replacement for Visine LR
Yes your right there are others so let's form a pack!
Couldn't find Afrin Nasal Spray but did find Claritin Nasal Spray with Oxy as an ingredient. It works great!
This really does work. I mixed just as you said and my eyes are white and feel fine. Don't waste your money on E-bay buying Visine LR at the ridiculous prices they are charging!
I do, I just cut it in half with water to get back to .025%. Works same.
I'm buying one bottle Afrin Nasal Spray, Oxy is .05% and cutting in half. Works same as Visine LR. Seems to be same stuff. Don't know about safety issues but it works. Otherwise as one poster so eloquently wrote "I look like a monster".....
Micky please read message 44 below your inquiry.
I have used Visine LR every day for the past 35 years and it is the only eyedrop that works for me to relieve redness. So I have switched to Afrin nasal spray which contains the same Oxymetazoline HCl active ingredient as Visine LR, but at 0.05% rather than 0.025%. I just use fewer drops in each eye with Afrin and it relieves redness in my eyes the same way as Visine LR. Try it and see. It works!
I haven't used Claritin, but I read, somewhere online, that it uses the oxy ingredient that LR had. I haven't been able to find it though.
Rtrsr,
I sent them an email but haven't received any response. I think there are many on the other discussion page on this website, see: Discuss/Visine-LR-Discontinued-200960.htm
...that would be interested in working with Custom Prescriptions. Maybe you can post the information for them there as well?
Also, Ray, I haven't heard of Claritin eyedrops. Did you use them in the past?
Christina, did you ever get a hold of Custom Prescriptions? Even if your compounding pharmacy will not make the eye drops, these people will do it if we can get enough people interested to hold the cost down per bottle.
Very disappointed that Visine discontinued LR. It was the only drop that worked well for me. Apparently it was not a big seller. Based on these messages and the fact it's very expensive online, it's pretty clear there is a big demand for it.
Has anybody been able to find Claritin? It supposedly has the same formula as LR.
I cannot believe they have discontinued Workplace Visine. I have been using it for 10 years due to an eye-surgery on my right eye and it is the only drop that relieves the redness. So frustrating...please bring it back!!
Rtrsr,
Thank you :)

rstr,
I checked with my compound pharmacy and they do not make eyedrops at all.
I would like the contact info of your pharmacy just to see if they know of any pharmacy here in California that might be able to help. Thank you in advance.
I found a local very legitimate "custom prescription" pharmacy that is willing to make oxymetazoline eye drops, equivalent to Visine LR. They can only serve customers in the states surrounding Pennsylvania (where they operate.) and would need a prescription to sell it to a customer. There should be other such pharmacies in other states. If you have an interest, please reply to this post and I will give you the contact information for this pharmacy.
Bring back Visine LR. It was the ONLY eye drop that worked for me. J&J can raise the price if the issue was profitability. I'm sure many of us would be willing to pay more to have it.
Do you use it straight or do you mix it with something?
If anyone is so inclined, please sign the petition via the link posted below asking Prestige Brands to produce eyedrops with oxymetazoline. They currently make Nostrilla, which is a nasal spray with this main ingredient.

Thank you!
