Contact Lens Update

Contact lens induced papillary conjunctivitis.
Signs may range from mild hyperemia of the upper tarsal conjunctiva with a few, small papillae to severe hyperemia with large, raised papillae, which have a cobblestone appearance. CLPC may present as a localized or generalized response. Symptoms include itching and a stringy or ropy mucous discharge. Excessive lens movement or decentration and blurred vision may also occur. Lens material, design or fitting characteristics may need to be modified to prevent reoccurrence of this condition.
