Learn the difference between papillae and follicles in conjunctivitis in this informative video. In cases of red eyes or pink eyes it is important to examine for papillary conjunctivitis vs follicular conjunctivitis as this can help drive the diagnosis and treatment.
Papillary conjunctivitis appears as red, raised, velvety bumps on the inner eyelid, often caused by contact lens irritation, allergic reactions, or chronic inflammation. In contrast, follicular conjunctivitis shows small, round, dome-shaped bumps, typically on the lower eyelid, and is commonly linked to viral infections or adult inclusion conjunctivitis. Both indicate inflammation but differ in underlying causes and appearance under the eyelid.
