A member asked:
Can i still wear my prescription glasses that i wore when i had trachoma even after it is cleared? should i disinfect? if not, no problem. if so, how?

Clean well: Washing anything you wear with appropriate detergent and water should do the job. Washing your glasses with antibacterial soap and water should be sufficient. Washing you face regularly is most important. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trachoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20378505
