Museum of the Eye & the Trachoma Epidemic (Free Virtual Event!)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
If you're interested in medical oddities, you'll want to join Museum of the Eye Director Jenny Benjamin for the launch of Behind the Scenes. In this new series, we'll examine curious medical objects in the museum's storage cabinets. The first episode will feature a rare set of glass propaganda teaching slides prepared by the National Trachoma Service.
Trachoma is a bacterial infection that attacks the eyes and has been documented for thousands of years. Learn about the trachoma epidemic in the United States between 1912 and 1924, and its parallels to our current health crisis - the COVID-19 pandemic.
