The patient’s right eye developed swelling and hence, she consulted general physician. She was referred to an eye surgeon who diagnosed giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC). The patient was prescribed two eye drops.
She followed up with the doctor after three months. The condition of her eye showed little improvement. The eye surgeon advised to discontinue the second eyedrop, and increased the dosage of first one.
Event three months thereafter, the condition of patient’s eye did not improve. The doctor prescribed an oral steroid, advised to discontinue the eyedrop and re-prescribed the first eyedrop. But to no avail.
The patient consulted another eye specialist. Cataract to the extent of 60% in the right eye and 40% in the left eye was diagnosed. She consulted the eye surgeon with this diagnosis; the doctor concurred with the findings.
