Poverty, Trachoma And Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills:

According to ORBIS International, 37million people worldwide are blind but 28 million don’t have to be blind. They can get relief for their situation- if only they could afford it or were educated enough to be aware about their condition.

Trachoma, a water-related eye disease is held to be the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness and largely affects those with limited access to water and health care. A child in Sub-Sahara Africa is as much likely to suffer as a person in contact with an affected person in a first world country.

The World Health Organization report at least 6 million people who go blind due to trachoma and 150 million that are in need of treatment.

One of the results of a trachoma infection is a shortening of the upper eyelids which can cause irritation in the cornea. A corrective Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills can provide relief from this condition.

However, there is a 20 percent chance of a revival of this condition among patients particularly if post-surgery conditions are not followed. The disease is such that it can be spread from hand to hand contact and also can affect family members. You don’t have to live in an underdeveloped area to contract trachoma.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has treated a few cases of trachoma through corrective blepharoplasty Beverly Hills and urges you to receive treatment for this potentially harmful disease as soon as you can.
