non specific to any condition but are commonly associated with allergic or bacterial conjunctivitis
Avascular, white-gray nodules typically located in the tarsal and fornix conjunctivitis
Follicles

associated with chlamydia, toxic, or viral infections
Intense itching and photophobia
Bilateral prominent papillae, either on limbus (Trantas Dots) or upper palpebral conj (cobblestone papillae)
