Symptom #10: Vision Loss
Scientists have shown that in some cases, chlamydia can even lead to blindness. The bacteria that cause the blindness may be passed on during the infection, causing a condition known as trachoma - a tropical disease that leads to severe pain and turns the eyelids inwards, hurting the cornea, in some cases irreversibly.
If a woman giving birth has chlamydia, it can be passed on to the infant during birth, possibly also leading to blindness. It is very important to practice good hygiene, especially after intercourse, and to get tested regularly. This will assure early and proper treatment.
