Immunohistochemical findings in prosthesis‐associated giant papillary conjunctivitis

Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2007
AbstractPurpose:  To identify functional subsets of inflammatory cells and expression of cytokines in the conjunctiva of patients with ocular prosthesis‐associated giant papillary conjunctivitis (P‐GPC).Methods:  Specific immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal antibodies was performed on biopsy specimens obtained from superior tarsal conjunctiva

Vernal Conjunctivitis and Contact Lens-Associated Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis Compared and Contrasted

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1979
We compared quantitative histologic counts of ten subjects with vernal conjunctivitis to counts of 15 subjects with contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis and to counts of 15 normal subjects. Both vernal conjunctivitis and contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis subjects had abnormalities of mast cells in the epithelium ...

Contact lens associated giant papillary conjunctivitis

Clinical Eye and Vision Care, 1999
Abstract Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is an ocular inflammation which is often, but not exclusively related to contact lens wear. The symptoms include itchy eyes, ocular discomfort, reduced contact lens tolerance and blurred vision. The signs of GPC are large conjunctival papillae, excess mucus production and hyperemia.

Giant papillary conjunctivitis: A review

The Ocular Surface, 2020
Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC), which is characterized by the development of "giant" papillae on the superior tarsal conjunctiva, is a common complication in contact lens wearers. This condition can be associated with excessive mucus production, itching, blurry vision, and diminished contact lens tolerance.

GIANT PAPILLARY CONJUNCTIVITIS

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 1997
Contact lens wearers with giant papillary conjunctivitis report a variety of symptoms, including decreased lens tolerance, increased lens awareness, excessive lens movement, increased mucus production associated with ocular irritation, redness, burning, and itching.

Giant papillary conjunctivitis

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2008
Despite shorter replacement intervals and new lens materials, giant papillary conjunctivitis still limits the ability of some patients to wear contact lenses.Recent research has elucidated many new mediators of inflammation. The presence of chemokines and cytokines such as IL-8, IL-6, IL-11, macrophage inflammatory protein-delta, tissue inhibitor of ...

Unusual Causes Of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

Cornea, 1993
We report two unusual causes of giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC). One patient developed GPC secondary to and elevated filtering bleb. Another patient developed focal GPC secondary to elevated calcific plaques (band keratopathy). The first patient's symptoms improved after treatment with sodium cromolyn drops.

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis With Ocular Prostheses

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1979
In seven patients who each had either a methyl methacrylate corneal shell, a postenucleation ocular prosthesis, or a keratoprosthesis, giant papillary conjunctivitis of the tarsus of the upper lids developed after prolonged wear. These cases expand the spectrum of disease that was initally described in wearers of hard and soft contact lenses.

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis after Keratoplasty

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981
Giant papillae of the upper tarsal conjunctiva have been found in vernal conjunctivitis and, more recently, in giant papillary conjunctivitis in patients with contact lenses. A similar syndrome occurred in 11 patients who had undergone penetrating keratoplasty with interrupted nylon sutures.

Cromolyn Treatment of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1982
Five patients with symptomatic giant papillary conjunctivitis were treated with topical cromolyn sodium eyedrops. All patients responded favorably with relief of symptoms. Four of the patients who were subsequently examined while receiving cromolyn therapy had less prominent giant papillae on the upper tarsal conjunctivae.
