Visine LR Alternative is Opcon-A!
I used Visine LR for over 20 years. Since its discontinuation, I've researched many eye drops and their ingredients. The only one that works amazingly, is Opcon-A! The oxymetazoline is absent but nephazoline is just as effective. My eyes are not red and lasts long periods. Thank goodness because I thought I would never find an alternative. ## I agree with Inna. I buy the Opcon-A from Amazon as an alternative to Visine LR. You get two bottles for under $9.00 and it works similar to Visine LR. ## @Inna, I appreciate the heads up on the replacement for Visine LR. There's a actually pretty popular discussion thread here on the topic of Visine LR with many people from around the world searching for an alternative. I think if you were to repost this over there as well, a lot of them w...

Been searching for Visine LR and cannot find it anywhere. HELP! Where can I find it? ## I found some on MedShopExpress but I heard this was not a reliable website. I placed an order for 2 but i am not optimistic that I will actually receive them. Good luck ## I still can't find Visine LR. I've checked all on-line options and my local stores in Northern California. I'd appreciate any tips. I'm very dependent on this product. It's all that helps me anymore. ## I was able to get an equivalent to these eye drops made at a compounding pharmacy. I went to Compounded Solutions in Pharmacy. Their phone number is 203-268-4964. Hope this helps!! ## From what I can discover, it seems it has been discontinued, however, on their website, they list the active ingredient as being O...
