A member asked:

Giant papillary conjunctivitis isn't going away, what do you recommend?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

See specialist: Most giant cell conjunctivitis is associated with contact lens use (often misuse). The treatment is to discontinue contact lenses and treat the inflammatory reaction. It often takes several weeks for this to get better. If it does not, then see a corneal and external disease ophthalmology specialist.
