Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, leading to chronic inflammation of the eye. It can cause the inner eyelid to become scarred, resulting in the eyelashes turning inward (entropion) and rubbing against the cornea, which can lead to pain, corneal damage, and ultimately blindness if left untreated. Trachoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. Early treatment with antibiotics can prevent severe complications and preserve vision.
