Allergic conjunctivitis is one of the most common disorders of the external eye. Hypersensitivity of the conjunctiva to foreign substances is characterized by discharge, redness, itching, irritation, swelling, light sensitivity, and tearing. The tear fluid contains a small amount of eosinophils and histamine. Allergic eye conditions can be classified into four categories. They are hay fever conjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis.
Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is a condition commonly encountered in clinical practice. Much research has taken place aimed at more clearly understanding the pathogenesis of GPC. We review the current literature and discuss the association between GPC and contact lens type, material, and deposits.
