Trachoma eye infection treatment. Child with a trachoma eye infection about to undergo surgery (scalpel blade at lower left). Trachoma is an infection with Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. The infection is at an advanced stage,causing the eyelid to turn inwards on itself,causing severe pain. Blindness can result if the condition is not treated. The affected part of the eyelid is surgically removed. Normal sight can be restored if the condition is caught early enough.
