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?

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.

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!!

Reading these posts at least makes me realize I wasn't the only one. I originally used occu-clear for many years until that went away. Luckily, there was Visine LR. Literally, like everyone else here, these are the only drops that made my eyes white. Every other drop actually made them worse - like I just got out of a pool.
I may never understand why only this oxymetazoline works, but it does... and now... nothing left on the market. Talked with the eye doctor several times. Tried all types of drops. Then, one drop of Visine LR and my eyes are clear.
The other drops for Allergies - can't think of the brand I picked up with kieferxxxx or whatever the active ingrediant does work a little. I don't look stoned in the eyes, but not nearly as good as Visine LR...
Do they make a prescription version of this or is there some safety reason for the product going away?

This is absurd! I have been using this product for over six years, and yes this is the only thing that works for my eyes. After searching for hours today in local pharmacies and stores in SoCal, and also looking online for hours I have given up! I guess its time to look for a new product. I just wish that Visine and the folks at Johnson and Johnson had the balls to say that the product is no longer available and either offer a solution or something better. Or at least have the decency to pull it off their website. Such poor customer service!

As with everyone else, I also state that Visine LR has been the ONLY eye drops that has ever worked for me for years. After much searching and comparing, the closest thing that works but may need to be used every 4 hours is Bausch & Lomb Advanced Eye Releif. Contains Naphazoline HCL .03%. Hope this helps.

Just found out the reason. Basically, the manufacturer had a contract to make it but the contract is up now and it won't be renewed or continued, so what ever you can find out there still is it. It's the only good drops out there. Nothing else works.

I've looked everywhere too no Visine LR sighting! I'm done to two drops. I just bought the Original Visine, but didn't open the box. Hoping I will find the LR. This is the only kind that works for me too.

After searching high and low at over 10 different chain stores and pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, etc.), I finally found 5 at a very small grocery store. For whoever is looking like I am - look small or out of the big city to find it.

I have been looking all over Seattle for Visine LR as well. No luck. Today, I just found one bottle at K-Mart and paid $9.99 for a 1/2 oz. bottle. Something is strange. I hope it is just a distribution problem. It is my favorite eye drop. Nothing else comes close.

Does anyone have any updates on this? I am unable to find Visine LR anywhere. Everyone keeps saying the product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

It's possible Visine for red eye Workplace is only available in Canada. Suggest online shopping for US residents.
