chlamydia transmission from genitals to eye

Guest

How easy it is it transfer the bacteria causing chlamydia from your genitals to your eye. I masturbated and got semen on my hand, and despite washing my hands i am worried i could transfer the bacteria to me eye. I can not find many cases of this but does it/can it happen easily?
cheers

Well, have you been infected by Chlamydia? Chlamydia can be spread to the eye this way and cause an infection called trachoma. So, if you touched your eyes that have been in contact with your genitals and you do have Chlamydia, yes you are at danger of contracting trachoma.
