Trachoma is a chronic conjunctivitis caused by repeated infection of Chlamydia trachomatis. It causes inflammation of the conjunctiva and scarring of the tarsal plate, which can turn the eyelashes inward rubbing on the cornea and causing blindness. It is transmitted through direct contact with eye discharge or flies/fingers and occurs more commonly in areas with poor sanitation and water access. Signs include eye discharge, swollen eyelids, and trichiasis. Treatment involves antibiotics and surgery, while prevention focuses on education, improved sanitation, and reducing risk factors.
The corneal diseases are one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. in most cases, these infections are preventable or treatable.
This seminar provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the cornea, as well as an overview of common conditions.

Trachoma History :-
Trachoma was previously known as Egyptian ophthalmia and endemic in the Middle East since prehistoric times.
Name comes from Greek word for ROUGH.
Other name :- Granular conjunctivitis, blinding trachoma, Egyptian ophthalmia
Trachoma is the most common infectious cause of blindness in the world Due to recurrent ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis.
Trachoma is the leading cause of preventable irreversible blindness in the world.
Repeat infection with this organism leads to conjunctival inflammation and scarring, trichiasis, and ultimately blinding corneal opacification
Epidemiology:-The World Health Organization (WHO) reports trachoma is endemic to more than 50 countries, with most blinding trachoma in Africa.
Worldwide, an estimated 2.2 million people are visually impaired as a result of trachoma, of whom 1.2 million are blind.
India has become free from Trachoma-with an overall prevalence found to be only 0.7% in the National Trachoma Survey Report (2014-17).
One of the most developed cities of India, the city of Chennai is the capital of Tamilnadu and many people from different parts of India come here to earn their bread and butter. Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

3. Conjunctiva:
It is the clear mucous membrane covering
the sclera (white part of eye) and interior lining of
eyelids .
It contains many goblet cells which secrets
mucin that keep the eye moist.
Conjunctivitis:
Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the
conjunctiva.
The inflammation of the conjunctiva cause
the eye’s blood vessels to dilate, resulting in
the reddish appearance.
Quick review:
4. Inflammation from active trachoma infection
tarsal plate scarring
eyelashes to turn in.
The lashes rub on the cornea, producing
ulceration, scarring, and blindness
Pathophysiology:
5. Eye discharge
Swollen eyelids
Trichiasis (turned-in eyelashes)
Swelling of lymph nodes in front of the ears
Sensitivity to bright lights
Increased heart rate
Further ear, nose and throat complication
Sign & symptoms:
6. The disease usually occur at :
poor dry areas of the world in which there is
inadequate water supply and poor community
sanitation.
poverty , crowding
Most transmission of trachoma occurs within the
family.
Mode of transmission:
7. Flies: flies go from individual to individual
Fingers: direct contact with ocular discharge
Family: within the family, child to child
3 Fs for transmission:
8.
9. Trachoma Stages
Normal Conjunctiva
(as described earlier )
Trachomatous inflammation follicular
(TF): the presence of five or more
follicles(round swellings that are paler
than the surrounding conjunctiva) in the
upper tarsal conjunctiva.
Trachomatous inflammation intense
(TI): Obvious inflammatory thickening of
the tarsal conjunctiva that obscures more
than half of the normal deep tarsal
vessels.
10. Trachoma Stages cnt
Trachomatous scarring (TS): the
presence of scarring in the tarsal
conjunctiva. Scars are easily
visible as white lines, bands, or
sheets in the tarsal conjunctiva.
Trachomatous trichiasis (TT): at
least one eyelash rubs on the
eyeball.
Corneal opacity (CO): easily
visible corneal opacity over the
pupil. The pupil margin is blurred
viewed through the opacity.
11. Antibiotics : Azithromycin
Surgery : A bilamellar tarsal rotation procedure
is warranted to direct the lashes away from the
globe.Early intervention is beneficial as the rate of
recurrence is higher in more advanced disease.
Lifestyle measures
Treatment:
12. Educate the public
