TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined eye health as maximised vision, ocular health, and functional ability, thereby contributing to overall health and wellbeing, social inclusion, and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Louis Pizzarello,A. Abiose,Timothy Ffytche,Rainaldo Duerksen,RD Thulasiraj,Hugh R. Taylor,Hannah Faal,Gullapali Rao,Ivo Kocur,Serge Resnikoff +9 more

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of community-wide azithromycin treatment for trachoma control was assessed, and the results showed that it markedly reduces C tmchomatis infection in 1-10-year-old children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paul M. Emerson,Steve W. Lindsay,Neal Alexander,Momodou Bah,Sheik-Mafuji Dibba,Hannah Faal,Kebba O Lowe,Keith P. W. J. McAdam,Amy A. Ratcliffe,G. Walraven,Robin L. Bailey +10 more
TL;DR: Fly control with insecticide is effective at reducing the number of flies caught from children's eyes and is associated with substantially lower trachoma prevalence compared with controls, consistent with flies being important vectors of trachomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paul M. Emerson,Steve W. Lindsay,Gijs Walraven,Hannah Faal,Claus Bøgh,Kebba O Lowe,Robin L. Bailey +6 more
TL;DR: Fly control decreased numbers of muscid flies by around 75% in the intervention villages compared with controls and may be useful for reducing trachoma and diarrhoea in some situations, but further research on sustainable fly-control methods is needed.
