Abstract
- Giant papillae of the upper tarsal conjunctiva have been found in vernal conjunctivitis and, more recently, in giant papillary conjunctivitis in patients with contact lenses. Two patients who received cataract surgery were found to have unilateratgiant papillary conjunctivitis which were supposed to be induced by protruded suture end(10-0 prolene). Eosinophil was not found in the conjunctival scraping from giant papillae of the patients. Giant papillae of tarsal conjunctiva were resolved by removal of protruded sutures.
