WHAT IS GPC?
Giant papillary conjunctivitis is an inflammation or swelling of the papillary conjunctiva of the eyelid. This happens from a type of allergic and mechanical response from chronic exposure to a foreign objects and/or protein build ups. The constant rubbing of the inner eyelid over the edge of the contact, the contact lens surface and material, and deposits on the contacts can cause GPC. We can have a normal papillary conjunctivitis from allergies, but that usually results in smaller “bumps” on the inner lining of the eyelid. This video goes over the main causes, symptoms, and treatments for GPC.

Recommend Treatment:
-Discontinue Contact lens wear
-Some may be able to switch to daily contact lenses, decrease contact lens wear time, and clean contacts better consider clear care as the solution.
-Some may benefit from Allergy eye drops, like Pataday, but some may not as this reaction can more associated with a mechanical irritation.
-Your doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory/steroid eye drop to decrease GPC and inflammation.
