Answer 1

Yes, you can develop Chlamydia eye infections.

Chlamydia trachomatis is the species of bacteria that causes these infections. This bacteria can infect the eyes and reproductive tracts.

Often, you see ocular chlamydia in newborn infants. they contract it during childbirth as they pass through their mother's infected vagina. This is why you need to get tested for STDs when pregnant. You don't want a current infection while you're giving birth. Babies can go blind if they get chlamydia in their eyes.

In adults, it can happen from poor hygiene. In developing countries (like parts of sub-Saharan Africa) where water supplies are unsafe and people can't wash or bathe as much, ocular chlamydia is a common cause of blindness. The infection gets into the eye and persists for months, causing swelling and thickening of the eyelids. The eyelids deform and force the eyelashes to point inward, where they tear up the eyes with every painful blink (imagine dragging a rake across a smooth piece of land). The eye becomes severely damaged and the person is rendered completely blind.

In more developed countries like the US, you can get ocular Chlamydia if you get infected sexual fluids in your eye. In pornography, it's called "the money shot" or a "facial." If infected semen gets in the eye, the eye can get infected, too. The infection resembles pinkeye and is often treated with the same drugs (cephalosporin antibiotics, usually delivered as eyedrops). If untreated, it can lead to blindness (as I described earlier).

Chlamydia is EASY to cure. It is EASIER to prevent. Always wear a condom duing sex. Always get tested every 6 months.

Someone who has touched their fluids (vaginal fluid or semen), didn't wash their hands and touched the baby's eye or the baby's hand and then the baby touched its eye. Get it taken care of ASAP. It's dangerous for a baby.

Answer 7

this is TRUE - it's called eyelamydia, and I have it... I am legally blind, and can barely see to type on the computer... the only cure for this is wacking off every night - so, while i'd love to help you more, I gotta go take my medicine!
