replacement for Visine LR
How about in the US? Has anybody had any luck finding it here?
Good to know, I'm going there in a month.
in mexico they carry eye drops with oxymetazoline, grimal and oxylin liquifilm.......
If you are using Afrin, make sure to dilute it with DISTILLED WATER and not regular tap or bottle water. Distilled water is sterile and is what we use at the hospital for compounds requiring water. You would dilute it in a 1:1 ratio. I am a pharmacist.
I have used the LR for years and nothing compares...I'm going to try to pursue the occuclear. I know when this happened back in 2011 that I was able to access the LR for a decent price through the Canadian Pharmacy on-line as well.
oops, I see the solutions now - off to try
Anyone find a solution?
I'm ready to pay $89 on amazon.
regular vision burns my eyes a bit
So what would happen to your eyes if you didn't cut it in half to reduce the amount of Oxymetazoline in the Afrin nose spray from 0.5% to 0.25%?
Simply empty out one of the eye drop bottles you bought that didn't work, rinse it out, pour HALF a bottle of the AFRIN into it and half purified water. Shake it up. Works like Visine LR. Again, I make no representations on safety but it appears to be same stuff and works same for me . ONE bottle AFRIN makes TWO bottles eye drops. Since Afrin is 5% OXY, and Visine LR was 2.5% I cut in half.
how do you cut it with water?
This requires a prescription and I've never spoken with anyone who has used it.
Susan, Thank you for your information and update.
I think because I am the original petitioner on these petitions, Johnson and Johnson
is reluctant to tell me anything. Nevertheless, we keep trying!
I truly appreciate you and all who continue to sign the petition.
Thanks, I signed your petition. I spoke with Visine Customer Care today and was told there was a problem with manufacturer and are currently working on a new formula, whatever that means. Was not informed as to what the problem was with the original product. I am on a list to be notified as to when this new product becomes available. HA.....wonder how many years that is going to take.
For any interested, I have two petitions circulating.
The first asks Prestige Brands to make eyedrops with oxymetazoline:

The second asks Johnson and Johnson to bring Visine LR back:
change.org/p/johnson-johnson-bring-back-visine-long-lasting-redness-relief-visine-lr
Thank you in advance!
Rtrsr,
Did Custom Prescriptions of Lancaster ever respond to you? I have sent several emails asking about eyedrops with oxymetazoline but haven't heard anything from them.
Thanks in advance
See what I wrote on #47
I've been using Visine L.R. for years. Few years back they pulled it from the shelves and later repackaged it, and it became Long Lasting verses Lasting Relief. There's nothing I haven't tried, even the replacement Totality sets my eyes on fire. Please help =(
Here's what I did, Walmart has artificial tears ($3.00) two drops in each eye along with one drop of Afrin, just like Visine LR
I also found another nasal spray with Oxy in it. Drixoral, which has 0.05% Oxymetazoline the same as Claritin. This is in Canada.
