Answers
Answer:
Trachoma is a disease of the eye caused by infection with the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.
It is a public health problem in 44 countries, and is responsible for the blindness or visual impairment of about 1.9 million people.
Blindness from trachoma is irreversible.
Based on March 2020 data, 137 million people live in trachoma endemic areas and are at risk of trachoma blindness.
Infection spreads through personal contact (via hands, clothes or bedding) and by flies that have been in contact with discharge from the eyes or nose of an infected person. With repeated episodes of infection over many years, the eyelashes may be drawn in so that they rub on the surface of the eye, with pain and discomfort and permanent damage to the cornea.
