Visine Lr Discontinued? (Page 50) (Top voted first)

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

REPORT

VALIDITY of Eye Drops:

Visine LR used to say "use within 6 months of opening" (I think) but used to work well for a long period.

CENDO is clearly "use within one month of opening the bottle"

Is anyone aware of ALLERGEX / B & L advanced redness reliever OXYLIN & others?

How can I get Visine LR? It's the one that works for my family and I, but no store sells it anymore. Why?

Re: Mark (# 980)

By the way I am just wondering that though we all do miss Visine LR a lot, our INDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS may be a bit different from each other. My problem has not been so much RED EYES, but more of DROOPY EYELIDS, since I wore HARD CONTACT LENSES for for over 20 years (the soft contact lenses didn’t suit my eyes).

I am growing concerned that other sources manufacturing oxymetazoline eye drops may eventually discontinue it as well. There used to be sources selling Zoamet and they are all out of stock. Also, will anyone using nose spray with a lubricant eye drop tell me the exact nose spray brand and ratio? Thank you!

Even if you can find a VISINE LR bottle now, it will surely be well past its validity date. So, will it be safe to use eye-drops which have expired several years ago?

I was looking for something for my eyes irritated by gabapentin. I used to use Murine, but I could not find anything. So, I tried this does everything, but heal blindness, Visine. It made my eyes worse. I'm thinking about trying Similarasin -it is a homeopathic med, and it's eardrops work.

I’ve since replaced visine lr with a dristan nasal spray product mix 50/50 with water.

Works just as good as the old visine did.

Hi,

I have been looking for Oxylin and I cannot find it for sale in any store. I noticed that Allergex, Cendo and Zoamet are also not for sale on ebay. Were they discontinued?

And now? Does anyone know other stores?

I'm getting worried, I can not imagine living without oxymetazoline.

Re: Joao (# 996)

Hi. For ALLERGEX you can try searching: “Allergex Eye drops SA Expat shop"

It should take you to a website where you can pay & order the eye drops.

They follow up on emails as well.

Dear Traci, How was your experience with LUMIFY? Do let us know. Thank you.

My goodness. I'm sitting here, trying to do my little research to find a second eye drop that I can use with Lumify... if I have to purchase it. What I hate about Lumify is the cost. Ten or eleven bucks for eye drops is a lot for me at this time. I'm just barely getting by with the help of a family member. Every penny is precious. I am truly in the poorhouse.

I've liked the Bausch + Lomb brand, so I looked up Opcon-A eye drops and saw a 2-pack on Ebay for like $70. I'm wondering if B+L is doing away with their other eye drops, which, in turn, will force us to purchase Lumify.

I just hope Visine and other companies "get on the ball" and develop other good eye drops that don't cost so much.

I have to get something this week. I still have about a quarter bottle of B+L's "Redness" eye drops and only a few drops left of their "Maximum Redness" eye drops. I'll still look for them in the stores. I'm hoping I'm wrong again and that Walmart is just being super slow to restock them.

I used my Lumify eye drops for the first time today. It's almost uncanny how quickly my eyes brightened. When I looked at them, it brought back the good ol memories of Visine LR. I used 1 drop in each eye like a good girl. With Visine, sometimes I used to feel little "twitches" in my eyes... nothing uncomfortable or irritating. I imagined it was the blood vessels constricting. Anyway, with Lumify, I didn't notice that feeling at all. My eyes also did not experience any dryness. However, prior to using Lumify, I had already used my B+L "redness" drops earlier this morning.

Today I went to Walmart, looking for B+L's Maximum Redness Relief drops. Still gone. I still wanted another eye drop, especially for when I'm hanging around the house. I saw one last carton of Rohto Cooling Eye Drops. I bought them because they contain 0.03% of Naphazoline (like the Maximum Redness drops.)

All the other eye drops on the shelves seem so pitiful. What is the point, you know? They're just sitting there, waiting for a desperate soul who doesn't know any better. But judging by how many Visine and Clear Eyes drops are stocked, it seems most people know they are lousy.

Jhon,

Do you have any eye issues? If not, it could be what is causing those reactions. Thruthfully, I didn't even feel the Lumify working in my eyes in any way.

I'm hoping the folks reading and posting here are getting their eyes examined.

I am past due for an eye exam. My last one was 5 years ago. I can't believe the time flew by so quickly. Anyway, in 2013 my eyes were completely healthy after using oxymetazoline drops daily for most of my life. I had never had my eyes examined before 2013. I only did it because I noticed my eyesight was beginning to fade.

Luckily my exam revealed no signs of disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. The films of my eyes were completely clear. I now have to wear reading glasses, but the doc said it was normal for my aging eyes.

Oops, my mistake. I meant that if you DO have some eye issues, it could be what is causing the negative reactions to Lumify, such as itching, strange sensations in the eyes, worsening vision, etc.

I used my Rohto (max strength redness relief) "cooling eye drops" for the first time yesterday. I REALLY like how they feel in my eyes and they cleared them pretty well (they claim 8 hrs of soothing). They also appear to be selling out. However, I still bought a 2-pack of B+L maximum redness eye drops.

I'm anxious to see what comes next from Visine since Lumify came out and is so effective.

I guess all of us no longer have red eyes since Lumify arrived. I've even received emails from beauty magazines, etc who have tested and reported on its great results. So I think the problem must be solved.

I'm using Lumify, B+L Maximum Redness and Rohto Cooling eye drops. Even though Lumify works with 1 drop in each eye, I still like to use cheaper eye drops to basically rinse my eyes first thing in the morning. What a difference clear eyes make in one's appearance.

I hope we never have a problem like this again.

I think it is much more difficult for companies to thrive because there is so much more out there (via Internet shopping) to choose from. It wasn't like that many years ago. And some larger companies are now faced with tremendous competition.

To Meenal,

I'm really sorry that happened to your eyelids and that Lumify isn't the answer for you.

It sure would be nice if oxymetazoline drops could come back somehow, but I'm not hopeful. I still think plenty of us would go back to oxymetazoline drops. If all I had was Lumify right now, I'd be unhappy. Lumify works for me, but it can't give me that refreshing feeling. I put them into my eyes and can't feel a thing.

I don't remember ever seeing Rohto eye drops before now. As desperate as I was after Visine LR disappeared, I feel certain I would have found them in the stores. On the carton it says they are the "#1 Global OTC Eye Care Brand." They come in a neat, little, flat, clear plastic bottle. So you can easily see how much you have left. The top twists off in a weird sorta way.

Some folks here who like the B+L Max Redness eye drops might care to give Rohto a try.

To Meenal and others here,

I hope I'm not confusing anyone.

Rohto eye drops are basically just like B+L's Maximum Redness Relief drops. The ingredients are similar. When Visine LR and oxymetazoline drops were discontinued, I was looking for eye drops that at least worked better than those horrible Clear Eyes and others. Those are god-awful drops and when I've used them in the past, my eyes became irritated and even redder.

I'm only using the Rohto brand because I like their Cooling Eye Drops. I'm hooked on that feeling they give my eyes. They almost sting at first, but after a while, they don't feel as intense. They wake up my eyes. If not for their cooling sensation, I would just continue solely using the B+L maximum redness eye drops.

For those of you who like Lumify... how long does it last? Lumify does work but only for a few hours. I’m in between jobs right now and only use drops for outings or interviews. The days I don’t leave the house I don’t use anything and my eyes rarely get red. It’s strange. But my point is... I don’t want to keep using Lumify a few times a day once I’m back working. Maybe I’ll just stay home forever. Lol
