Several years ago a doctor recommended over the counter "briny" eyedrops which I found to be helpful in managing "sandpapery" feeling eyes. Now I would like to use these eyedrops again but I cannot remember the name. I seem to recall they started with UR (not sure). Any ideas? ## No eye drops I found started with "UR", but the following are names of eye drops that I felt most closely matched your description: Murine eye drops (these are made from urine) Brolene eye drops Brimo eye drops Could it have been some sort of foreign brand?

Is there an over the counter eye drop that starts with T? ## Based on my research, I only came across two brands that started with a T. I can't say however, if these are the only one's on the market that begin with this letter: -"Tears" Naturale Free Lubricant Eye Drops, 60 Single-Use Vials -"TheraTears" Lubricant Eye Drops, Single-Use Containers TheraTears appears to be a common brand here in the U.S.; so I think it's a good match. Was there anything in particular that was special about this brand of eye drops you're looking for? ## I feels pain in eyeballs with tears. Eyes got reddish and iching. I spend lot of time in computer work. ## Anyone ever heard of eye drops with these names - Luzazone or Visiusmidriatic? I can't get the names right, but I ...

need some OTC drops for conjunctivitis please advise what is available for over the counter ## conjunctivitis is usually caused by a virus or bacteria. you will most likely need eyedrops with an antibiotic in them, not available over the counter. You should try warm, moist compresses, however, going to the doctor for the correct drops is best. ## Yes, please see your doctor. this site does not have any medical professionals on this site, this is an information only website.

replacement for Visine LR ## PLEASE IF THERE IS A REPLACEMENT FOR VLR, LET US KNOW ALL THE DETAILS OF THE EYE DROPS ASAP!!!! ## From what I can discover, it seems it has been discontinued, however, on their website, they list the active ingredient as being Oxymetazoline. Ironically, it is not used in any of their other products. I am not finding a lot of over the counter products that contain it, however, Claritin Eye Allergy Relief Drops have it and so does Ocuclear. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hey, I just found Visine LR at my local Walgreens today! Perhaps they've resumed production. ## Not all Walgreens carry the visine LR, which means that they are just selling what stock they have left. Not sure why visine stopped making this brand. I don't like anything els...

I'll be having cataract surgery soon. Is there a natural eye drop that would act the same as the ridiculously overpriced prescription one? It's an antibiotic. And there are 2 others that are prescribed for inflammation I think....all totally 400+ dollars in the US. Thanks so much! ## Hello, Anna! How are you? No, there is nothing over the counter that would be the same. However, you could explain the expense to your doctor and ask them about possibly prescribing cheaper alternatives. The FDA lists the typical side effects of most eye drops used after such surgery as possibly including eye burning, stinging, redness and tearing. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you. The expense is one thing more on principal, really...gouging comes to mind. However, I'm not on...

what otc eye drops are available to lower eye presure ## list otc eye drops for lowering presure and/or glaucoma ## I'm sorry, but there aren't any over the counter products to treat such a condition. Due to the very nature of the medications used, there are some significant risks associated with them, so they require a doctor's approval and prescription. Learn more glaucoma details here. If you're having trouble affording the medications you need, I can check for you to see if there are any assistance programs available to help. Can you post back with more details, please?

Hi, every morning and through the day my eyes are burning, itching, and really red. I have read up on different vitamins, but was wondering if anyone has the same problem. Thanks Clare ## Lately I have had the same problem. Although an antihistamine helps with the itching, sneezing due to allergy, my eyes are quite red. Checking with my eye doctor, he suggested that my eyes are dry due to time of year and not enough moisture, so I was advised to use lubricating eye drops about 4 times a day. Picked up over-the-counter eye drops. This has helped a lot. ## Clare, I also have to advise seeing an eye doctor, rather than guessing what's wrong and trying to treat it yourself. Your vision isn't something worth risking to guess work. It may be due to allergies and dryness, like the issu...

I woul like to know the name of a small pink pill with a capital G on one side and nothing on the other. Anyone know what this is? ## Hi Frankie, The closest match I've been able to find is Phenylephrine hydrochloride (5mg); which is a round pink pill with the imprint G 55. Maybe the 55 got rubbed off at some point? Manufacturer: Unifirst First Aid Corporation Phenylephrine is used as a decongestant sold as an oral medicine, as a nasal spray, or as eye drops.

It is also used as a nasal spray, an eye drop to dilate the pupil in order to facilitate visualization of the retina, and as a vasopressor to increase the blood pressure in unstable patients with ...
