This requires a prescription and I've never spoken with anyone who has used it.

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.

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%?

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.

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.

So Mark, does the dropper part on the top of the bottle just pop on and off so you can do the mixture in the eye dropper bottle?

Exactly. One bottle Afrin becomes TWO bottles VISINE when you dilute by 50%

Hello rtrsr,
Thanks for the info about Lancaster! I just spoke with Jill from Custom Prescriptions today. She said they can make the product and pulled up a file that said they made it back in Dec (which I imagine was for you since you posted in Dec). She "couldn't" quote me on a price at the time but told me she could call me after they received my script to let me know what the cost will be before they made the product. She also said they could ship it out to me near Pittsburgh. I've talked to a eye doctor today and have an appointment set up for next week. He said he could put the visit on my insurance if it is a "allergy condition" so I should only have to take care of the copay to get the script. I was just wondering how much this venture will cost me in the end...
Can you tell me how much the eye drops will cost for how much volume?
Thanks in advance!

Christina,
I spoke with CUSTOM PRESCRIPTIONS OF LANCASTER today. Call them at the number listed on their webpage. They have made the eye drops and will make them if you have your doctor send them a prescription. They will even mail the drops out to you. I'm just not sure of the price of the product.

Alex, doesn't Afrin have alcohol in it? Won't that be bad for your eyes? Have you been using it successfully?

Just ran out of my last bottle...didn't even realized the LR had beed D/C'd. I'm an optometrist and would suggest diluting the Afrin with artificial tears like Systane vs. Distilled water. Most eye drops are saline based and have PH balanced solutions. I'm going to look into the possibility of developing something for my sister who is a pharmacist to see if the locals can come up with a solution. Bummer.
