Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue entitled "Trachoma and Its Management" presents a comprehensive exploration of current research and strategies aimed at addressing the challenges posed by trachoma in regions where it remains endemic. Encompassing epidemiological studies, innovative interventions, community engagement approaches, and technological advancements, the collection provides a holistic view of the efforts to understand, control, and manage trachoma. From analyzing disease prevalence and risk factors to showcasing effective treatments and emphasizing the crucial role of community involvement and health systems, this Special Issue serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and researchers dedicated to mitigating the impact of trachoma and improving eye health on a global scale.
