Abstract
Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) was recently observed on the upper tarsal palpebral conjunctiva in soft contact lens patients. Described and discussed is a group of patients who developed GPC. A simple clinical procedure was devised to manage this problem while the patient maintained soft lens wearing time. The procedure included changes in the lens polymer, design, and cleaning regimen, which together enabled the affected patients to continue soft lens wear.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
