What Could Cause Whitish Stuff On The Inside Of Eye?

Hi, I ve recently discovered I have giant papillary conjunctivitis. An irritation that i just got a few months ago due to the excessive use of color contact lenses. I have been wearing contacts for more than 5 years now and never had a problem. I have stopped wearing contact lenses for about a week now and I ve notices that I have a whitish stuff on my left eye. My GPC is only on my left eye though. Why is there a whitish stuff on the inside of my eye? Is this a form of my GPC in my left eye healing? Should I be concern? There is no pain whatosoever, but I can feel like it s there.

Prolong use of contact lens gives rise to dry eye. It is alright that you have removed contact. Now you can apply artificial tear drop like refresh eye tear drop two times daily for fifteen days. Slowly you will improve.
