Eye Drops With Oxymetazoline (Page 6) (Top voted first)
Updatedreplacement for Visine LR
Haven't heard a thing from Vizine.
I'm with Mark, the only thing that's worked for me is half nazal spray with Oxy and half distilled water. Still burns like hell but only for about 10 seconds or so. Not sure of the risks with using this but it works for me.
I use Oxymetazoline nasal spray @ .05 percent but spray it on my eyes. It's way cheaper and has an airbrushing action. It works. Not that I would ever condone off label usage of any product. Don't try it but it works.
I use Afrin all the time... no problems at all and works great! Thank god. I was in a panic when I knew I couldn't get the VLR anymore. Afrin even works better.
I'm finally down to my last bottle of Visine LR. I have already spent hundreds of dollars trying other eyedrops and they all irritate my eyes, even the drops from the eye doctor cause me irritation.
The foreign made eyedrops, Cendo Asthenof and Zoamet both bother my eyes after a few uses. I am desperate for something to use as my eyes get really red, dry, and swollen without the Visine LR. How safe is Afrin and can it be used without diluting it?
The funny thing about this forum is we haven't all asked --what is this ailment we all seem to share? I have been to numerous eye doctors and they all say my eyes are basically fine. I get regular checks when I get contact lenses renewed, and always perfect eyes. And yet, when I wake up, my eyes are red and feel terrible. But two drops of the magic Visine LR and I am OK for the whole day. I still have about 10 bottles left, but they are all expired! I wonder what is worse-- using expired LR drops or starting on the Afrin/distilled water mix! Any thoughts?

Update: Been using this for 5 months now. Just one drop does the trick and still working well.

I’m sure the reason for this is the new drug for prosit that is our it’s way expensive. Pharma is trying to epilate an affordable option
I actually felt I HAD to have the Visine LR and even tried the Afrin mix route as well. I started using Clear Eyes Maximum Redness Relief and find that I like them even better than the Visine LR, even though there is a different ingredient for redness removal!
Please resume Visine with oxymetazoline..works great...
Heard that India will win the contract and start making eye drops with it in it. But it won't be overnight and we'll lose more jobs and research to that section of the world. We will be losing lots of stuff we like. But that's what we want, a 3rd world socialized world. Vote more Obama's in ..... just the beginning of the end. In a 3rd world country nobody cares if your eyes are red. There's only very rich and very poor.
