Contact Lenses and Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis
Overview
Wearing contact lenses is generally a safe and comfortable experience, but neglecting proper care can lead to serious issues. One potential problem is Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC), which can result from improper lens hygiene.
Understanding GPC
GPC occurs as an allergic reaction to either the lens material or the cleaning solution used. If you've been inconsistent with cleaning and disinfecting, it's crucial to pay attention, as protein deposits can trigger this condition.
Symptoms and Solutions
GPC can cause the formation of white bumps (giant papillae) inside the upper eyelids, and if left untreated, may lead to scarring that prevents further lens use. Changing either the lenses or the cleaning solution can offer relief, but it may be necessary to stop wearing lenses altogether. For some, LASIK surgery might be a suitable alternative.
Managing and Preventing GPC
Although GPC can be serious, it doesn't mean you'll never wear contacts again. By following specific precautions, you can reduce the risk of recurrence:
- Opt for lenses with low water content and ensure strict hygiene.
- Consider switching to gas permeable lenses to minimize the risk.
- Certain stabilizing agents can also help control inflammation.
The Importance of Prevention
Preventing GPC starts with proper care. Regular cleaning and replacement of lenses are vital, as protein deposits can't be fully removed. By changing your lenses frequently, you reduce the chance of developing GPC.
Conclusion
GPC can pose significant challenges for contact lens users, but with careful attention to hygiene and proper lens care, you can enjoy wearing contacts without worry. Stay proactive with your lens maintenance to avoid complications and enjoy lasting comfort.
