The global giant papillary conjunctivitis market has been witnessing significant growth owing to the rising prevalence of several eye disorders across the globe. Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is an inflammatory condition of the outermost layer of the white part of the eyeball and the inner surface of the eyelids which is characterized by the development of red, fleshy bumps on the eyelid margins and bulbar conjunctiva. GPC causes severe itching, irritation, discharge, watering, light sensitivity, and discomfort in the eyes. Several factors such as prolonged use of contact lenses, blepharitis, atopic dermatitis, infections and allergies can increase the risk of developing GPC.
