Headline India: "Eyes that need weep no more" by Homer Page, 1959 
Description In 1959 it was estimated that nearly 400 million people suffered from trachoma. Though this eye infection does not kill, it can last a lifetime if untreated. Its victims often become blind. 



In India, trachoma was the largest single cause of preventable blindness. In some rural areas of Northern India the infection rate was as high as 80-90 per cent of the total population. A WHO-assisted pilot project trachoma team based at the Gandhi Eye Hospital in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, visited the region village by village, examining patients and organizing antibiotic treatment, and carrying out research to determinate the ways in which infection spread.



The methods of attack proved effective in preventing blindness but complete control of trachoma and associated bacterial conjunctivitis requires the support of long-term health education and environmental sanitation programmes. 
This young girl living in the village of Manzurgarhi was doomed to lose her sight had she not received treatment in time.
