Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis – A Review

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 1999
ABSTRACT.First described in 1974 by an Australian ophthalmologist Dr. Spring, Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC) is one of the external ocular allergic conditions. It is most often associated with contact lens wear, but has also been described in patients with ocular prostheses and corneal sutures following surgery.

Caution Regarding Treatment of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1986
To the Editor. —Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is an inflammatory condition characterized by large papillary excrescences of the upper tarsal conjunctiva. 1 It has been associated with the wearing of soft and rigid contact lenses, which is often discontinued because of ocular discomfort.

Giant papillary conjunctivitis.

Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 1995
Giant papillary conjunctivitis is a syndrome found frequently as a complication of contact lenses. Many variables can affect the onset and severity of the presenting signs and symptoms. Rigid gas permeable contact lenses appear to result in less severe signs and symptoms, with a longer time before the development of giant papillary conjunctivitis ...

Association of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis with Seasonal Allergies

Optometry and Vision Science, 1990
ABSTRACT Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is largely a soft contact lens‐related syndrome, characterized by the formation of giant papillae on the upper tarsal conjunctiva, itching, excess mucus, erythema, and contact lens intolerance.

The Clinical Management of Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

American journal of optometry and physiological optic, 1981
Abstract Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) has recently been observed on the upper tarsal palpebral conjunctiva in soft contact lens patients. This article describes and discusses a group of patients who developed GPC. From these observations, a simple clinical procedure was devised to manage this problem while the patient ...

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis With Ocular Prostheses

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1980
To the Editor. —I read with interest the article by Srinivasan et al in the MayArchives(97:892-895, 1979) and congratulate them on adding further to our knowledge of this interesting but enigmatic disorder. I would like to draw attention to a paper read at the 1978 annual meeting of the Ophthalmological Society of the United Kingdom1in which we ...

Contact Lens Chemistry and Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2003
To review the relationship between contact lens chemistry and the occurrence of giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC).A review of the literature.GPC can occur with any type of contact lenses. The coating on the lens and the contact lens trauma to the conjunctiva are probable factors. Changing the polymer of the contact lens that a patient with GPC wears

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis Associated with Elevated Corneal Deposits

Cornea, 1990
A patient presented with central corneal scarring and neovascularization associated with elevated deposits that were shown to be keratin and calcium. Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) was noted at a corresponding location in the palpebral conjunctiva. The lid reaction resolved after the elevated corneal deposits were debrided.

HPLC analysis of tear proteins in giant papillary conjunctivitis

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1989
Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is a well defined entity seen in patients with deposits on their lenses. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tear protein analysis was performed on 17 GPC patients and compared with healthy controls with and without contact lenses.

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis and Ptosis in a Contact Lens Wearer

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1979
A case of ptosis due to giant papillary conjunctivitis in a 24-year-old female is described. The contact lens was removed and the ptosis disappeared. A possible etiology is discussed.
