How is trachoma transmitted?

Trachoma is transmitted through direct contact with discharge from the eyes or nose of an infected person. It can also be spread through contaminated objects such as towels, clothing, or bedding. Additionally, flies can also transmit the bacteria that causes trachoma by landing on the eyes or face of an infected person and then transferring the bacteria to another person.

Trachoma is transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected eye discharge.

- Direct contact: This can occur when an infected person rubs their eyes and then touches the eyes of another person.
- Indirect contact: This can occur when an infected person touches a contaminated object, such as a towel or pillow, and then another person touches the same object and rubs their eyes.
