Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share my background to see if anyone can offer tips or help. I have been dealing with GPC (giant papillary conjunctivitis, bumps under eyelid) for over 9 months now after being a long-term contact lens wearer for about 18 years. My eye doctors have treated me with different steroid drops (Lotemax, Zylet, Prednisolone) and allergy drops (Pataday, Pazeo) and I still can't seem to find relief. Along the way, my eye doctor also told me I had dry eyes and could be a candidate for Restasis. He recommended I use non-preservative artificial tears 4 times a day and a gel or ointment at night, which I have been doing. Unfortunately, my right eye is still hurting. Also, every time my doctor tells me I can get back into contacts, I try a daily brand and the GPC flares right back up and hurts worse than before. I would love to be able to get back into contacts as I hate wearing glasses and am terrified of LASIK! Anyone else out there find remedies for this type of situation?
