Trachoma

Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.The infection causes a roughening of the inner surface of the eyelids. This roughening can lead to pain in the eyes, breakdown of the outer surface or cornea of the eyes, and eventual blindness.Untreated, repeated trachoma infections can result in a form of permanent blindness when the eyelids turn inward.
