Trachoma

Trachoma is a potentially blinding eye infection, which has been eradicated in most developed countries. It is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness.

Today, more than two million people are either blind or suffer from a very painful disability because of trachoma. Every 15 minutes someone goes blind from trachoma.
