Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 46)

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

REPORT

Just so curious. I had the TV on this morning and saw a segment of QVC. A makeup artist was applying and selling makeup. She had these beautiful young models sitting in her chair. The camera did closeups and I noticed how bright all of the ladies' eyes were. They were wearing mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow. I really noticed a model with beautiful blue eyes. Anyway, the whites of their eyes were SO bright! I know the models were young, but they are obviously using something to get their eyes that white. Hmm... I wonder if I can find out somehow.

Rick - would you mind to list the ingredients of the Artificial Tears that you are using? I don't have that store in my area and I found several ATbottles that have different ingredients. If I knew what your active ingredients were, that would greatly help me! Thank you so much.

Rhonda -- that's a good point, I would call the home shopping channel and ask.

Just want to say - Thanks Rick for posting the Afrin mixture. I used afrin and walgreens artificial tears. Works great!

Tim... glad to hear that it's working for you. Having bloodshot eyes makes me so self conscious and this is the only ingredient that has ever helped me. I'm so relieved I don't have to rely on Visine any longer :)

Hi all. Just wanted to let anyone from Canada know that I ordered 10 bottles of Allergex from Expatshop and it could not have gone smoother. Paid around $120 (cdn) for 10 bottles (including air shipping) and they arrived in about a week. Works just as well as Visine Lr (Workplace to us Canadians). Don't pay those crazy ebay prices!

Hi Fred- I actually like Allergex. Do they ship to US?

Yes Allergex works well & the South African Expat shop has a good website , a fairly good website . It took 4 weeks to courrier it to India but that is also because of India Customs restrictions are time consuming.
So this seems a good option. I use Visine A for short term purposes & Allergex when I need to look bright-eyed for a longer period - ie. 6 hrs !

When you guys ordered from South African Expat shop did you have to email them your Paypal email address for billing? I find that a little odd.

Nope. I actually bought one of those prepaid visa cards because I was a little nervous. I just entered in the visa information in the payment section on the checkout page and it was all good.

Todd,

Did you receive it? I could not find the website to place an order.

I received the package yesterday so it took about 9 days. It was well package in both bubble wrap and Styrofoam. It was in a small cardboard box with lots of South African stamps. The Allergex had an expiration date of Nov 2017 and was sealed. This was a test run so now that it was successful, I'll purchase a half dozen more. Much cheaper than purchasing on other sites. Christina, google the name. You will find it. Good luck and report on your progress.

This is really good news.... because I like Allergex and I believe it's safer than trying to make your own (although I am about to try it using the Walgreens Artificial tears). It's also cheaper than other options. The good thing with my last purchase, was the seller came back to offer me Allergex at a discount which roughly equated to 25 a bottle instead of the normal selling price. I thought that was a "decent" deal, considering all things. No hassles with going to get a prepaid card, no waiting, no wondering and the product came in tact. I think I'll be going to go get that pre-paid card!

Just found the s thread, feeling the same 'no LR or Workplace' pain as everyone else..! I am a CDN expat living in US and the last two bottles I ever saw on a shelf were the Workplaces I bought on a trip to Canada in April 2015. About to run out last year, I remembered how once back in the '80s using a nasal spray whitened my eyes, and noticed at the time the ingredient was the same as my beloved Ocu-Clear eye drops. I took the chance first with undiluted Afrin (Original Formula, red cap) and really had no problem after about 6 months, I was just concerned about long term use at that strength.

So, for the last while I have been 1:1 mixing Afrin with my favorite artificial tears, Kroger grocery store brand (their Nasal Decongestant is also excellent for this purpose, the bottle is same shape and style as Afrin, no gels or mints, and on sale, both the tears and nasal spray are super cheap) - concentration is thus 1/2 the nasal spray, 0.025% - works like a charm, 1-2 drops each eye, just mind your clean technique (to mix as previously mentioned, but also to handle the bottle while using it)
Every 2 months or so it costs about $15 total to buy one nasal spray and two eye drops; discard half the drops from each bottle and mix my batch, a bottle for each of the coming two months. Now just wondering when Afrin goes off the market...!

Has anyone used the new product by Clear Eyes called Pure Relief that uses the decongestant Phenylephrine Hydrochloride for the redness reliever? This is the first time I have seen this ingredient in an eyedrop. Could it be as good as Visine LR with oxymetazoline? Anyone who has used it please share your thoughts.

I'm ready to try Allergex but the total is $269 after shipping and handling. Is that $269 in US dollars?

To Jeff and everyone else that asked the question if anyone tried the Clear Eyes drops with Phenylephrine Hydrochloride in them (US 9.95 each at Walmart). I was curious and tried them. OMG -- I didn't realize how RED my eyes were by mid-afternoon. HORRIBLE drops. I'm returning them to get my money back. Don't recommend! Regular Visine works better than that crap.
