Trachoma Treatment Cost In Izmir

Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by the 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 eventually blindness.
In the early stages of trachoma, treatment with antibiotics alone may be enough to eliminate the infection. The doctor may prescribe tetracycline eye ointment or oral azithromycin (Zithromax). Azithromycin appears to be more effective than tetracycline.
