Ophthalmia Neonatorum may be causad by Chlamydia derived from the mother's cervix during delivery.Ophthalmia Neonatorum is the largest cause of blindness in a newborn,especially in the developing world.I must remind you that Chlamydiae infection is usually asymptomatic,so if you think you are infected,get it treated.It responds well to antibiotic.

As many as half of all infants born to mothers with chlamydia will be born with the disease. Chlamydia can affect infants by causing spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), premature birth, blindness, and pneumonia.
