Stage 5 is the end-stage of trachoma, defined by the development of corneal opacity (CO). At this point, the cornea has progressively lost its transparency, with visual impairment and blindness as the clinical consequence.
Stage 5 trachoma is characterised by corneal opacity (CO): the cornea gradually loses its transparency, leading to visual impairment and, ultimately, blindness.
The structured protocol documents the evidence-based approach to stage 5 trachoma with established corneal opacity. Access the full regimen below for the complete clinical guidance applicable to this presentation.
