infectious disease caused by the bacterium “Chlamydia trachomatis”. The infection causes the inner surface of the eyelids to become rough leading to pain in the eye‚ breakdown of the cornea and possible blindness.

Children are the most susceptible to infection due to their tendency to easily get dirty‚ but the blinding effects or
