Granular Conjunctivitis

Granular conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids, characterized by the formation of small raised areas or granulations on its surface.

Frequent symptoms: Eye redness, a foreign body or gritty sensation, watering, and discharge.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when the symptoms persist, recur, or affect vision, since some forms require follow-up.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the appropriate professional to examine the eye and specify the type of conjunctivitis. If the eye discomfort does not ease, the most appropriate step is to have an eye specialist review it.
