Tracitis? :-/: Don't know what tracitis is. Do you mean tracheitis? Trachoma? Trichiasis? Assuming you mean trichiasis, you have some lashes that are growing out of your eyelids the wrong way, causing your eyeball to be scratched by them. They can be plucked, but the underlying problem of chronic blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) must be addressed, which can take months.

Trichiasis: Misdirected eyelashes (trichiasis) or eyelashes growing from the wrong place (distichiasis) that invert and rub on the surface of the eye (cornea), are very irritating. The symptoms of scratchiness, tearing and pain are common. Sometimes it can lead to a corneal abrasion, infection and scarring. The lashes can be epilated (pulled). If they recur then electrolysis or minor surgical procedure.
