Dr. Cui Xin
A positive nucleic acid test for Chlamydia trachomatis can be treated through surgery, medication, and other methods. Patients need to use eye drops and eye ointments, strictly following the doctor's instructions and taking medication on time. Meanwhile, they should pay attention to the distance between the bottle tip and the eye. In cases of moderate to advanced trachoma, complications such as entropion with trichiasis or conjunctival adhesions may occur, requiring timely surgical intervention.
