It is one of the major global causes of  blindness that is preventable and is more common in places with inadequate  hygienic conditions and limited access to treatment. Trachoma can spread  through contact with an infected person&#8217;s eyes, eyelids, nose, or throat  secretions. Handling any infected objects, such as handkerchiefs, can  potentially spread trachoma.<\/p>\n<p>Trachoma may initially cause mild eye and eyelid itchiness and  irritation. Pus may then start to drain from the eyes, and your eyelids may get  puffy. This means that the contagious disease primarily affects the  conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the front of the eye, and can lead to  vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated.<\/p>\n <p> In this article, we will explore the details of trachoma, from  its causes and symptoms to its prevention and available treatments.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs and symptoms of trachoma<\/h2>\n <p> It usually affects both eyes, and the symptoms may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Eyes and eyelids  itching and irritation<\/li>\n  <li>Eye discharge<\/li>\n  <li>Eyelid swelling<\/li>\n  <li>Eye redness<\/li>\n  <li>Blurred vision<\/li>\n  <li>Light sensitivity<\/li>\n  <li>Eye pain<\/li>\n  <li>Inverted eyelashes<\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ojaseyehospital.com\/blog\/screen-use-in-the-dark-can-damage-your-eyes-get-expert-advice-at-ojas-eye-hospital-in-mumbai\/\" title=\"Vision loss\"><strong>Vision loss<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Infection is particularly likely to affect young children, but  adults can also be affected.<\/p>\n<h2>Stage of trachoma <\/h2>\n <p> It has been identified that trachoma develops in five stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>The early stage<\/strong>: Appearance of small  bumps or follicles on the inner surface of the upper eyelid that resemble  grains of sand, which can only be seen with magnification.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Inflammation stage<\/strong>: There is intense  inflammation of the eye, causing thickening or swelling of the upper eyelid.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Eyelid scarring stage<\/strong>: Due to repeated  episodes of inflammation, it leads to scarring of the inner eyelid, which can  distort the eyelid and cause it to turn inward distorted and may turn inward  (entropion).<\/li>\n  <li><strong>In-turned  eyelashes (trichiasis) stage:<\/strong> The scarred inner lining of your eyelid causes the  eyelashes to rub on the outer layer of your eye (cornea), leading to scratching  and scarring, and eventually causing the eyelashes to turn inward (trichiasis).<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Corneal  clouding (opacity) stage:<\/strong> Inflammation, which is most frequently observed under your top lid, affects the  cornea. The cornea becomes opaque and cloudy as a result of ongoing  inflammation that is made worse by scratching from the in-turned lashes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Causes and risk factors of trachoma<\/h2>\n <p> There are several risk factors that contribute to the spread of  the infection, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Age<\/strong>: The infection is more common in children as  their immune systems are still developing and they come into contact with  infected individuals or contaminated surfaces more easily.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Sex:<\/strong> Women and girls are more responsible for  household hygiene, which is why they have a higher risk of infection due to  their role in caring for family members and younger siblings.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Flies:<\/strong> Particularly in areas where the flies are in  abundance, they come into contact with contaminated surfaces and then spread  the bacteria to other individuals, increasing the likelihood of transmission of  trachoma.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Poor sanitation: <\/strong>The significant risk  factor for trachoma is the lack of access to clean water for personal hygiene  and washing, which can increase the possibility of infection.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Crowded  living conditions:<\/strong> Limited access to  clean water and sanitation and crowded living conditions contribute to its prevalence,  making it more common in developing regions. It spreads through direct contact  with eye discharge or through shared items like towels and washcloths.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment of Trachoma<\/h2>\n <p> Early treatment of trachoma may help prevent long-term  complications.<\/p>\n<p>  However, more severe trachoma cases could necessitate surgery to  treat scarring on the eyelids or in-turned eyelashes, which can damage the  cornea.<\/p>\n <p> The WHO has created a &quot;S.A.F.E.&quot; approach to prevent  trachoma, which stands for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Surgery:<\/strong> Surgery may be necessary to correct the  condition and prevent further damage to the cornea in individuals with advanced  cases of trachoma who have eyelid scarring or in-turned eyelashes (trichiasis).<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Antibiotics:<\/strong> Antibiotics can be used to treat active trachoma  infections and prevent further transmission of the disease.&nbsp;<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Facial cleanliness:<\/strong> Improved cleanliness  and frequent face washing can help slow the disease&#8217;s spread and lower the  chance of its transmission.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Environmental improvements:<\/strong> Trachoma can be prevented  and controlled by enhancing sanitation, ensuring that everyone has access to  clean water, and reducing the fly\u2019s populations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final thoughts from Ojas &#8211; Eye Hospital in  Mumbai<\/h2>\n <p> Long-term consequences of trachoma must be avoided by early  detection and treatment. Regular eye exams and consultations with an eye doctor  can help in the early detection of trachoma and ensure that proper care is  given.<\/p>\n  <p>With proper education, sanitation, antibiotics, and surgical  interventions, this eye infection can be prevented.
