Abstract: Conjunctival papilloma is one of the most common ocular surface tumors, and it can affect visual function in severe cases. Pharmacotherapy or surgery combined with pharmacotherapy has the advantages of wide coverage and a relatively low recurrence rate and is gradually becoming a trend to replace surgical treatment. Available topical drugs include interferon alpha-2b, mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil, dinitrochlorobenzene, bevacizumab, etc. Oral cimetidine is also used for conjunctival papilloma management. This article reviews the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy (local medication and intraoperative combination application) for conjunctival papilloma. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47: 203-209)
