GIANT PAPILLARY CONJUNCTIVITIS (GPC)
Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is a condition where the inner surface of the eyelids becomes irritated and inflammed. With GPC, large bumps (papillae), appear on the underside of the eyelid.

This condition is most commonly associated with failure to replace soft contact lenses as scheduled or improperly wearing the lens too long.

The symptoms worsen with increased amount of deposits, due to over wearing. Sleeping in your lenses is one of the main contributors in developing GPC.

Contact lenses are a magnificent alternative to prescription glasses. However, improper use of contacts and contact lens over wear can lead to more serious conditions.

NEVER wear them longer than suggested by your doctor. The more you hate your glasses the more careful you need to be with your contacts. Contact lens abuse results in permanent glasses wearing at the least.
