A member asked:
What type of contacts should people who have giant papillary conjunctivitis use?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dailies: Sometimes, no contact lens wear at all (at least a contact lens holiday). But could try reduced wear schedule and dailies (throw away each day), and topical medications prescribed for gpc.

Daily: Avoid long term use of contacts of same contact or wear. Daily contact are a better choice if some one has allergy or papillary reaction.
