Image Comments:

Trachoma is usually a family affair.Exposure to infected grandparents is considered by many to be the early contact in many trachoma patients. Trachoma is extremely unusual in non-natives who arrive in the endemic area as adults. In the photo the two brothers have trachoma with trachomatous ptosis. It produces the so-called " bedroom eyes " appearance.
