10 Chlamydia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Eye Infection
Even the eye can get infected by chlamydia if, for example, you touch your eye with the bacteria on your hands. You will notice the same symptoms as you would with other eye infections, such as a burning feeling, discharge or eye redness. Sometimes even the lymph nodes near your eyes are enlarged.
Usually this also goes away by itself, but if not, there are eye drops that contain antibiotics to fight the bacteria near and in your eyes. It is best to prevent these eye infections by not touching your eyes without prior washing of hands, especially prior, during or after sexual intercourse.
