired and I've awakened with deeply bloodshot eyes, the B+L is pretty useless, though still better than nothing. I have to reapply the eye drops throughout the day and my eyes never truly brighten to what Visine LR got them to.

And what about people who are straining their eyes by reading and looking at computer monitors all day? I'm not working right now, but I feel very self conscious about what I will look like when I return to the workplace.

I did too... but it was OK. Thanks for my laugh of the day!

Just want to let people know that Oxylin works as well, dare I say even better than LR. Tried it last week for the first time, very relieved.

I think everyone on this thread is mixing too much Afrin with their generic artificial tear drops. I only use about 25 to 75% ratio Afrin to tears and still get a great result. Anymore than that however, and it burns my eyes.

Have just left prison, where you cannot get anything good (and you still pay an arm and a leg on canteen!) and wanted to go back to Visine LR. (I had survived the last shortage 10 years or so ago. Looked all around now and found many references to Oxylin by Allergan, but only sold outside the US. Does look like i can get a source from South Africa (don't trust Indian manufacture.) Did talk to Allergan in CA this afternoon, and hope to hear back Monday. Will let you know what I find out!

Hi Rabbi,

I tried to order Oxylin from South Africa. It made it to the U.S. just fine but the freight company wanted me to fill out a form required by the FDA regarding the shipment. One requirement was my social security number. I just didn't feel comfortable with that and wasted my good money to have the freight company return the product. I have tried Zoamet and it works fine with a little initial stinging. What I like even better is Allergex! I have ordered two bottles from a seller on ebay and it works fantastically! The prices are coming down a bit as there seems to be a number of sellers.

I was using B & L max relief which in my opinion is the next best eye drop without oxymetazoline but it just doesn't live up to drops with oxy.

Hello, I'm Portuguese and unfortunately my English is not the best.

However, I want to make known the experience I have in the use of eye drops with oxymetazoline. I started using Alerjon for eight years, put only one drop in every day and had white eyes. I was super happy. After three or four years of use, it has been discontinued. I was only 14 years and then knew nothing about vasoconstrictor or of active substances. So I went to a pharmacy and asked for a colirio to remove red eye. Obviously it failed. I tried all they had on the market and no obtia result. I had a few months into depression because awakened with eyes blood. I was seeing five or six ophthalmologists and they prescribed dexamethasone, and only this allowed me going out, but the eye was still red. I was very popular at school, but at the moment everything started to say that I walked to smoke herb because it looked like a drugged authentic.

One day a friend of my mother (pharmaceutical), arrived at my house and gave me the Oxylin and said he would solve my problem. I told him I did not believe and had no hope. Well, I was incredibly surprised with the result. The Collyrium is absolutely wonderful. Woke up with eyes in blood and feathers eat one drop in each eye they were incredibly white. I became happy, so it is good to leave home with the feeling of having white eyes. However they spent four years of happiness and colirio was discontinued. That's why I found this site. I can not live without oximetazoline, the Oxylin is absolutely fantastic, if you have to pay dearly for it has no problem. I have here even a bottle that had pleased as a reserve, the problem is that the term ends later this month, will have problem in using it? For all who suffer from this problem and have the opportunity to buy the Oxylin, experience is very good. Is there a safe place to buy it?

I got some Oxylin online and they work the best out of everything out there. I also had good results with the Allergex and highly recommend them as a replacement. Zoamet works very well but burns a little when you put it in and they leave your eyes somewhat glassy. All three of these products are over the counter.

Try Bausch & Lomb Advanced Eye Relief it really works well or as good as Visine LR.
It's at Walmart and cost less than $3. My eyes are white again.

I'm finally down to my last droplets of Visine LR... maybe just a few more times to use it. The bottle expired in September and I've been eking it out all this year. I only use it when I really need it--like for a job interview. Visine LR was a good friend all these years and I am sad to have to part with it.

I've certainly done my best. I fought the fight. I've written all kinds of letters to different manufacturers... to no avail. As long as our economy is in the dumps, I don't think any company is willing to take a chance and produce eye drops containing oxymetazoline in it. With globalization and the competition it brings, I think most companies are hurting. That's why most every product you buy, gets "cut down" in some way. They start removing certain ingredients and changing the original product. I've purchased newly created creams that were cut down in a matter of months. You're loving it and then one day you buy it and it's not the same cream.

The B + L's Advanced Eye Relief is probably the next best eye drops on the shelves, but, for me, there is still a big difference. If my eyes become really tired and red, the B + L provides minimal results. Plus, the results don't last very long.

Also, compare the prices. You can purchase 2 bottles (as I always do) of B + L for a "little of nothing." And you can believe you are getting what you paid for.
