A member asked:

Tell me about giant papillary conjunctivitis, (symptoms, medicine, and treatment to get rid it). can it only make eye itching without red/hurt/watery ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GPC: Gpc is most often associated with overwear of contact lenses, especially if they are poorly fitting. They cause redness and irritation and contact lens intolerance. We use artificial tears and a contact lens holiday (no lenses) for a week or two, then a careful contact lens re-fit is needed.
