Pseudovernal conjunctivitis

Authoring team

This may arise from prolonged use of contact lenses, especially soft lenses. The clinical features resemble those of vernal conjunctivitis.

Contact lens wear should be discontinued for 2 or more weeks, and the lens care regimen should be reviewed and changed to a preservative-free lens care system.
